good choices everyone
but Band on the Run? that just about kills this thread

Yes, that was a close one - but to keep this thread alive - how about 'It's Only Rock N Roll' - does that qualify? "Suicide right on the stage". . .but I like it.

In the peripherical zones we might find Deep Purple's

"Where The Bands Are" Bruce Springsteen & ESB

Another good one: "The Ballad of the Opening Band" by Slim Dunlap.

Slim played for a while in The Replacements, and his two solo discs are real good stuff.
