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."

Schubert,

I thought that right after posting. As much as I love the Cantatas, I’d likely opt for solo keyboard performance of various toccata/preludes with accompanying fugues and if possible on the great organ at Bavo, Haarlem. Don’t think he every played that one, though many greats did.

I’d also like to add the premier of the Eroica and one of the great Haydn oratorios Creation or Seasons (or both).

James Brown at the Apollo.  I missed that show on account of not being born yet.
