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


2020 was the first year of my adult life that I did not attend any concerts. I'm sure that I'm not alone in this unfortunate situation. So, this got me thinking about both the concerts that I "missed" (could've gone, but something went wrong) or concerts I "wished I'd had the chance to see."

Plus, I thought this would be a good bookend to the ongoing (and excellent) thread about "the worst concert you ever saw."

So great to see someone other than me mentioning The Blue Nile in these fora. I had the great pleasure of seeing them at a very small club in Western Massachusetts in 1996, and the same thing happened: They played brilliantly, connected with the audience, and were brought back after their encore by an audience that had had a spiritual connection with the band.

Then, Paul Buchanan sheepishly told the crowd that they'd played everything they knew, but would be happy to repeat a song or two if we'd like. The joint erupted in applause and screams, and The Blue Nile wowed us again.

Fabulous, unforgettable night.

How do doobs get fooled into relating experiences when that was NEVER asked for?
If we have Peabody’s wayback machine I’m going with any of Beethoven priemeres in Vienna or Rach playing any if his own Concertos.
