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.
