This is regardless of genre, so I'd say:

Opening Act-The Sundays w/a special finale guest, Kitchens of Distinction for a 90s-style "120 Minutes"-esqe jam session

Second Act-Style Council

Headliner-Steely Dan

(It's gonna happen, people)

Andrew Huff / May 26, 2011 12:26 PM

Toad the Wet Sprocket, Andrew Bird, Twilight Singers.

Or John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong.

David / May 26, 2011 1:29 PM

WTF is a concert?

Gimme a dirty warehouse, some stacks of speakers, and a pair of 1200's.

Invite Jeff Mills, Green Velvet, Derrick Carter, Daft Punk (circa Homework ONLY), Daniel Bell, Robert Armani, and John Acquaviva.

[Concerts are for people who don't know how to dance.]

Cheryl / May 26, 2011 3:32 PM

An evening of duets from Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald.

PMan / May 26, 2011 11:34 PM

A loose set at the Hideout with John Prine, Robert Earl Keen and Emmylou Harris.

An outdoor concert featuring Beiber, Gaga, Sir Andrew Lloyd Weber and whoever won the last Idol.

And a lightning storm.

Brubeck / May 29, 2011 1:13 AM

Concerts are for people who don't know how to dance.

What the hell does that mean?

Mucky Fingers / May 29, 2011 12:24 PM

Zakk Wylde, Neil Young and the Black Crowes somewhere in a meadow.
