What are some artists/bands currently performing that you would love to see live in your hometown?

Most of the artists I would prefer to see have been through New Orleans in the last several years, but I was too young to take advantage of the opportunity.

My list would be something like:
-Tool
-The Melvins
-Alice in Chains
-Gojira
-Meshuggah
-Dream Theater
-Iced Earth (as part of a Matt Barlow reunion)
-Megadeth
-Iron Maiden
-Santana

"Currently performing" opens up too many possibilities for me.

Not currently performing (and way before my time) would be Led Zeppelin, Santana (during the "Live at the Fillmore" time), Duke Ellington, Caruso, Oscar Peterson, Jr., Deep Purple (around the Made in Japan time), quite a few solo artists.

You would kill someone to see a band currently performing just not in your area? Easy psycho.

While they still perform, I can't believe I never did what it took to see X back in the day. Not sure I'd want to see them now.

There are no artists performing today that I would even travel out of my way to see perform much less kill someone to see. However, there a several acts from the past that I wish I had seen, not enough to kill over, but I would travel to see them. Tops of the list are the Beatles and Elvis.

I've seen Maiden twice. Last time was in Houston 3 years ago. Would love to see them again. Best live show hands down.

Yes, but who would you be willing to kill to get to see them again? That is the question.

What if it was a terrorist or a murderer? Then would you be willing to kill?

I know this doesn't exactly fit the criteria, as I have seen both of these bands here in Jax. However they're touring together soon and no Jax date on it. That's Clutch and COC.

They're coming to Fort Lauderdale and St. Pete. When I was in my mid-to-late-twenties I made a few trips to the Tampa area for some shows, but married with kids now it's MUCH tougher. Plus, I may be out of state for work anyway.

I know I went slightly off topic but holy CRAP a lot of people haven't read the OP very carefully (except for the killing part -- ). At least my tour is two currently performing groups.

This thread was hijacked in the first reply.

from your list:

Tool
Dream Theater
Iron Maiden
Santana


I would also add:
Tower of Power
Muse
Alter Bridge
Mastodon
Mumford & Sons
Rage Against the Machine
Soundgarden (although I would prefer Audioslave get back together over either of those two)
Stone Temple Pilots (but only with Chester)
Slash and Miles Kennedy

A matter of opinion for sure but UGH!! I never heard anything from Audioslave that I felt could touch Rage's debut or Badmotorfinger. Thankfully I was lucky enough to catch both bands on those exact tours in a couple of small clubs here in Jax.
