Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: jpchenet on November 22, 2006, 01:34:44 pm I think the Flying Baguettes on the Friday night have been the highlight for the last couple of years!! ;D
Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: Snoring Rhino on November 22, 2006, 01:59:04 pm Absolutly, (the guest vocalist was a bit dodgy though ;D) and long may they continue.
Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: Paddy_NL on November 22, 2006, 02:37:33 pm Astbury & co would be a nice replacement to the Flying Baguettes if the latter would be fully booked by then... 8)

Green Day.... or maybe the Foo Fighters...although I don't believe that anyone in the Foo's is that into motorsports.... "I'mmmmm on a one way moootooorwaaaaaaayyyyy" Oasis would provide songs that everyone knows....

Almost any of the sixties "three guitars and a drummer" bands, but I feel the Beatles wont be up for it. At the moment around Brum there is a live show featuring a quarter of the Move*(Bev Bevan), Steve Gibbons and Trevor Burton with Danny King and a narrative by Laurie Hornsby. This is a fab'lous show (It should be it was the sound track of my youth) saw it back in May they'd be great on Paddys (and co) scaffolding on Saturday night. Trevors guitar on Shakin' All Over brought all the hairs down my neck way up high. But we could have Cream, Zeppelin and Blue mink... But please, no Oasis 8) *Edited after passing the "peedasanewtposting" test this morning ::) Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: LangTall on November 22, 2006, 11:42:51 pm That's a very modern selection Martini, except for the Moody Blues offcourse...

Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: oldtimer on November 23, 2006, 02:05:02 pm Some great bands listed here - although there would be no chance of ever seeing some of those mentioned as a number of key personnel from these groups are experiencing a state widely known as death...
But now I come to the real reason for joing this thread... Call me old fashioned but I go to Le Mans to WATCH MOTOR RACING not bands. Attending gigs is something I do when not at Le Mans. Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: termietermite on November 23, 2006, 02:15:03 pm I'd agree old timer only I think we're talking Friday night here!

Attending gigs is something I do when not at Le Mans. Totally agree with you on that, oldtimer. First Le Mans car I heard was a Panoz LMP1 firing up, I was sitting in Bleu campsite at the time. I rushed into the circuit to find out what was producing that beautiful music. ;D Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: LangTall on November 23, 2006, 02:30:42 pm Let's put it this way, as the ACO is booking a band anyway for the saturdaynight, they might as well book something we enjoy ;)
Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: termietermite on November 23, 2006, 02:39:32 pm Senior moment ! Only read JPC's bit.
Needless to say, band or not, whoever they are, on the Saturday I will not be watching. However, MB on the Friday may be another matter. Esp. if our tent is bang opposite as it was this year.

Mike Status Quo had that massive hit with the one that went - DAAAAAAA-DA-DA-DA-DA DA-DA DA-DA oh and not forgetting the other hit that went - DAAAAAAA-DA-DA-DA-DA DA-DA DA-DA and then of course there was the ever popular one - DAAAAAAA-DA-DA-DA-DA DA-DA DA-DA Dullsville, Arizona. Seen them live three times. Bored me out of my skull three times. Don't get it. No Sir. Can't see why folk think they are any better than the average pub band. Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: termietermite on November 23, 2006, 05:02:36 pm I once sat next to a guy at a Fairport Convention concert. He had never seen any live folk-rockers before and asked me if I thought he'd like them. "I have very wide musical tastes," says he, "anywhere from Status Quo to James Last." I kid you not.
Don't think he did. Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: LangTall on November 23, 2006, 05:02:52 pm Let me start Mike!!!

Otherwise i think most of the bands I would watch have been listed but top of the list would be Pink Floyd.

If those who aren't interested in the race go and watch a popular beat combo' - who are we to argue? Gets them out of my way at all the good vantage points so I can get a better view and better pics.
Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: LangTall on November 23, 2006, 06:26:22 pm And also, lot's of us will be at the Poobar at the time the band starts playing. ;)

Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: oldtimer on November 24, 2006, 09:38:32 am Let's put it this way, as the ACO is booking a band anyway for the saturdaynight, they might as well book something we enjoy ;) just like the fairground or the Poo bar, it follows the traditional essence of Le Mans which has actually been going since its inception - mainly through Brits enjoying the fruits of French Wine and Beer. For many its apart the Le Mans experience for some its not (probably those who moan about noisy campsites).I suppose this thread, and your last posting Ian, just goes to highlight the diverse nature of the Le Mans crowd. I, and thousands of others I suspect, have never and never will visit either the fairground or the Poo bar as they have nothing to do with the motor racing that I have travelled hundreds and hundreds of miles to see. Basically the same reason that I don't give a stuff who the ACO books for a Saturday night gig. Going to the fair, drinking champagne and attending gigs are all things that I could do anytime (though to be honest fairgrounds don't hold any fascination for me). As for noisy campsites I don't have any complaints - I don't ever go on them as I have better things to do... watch motor racing. But the diversity of the crowd and how they enjoy the weekend IS one of the things that makes the event SPECIAL so please don't think that I look askance at those who do the fairground/Poo bar/Saturday gig thing it just isn't for me. I expect you are all thinking that I must be a sad lonely figure at Le Mans but no, that is not the case. There really are many, many fans of the Great Race who think like me on this and just like the rest of you we meet up travel mob handed and have a fantastic time. Long may it continue. Le Mans is for some a social festival with motor racing on the side and for others, like me, a motor racing festival with social events on the side. We all love it, we all have a great time. Roll on June!! Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: termietermite on November 24, 2006, 11:05:37 am Although I can't say I disagree with your sentiments o/t, it doesn't seem to me that taking a couple of hours out of the 9 days that is LM, to catch up with some old mates, is such a problem. There's something about doing this with the sound of those Vettes in the background that makes it really special. Presumably, you do eat and drink at some point. I normally don't spend more than about 4 or 5 hours in the 24 NOT watching the cars, but even I enjoy a bit of socialising too.
I agree about the funfair but one day, just try going up in the big wheel if only for a totally different perspective of the circuit. Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: LangTall on November 24, 2006, 11:12:47 am Amen to that.
Allthough I guess I spend a few more hours not watching. ;) Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: oldtimer on November 24, 2006, 02:00:31 pm it doesn't seem to me that taking a couple of hours out of the 9 days that is LM, to catch up with some old mates, is such a problem. Catching up with old mates is not a problem at all Termie, as I say I don't travel alone. Perhaps it has something to do with 'the 9 days that is LM'. For me, and probably many others too, limited holiday allowances from work coupled with family holiday commitments at other times in the year mean that LM is 5 days if I am lucky (and more usually 4) so the socialising time is reduced and more of it is done trackside than barside... Big wheel... OK will consider giving it a go. Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: monkey on November 24, 2006, 03:01:54 pm Have to say oldtimer I think I agree with you on this one. I look forward the LM pretty much all year and it seems strange to me to even think about missing motor racing action during the 24 hours, watching a band - plenty of time to do that all year round.
So in a way and to guarantee I don’t even have to make a decision about ‘shall I shant I’ I think if the ACO were booking a band I would recommend Franz Ferdinand because I would not go to the bottom of my tiny garden to see them cause I think they're sh+te ;D Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: termietermite on November 24, 2006, 03:30:38 pm Well I for one will be sorry not to be able to make your acquaintance at the Poo Bar meet. Pity. We could have had a '60s nostalgia trip to the sound of 55 cars flying past. Unbeatable!
Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: oldtimer on November 24, 2006, 04:22:05 pm Well I for one will be sorry not to be able to make your acquaintance at the Poo Bar meet. Pity. We could have had a '60s nostalgia trip to the sound of 55 cars flying past. Unbeatable! Has been known for the odd bottle of Poo to make it into the baggage for consumption trackside somewhere... Based on one of the other threads it may be that the Poo is consumed to the sound of 51 of them - I saw that Audi/Peugeot but didn't hear a thing ;D Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: Pieter on November 24, 2006, 04:25:11 pm I completely forgot to see any band this year. Must have been fun elsewhere. ;D
But, if any of these bands were to play at LM, I'd be there: Red Hot Chili Peppers ZZ Top Audioslave The Cult I like more modern stuff as well, but these bands are more suitable for the race fan audience, I think. Title: Re: Who would you like to play at LM Post by: termietermite on November 24, 2006, 05:41:20 pm I'll give you that O/T, 51 it is. ;D
Oh, btw, our tradition is to go out to Mulsanne and have a picnic on Thursday practice evening. All the trimmings and several cold bottles of poo.

The Flying Baguettes are the excellent group that have graced the DfH friday night party within the Platinum Triangle on MB for the last 2 years - for part of the time accompanying a superb guest vocalist (JPC).
