Who would you like to play at LM

[Barry]

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.

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.

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

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 C (Liverpool Boys)]

As a middle aged old fart, I remember this lot in there hay day. Status Quo, are the band to get. Every concert I have been to, has an age range from 16 to 60+.

Now you can spend hours slagging me off.

Let me start Mike!!!

Lets all have taste like myself and Martini who like modern Dance music as well as all the old music. Most people say I have the most varied collection of music on my i**d.

Excellent choice

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.

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.

Ha!

Bet I can beat you on that one Rick!

[Nordic]

Never seen them live, but I guess ZZ Top could be good.

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

But isn't that my point... aren't we supposed to be enjoying the racing so who cares who they book on the Saturday?

[termietermite]

It's fine by me o/t.  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.

[LangTall]

And also, lot's of us will be at the Poobar at the time the band starts playing.

Having 24 hours of hearing the great sounds of the Vettes, Panoz etc etc allows the chance of an hour or so of alternative entertainment, 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).

Too true.
Definately no contest there.
