If given the chance to go back in time and see ONE band/musical act, who would it be?
I have a flash drive in my car that holds a ton of music, and I let it shuffle on the drive home tonight. Heard a live version of Queen's Fat Bottom Girls that I forgot I even had. Started thinking about some of the YouTube clips I've seen in their performances when Freddie was in his prime.
That morphed into another thought - if I could travel back in time to see one band or musical act perform, who would it be, when would it be and where? I'm not sure I can even answer my own question, but I bet some of you guys can, and it beats talk of 4-12 and chicken and waffles. Go. |

I wish I had seen a Springsteen concert back in the 1970s. But Queen would be good, too.

Honorable mention (in no particular order):
The Who around the time of "Who's Next" (actually anytime when Moon was still alive) Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust phase. Early Black Sabbath (saw Sabbath with Dio and saw Ozzy solo a couple of times) Blondie at CBGB Ramones at CBGB Sex Pistols Pink Floyd when Waters was still in the band early Johnny Cash (with the Tennessee Three) Emmylou Harris when she still had the Hot Band |

Never saw Zep. Saw Page Plant with Jason Bonham at Kemper. Great show, even though my ex wife puked all over our row.

I think Queen has to be the best answer, right?

I saw the Dead 25 times before Jerry died. Once in KC at their last Sandstone show around 4th of July.
Others were Landover (people actually got thrown out for smoking tobacco, see difference of west coast shows on same tour later), Memphis, Soldier Field, Riverport in Stl, Denver (McNicholls before it closed), Phoenix, Eugene (many topless chicks on the same Landover tour) Mountain View (on same Landover tour, saw a dude with a 3 foot glass bong on the lawn. How did he get it in?) Good times. Still see the other band members and their tours but nothing close to when Jerry was alive. |

I'd rather go see the whole Monterrey Pop Festival from 1967...everybody that was anybody at the time was there (The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Mama's and the Papas, The Animals, etc. check out this list...and it was Hendrix's first show in the U.S.
I was lucky enough to get to the the Grateful Dead at Sandstone on June 24, 1991...the next night was the last time they ever played at Sandstone. I would have loved to have seen them pre-1972 because the Grateful Dead with Pigpen was a DIFFERENT band...so says a friend of mine who became a fan in San Francisco back in the '60s, and was still going to their shows in the '90s.
