Who do you want to see at the 9:30 Club in the future?

Myself :(

- Oasis
- Elbow
- My Bloody Valentine (once re-united)
- The Cure
- Cartel

I actually did see Wilco and the Old 97's play the 9:30 Club together a few years ago. I think it was maybe $15. Old 97's opened. Anybody else there?

both Wilco and Old 97's will be playing 9:30 club in the next few months, so I'd like to see them (at $25 or less).

or better yet - together for that $25.

Wilco can even be the opener

Not me - I did see Slobberbone open for the Old 97's many years ago. One of the few unknown opening acts to really blow me away.

I had the same experience seeing the Bottle Rockets open for Matthew Sweet at the old 9:30 club. That may actually have been the first alt-country show I ever saw…by accident, as I was totally there to see M. Sweet.

That's one odd pair

Van Morrison

I've always been a fan of Van the man, but never seen him live. More than a few who have tell me not to bother it will spoil it for me. evidently he's a miserable twat who just walks out on stage, sings a few songs without even looking at the audience let alone interracting with them, then fucks off again.

That's why I've never made the effort to see him in concert.

I saw him last year on a beautiful night in Boston -after witnessing an afternoon red sox win I must note!

I agree with you to an extent: I certainly would put him in the category of somebody I would rather have seen many years ago.

But while e aint what he used to be, he was way too into some of his jazz type stuff, it was still great to see him. Didnt ruin/spoil what I was hoping for at all. And the great Solomon Burke opened for him.

It might sound repetitive, but

Talking Heads
Pixies
The Pogues
Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers
Pavement
Sonic Youth (the whole Dirty album would be great)

Already got my top wish - HIM is playing next month. Others on the wishlist -

Muse
Kill Hannah
Bowie
The Real MacKenzies
The 69 Eyes (though I have no hope they'll ever tour America)

Broken Social Scene
Franz Ferdinand (yay!)
The Wrens
Libertines
Ikara Colt
The Streets
Spoon
Dizzee Rascal
Ted Leo & the Pharmacists

diana degarmo

Manic Street Preachers

Catherine Wheel (if reunited)

Lush ( ditto…minus the drummer who killed himself)

Prince ( late show after his 2 MCI gigs…he did it once after a Cap Center gig)

Iggy Pop ( he was GREAT a couple of years ago)

many others….

OMG! How did I miss that one? Should have been my number 1.
Hopefully they'll come sometime in '05 with the next album. I think the last time they were here was 1999

Have they ever been to DC for a proper gig? Only time I know of was when they opened for Oasis at the Nissan Pavilion.

They played the 9.30 club in September of 1999. I'm pretty sure that was the last time. They are *well* overdue. Luckily, I think not enough people care about them in the US, so if they *do* come I'm guessing they would play the 9.30 club. They fill stadiums pretty much anywhere else.

By pretty much everywhere else you mean England? I think not too many people care about them in other European countries.

True, although they have a curiously strong following in Scandinavia and are of course 'big in Japan'. And then they also toured Cuba which is pretty cool.
