Ramones - 1977
Motorhead - 1980
Iron Maiden - 1982
Sex Pistols - 1978
Jane's Addiction - 1989
Chili Peppers - 1987
Big Black - 1988
Black Sabbath - 1970
Bob Marley - 1979 (little change of pace - it's good now & then)
Rolling Stones - 1969 (they play Sympathy For The Devil)
Kiss - 1976 (You have to end with Kiss!)

Me again - changed my login name but it's me, the guy who started the thread.

When I said in parentheses(sp?)that you have to end with Kiss, I didn't mean YOU, merely that for me I had to end with Kiss. This doesn't make sense probably, but I think you know what I mean.

I just remembered that I saw Cale open for Pere Ubu in Cleveland - 1988. No duets, sadly .. but Cale was way better than Ubu that night.
