00:00So with Transmit, just next month, taking place right around the corner at Glasgow Green,
00:05we are here on Buchanan Street asking people who would be on their dream line-up.
00:09We are also asking people who is the best live act they've ever seen.
00:12Definitely Drake, probably Kendrick.
00:15Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Roxy Music.
00:20I've been listening to a lot of Gloryhammer and Windrose lately.
00:24Well, it's a kind of toss-up between Alex Harvey, sensational Alex Harvey band.
00:28I just missed out on getting my Metallica ticket because they sold out too fast.
00:33That's really cool to see.
00:34Jerry Cinnamon, Jamie Webster.
00:39We'll slap a bit of Kesha in there if she could, like, you know...
00:42Oh, actually, wait, no. Maybe Bring the Horizon.
00:45Coldplay, and I like every kind of music.
00:49Chapel Rhone, Billie Eilish.
00:52My taste of music is a bit different from terms of that I'm more of a country man.
00:56So, yeah, I mean, given...
00:58Like, if I could have anyone on the headline, it would be the Highwaymen.
01:01So, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Chris Christophson and Whelan Jennings.
01:05Just those four guys, for me, would be...
01:08Yeah, that would be it.
01:10Again, we've seen the Beach Boys.
01:12There was only two of them left, the originals.
01:14But it's still amazing musicianship.
01:18Skippin-ish, a bit of a rogue one.
01:20Ed Sheeran.
01:21Ed Sheeran.
01:22Yeah.
01:23Or Chris O'Bone.
01:24Because I saw Harvey in Glasgow when I saw him before that.
01:27But he played at the first Nedworth.
01:30And he blew away all the top-liners.
01:33Because he was a combination of musical genius and also a touch of theatrical,
01:42which made it even more interesting.
01:44Who's the best person you've ever seen live?
01:47Jamie Webster.
01:48Absolutely Jamie Webster.
01:49Where did you see him?
01:50The Glasgow Hydro.
01:53That was absolutely amazing.
01:55Love him.
01:56What's that made it so good?
01:57He's just so social.
02:00He speaks with the crowd.
02:01He's...
02:02Biffy Clyro.
02:03And the front-bottoms.
02:05Harvey came out of a period which you can't really recreate,
02:09because he was a lot of menace, as well as a lot of humour.
02:13So I don't know if you get bands that could really come up with that.
02:16And plus it was a strange mixture of rock and music hall almost.
02:21Best actor I've ever seen, I would say, would be Fleetwood Mac.
02:28Well really, when did you see them?
02:30About four years ago, four or five years ago.
02:33In Glasgow.
02:35Amazing.
02:36Yeah, fantastic.
02:37He's just absolutely class.
02:39He's...
02:40He's a folk singer.
02:42He's great with the guitar.
02:44And he played while he was sick as well and he still did it.
02:47Fantastic.
02:48What is it about country music that you like so much?
02:50Erm...
02:53It tells a story.
02:54You know what I mean?
02:55It's not just words.
02:56It's...
02:57You know what I mean?
02:58There's...
02:59There's heart in it.
