I did have Sonic Nurse, but lost it in the hurricane

Nothing eclectic, and I'm sure I could think of others, especially multiple ones from the same performers. These are the ones I love from start to finish, and not just a couple of songs.

Status: offline 		Ah since Stella brought in classical music, I'll have to make a few additions.

Growing up, all there was in our house was Classical music so this is what I would most ask my father to play. In general, I always had more of a fondness for the Eastern European composers as their sound was much darker, tormented than the bourgeois.

Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Opus. 95, aka the New World Symphony.

Liszt's Fantasia and Fugue on the Theme B-A-C-H as well as his Faust Symphonie, Op.108

Bartok's String quartet no 2 - I love the Gypsy sound!

And though my father was not that big of an Opera fan, he indulged me with Puccini's Tosca and Madame Butterfly

Rob Halford may not be able to wail like he did thirty years ago but he can still wail. In his prime there was simply no heavy metal singer that could touch him. He was the quintessential heavy metal singer and still packs a powerful punch. The rest of the band hasn't lost a step.

All cover songs/classics; "Streets of Laredo", great version of the Eagles "Desparado"; Beatles "In My Life"; covers Nine Inch Nails "Hurt", absofuckinglutely owns "Danny Boy". I'll send a copy to anyone who requests it. If I can figure out how and when I find the time.
And to the original poster, that Dead show July 4,1989, Rich Stadium Buffalo NY was a classic late Dead performance, I can even remember some of it.

That's a whole other thread, isn't it? In my case it was Henry's Dream by Nick Cave. Bizarrely I forgot to list anything by Cave, or Music For A New Society by John Cale...
