Response:
I’d have to go with: 1: Parliament. hour long songs just do it for me. 2: Grateful Dead. Phil Lesh is cool. But the jams man, the jams. 3: Tool. That would be one high powered show. Granted almost any solid metal or punk would work for me 4: Band of Gypsys. Hendrix, I want to play with Hendrix. 5: Tom Ze or Os Mutantes. after the above, it’d be high time I play something psychedelic. peace if you got any qualms, BRING IT! Beau
Response:
1.) Alice Cooper. His original group rocked! 2.) Iggy And The Stooges. Raw Power 3.) David Bowie. Around the Spiders From Mars era. 4.) Lords Of The New Church. Punk rock meets psychedelica in the late 70’s. 5.) The Rolling Stones. Hey! Who in there right mind wouldn’t want to play with the Stones.
Response:
1) Parliament, for all that funking 2) Fishbone, for da reggae beat 3) RHCP, for all that jumping 4) Primus – it’d be fun for an hour at least 5) Dream Theatre – if I was physically possible of playing the bass lines %-) BTW, has anyone noticed the work spell check has guitarist but not bassist?

Response:
I can’t help myself: Besides, I wasn’t satisfied with my first go-round. 1) The original Shaft sountrack sessions (Listen to the original soundtrack start-to-finish sometime). 2) Barry White’s Love Unlimited Orchestra (for the sheer bigness of it). 3) The Funk Brothers (Motown’s house band). 4) Louis Jordan and the Tympany Five. 5) Willie Mitchell’s Band (they were Al Green’s backing group and the Hi Records house band). edvaard PS I’d settle for just hearing these cats live, or being in the same building with them!
Response:
> 3) The Funk Brothers (Motown’s house band).

Response:
-Eric Clapton doing blues. -BB King. -Jamiroquai (old stuff, the Stu Zender era 
-Anything that opened for Stariani so I can go get drinks w/Stu Hamm after the show 
-Tower Of Power… although this is weird. I mean, Rocco rules and I don’t think I’d last half a set of solid 16ths a la Rocco. But it sure would be fun to play THAT thing! Or maybe behind James Brown. Something to make the house SHAKE! — Javier Gonzalez Nicolini Ingenieria Civil en Computacion – Universidad de Chile
Response:
To many to list, but a couple come to mind. – Miles and Coltrane working out Kind of Blue. Play with these guys? Hell, just to be in the same room. – Bob Marley and the Wailers. Any tour, any time. – Ian Dury and the Blockheads circa 1979. Too much fun. – The Pouges circa 1988. Best show I have ever seen. The band was just as drunk as the crowd, and it worked. – The Mothership. Who doesn’t want to be Bootsy for one night. Still dreaming. Tom

-The Smiths – tasty bass lines, and Jonny Marr is one of my all time favorite guitarists! -Juliana Hatfield – Her songs rock, she writes great bass and guitar stuff. I love her! -James Taylor – I love playing with acoustics, and to fill the shoes of Leland Sklar and Tony Levin.. wow! -Fishbone – Norwood is my hero. They put on the best live show with the best grooves! -Dave Matthews – Acoustic guitar! Warwick Thumb! Best of James Taylor and Fishbone in one! -Ween – They write the weirdest most rediculous stuff, and still come up with some of the greatest gems. No two songs are alike.. Would be a blast to play with! -G Love with Special Sauce there, I cheated too. jordan

Not neccessarily–he did have Marcus Miller with him for a spell. Hired him away from no less than Miles Davis I believe.
