If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see?

In order that we be responsible audiophiles I suggest that we only time travel back to concerts that we DID NOT attend (in order to maintain time/space continuity).

This said, I would like to attend good concerts by artists that I never saw live.

The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Gram Parsons come to mind.

Jim’s Hendrix, late 60s NYC “Purple Onion” Club in Greenwich Village

A little of topic, but even as a lifetime R&R fan I would like to have witnessed performance of some of the greatest Classical pieces by the masters.

Vivaldi,Hayden,Bach, Beethoven, Mozart....

Anything else seems insignificant. Seating accommodations and no A/C  was probably awful though. Wouldn't have to stress about the guy in front of me with the Iphone recording. Are there some of THESE guys here?

Good thinking...

After all - Mr. Peabody and Sherman did pay a visit to Beethoven.

Suitable clothing (wardrobe) would take a bit of doing, but it is doable.

Too many more to list. obviously all the classic rockers, Zep, Sabbath, Butterfly, Hendrix, etc.

One more, is the time our band was playing a club in Charlotte in '79. We were the House Band. ZZ Top's pickers came in with 2 GORGEOUS women and sat up close to the band. Hard to mistake the beards. Anyway, the 2 girls got up to dance and they shook things that I didn't know would even shake. The band dropped the music instantly and picked it up again in a split second. It was as if someone had pulled the plug and quickly  put it back. It was among the funniest things I have ever seen  or had happen in my time playing. No one in the audience ever said anything about it but I heard it. BTW I have loved playing music live and listening live & recorded. I consider it a way of life, not a hobby.
