The late Bill Graham used to throw shows that would feature all sorts of different music, jazz, rock, even classical or world music before it was categorized as such. That was the idea. To expose yourself to new stuff, to open your mind, to enjoy the expression of the genius of creativity in music, theatre, art!
Wtf... am I the only hippie here that thinks that could be a mindbendingly awesome show or what? I have heard both live and they are capable of pure juice jam.
Why does everything have to fit into some sort of presciption for categorizing that just closes one off to things?

I'd go see Kool and The Gang, if they were playing with the Gap Band, although I wouldnt go to the MGM and fight the crowd to see them. But a smaller place, like The Joint, yeah that would be great.
I'd go see Van Halen even with their horrible new song, if they were playing with someone like Slash, Aerosmith, etc. I would even go to the MGM for that. But to go to the MGM for Van Halen and Kool and the Gang, its not happening for me. I dont like either band enough for that. But if they were at the Orleans Arena or The Palms, sure.
Last band I saw at the MGM was AC/DC and I couldnt wait to get out of there. I hate large venues, so it has to be a killer show put together to get me to go to one.
