If you could go back in time and see one concert

[GiaCat]

A concert that occured before you where born. What would it be?


For me, it would be Ziggy Stardust Damn, he was so sexy and chic in 1973

 

[Peregrinator]

Maybe Woodstock. Possibly one of the Pistols' shows in London. Maybe Miles Davis, almost any time or anywhere.

 

[MakersandIce]

Miles Davis at the '63 Monterey Jazz Festival.

 

[Moonlust]

Oh, easy. 1764/65ish. Mozart's European tour. Maybe London, when he met Bach?

 

[Peregrinator]

Miles Davis at the '63 Monterey Jazz Festival.

That's a good choice. I was also thinking VSOP 2 in maybe 81 or 82.

Slut.

 

[blondedreamz]

WOW, Now I have to go back to the 50's for this one. I'm not an Elvis fan so I guess it would have to be Chuck Berry.

 

[Moonlust]

That's a good choice. I was also thinking VSOP 2 in maybe 81 or 82.


Slut.

He was like ten, then, that doesn't make me a slut!

Sam & Dave 1966 Stax-Volt European tour w/ Booker T and the MGs and Otis Redding

 

[Moonlust]

Sam & Dave 1966 Stax-Volt European tour w/ Booker T and the MGs and Otis Redding

Ooh, good one. I heart Booker T.

 

[OscarTheGrouch]

Any show with Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and or Jerry Garcia.

Otherwise I've seen everything

 

[MakersandIce]

That's a good choice. I was also thinking VSOP 2 in maybe 81 or 82.

Another good choice.


My second choice would be Miles and John Coltrane in Stockholm in '60.

 

[KRCummings]

Altamont. That or The Beatles at Candlestick Park.

 

[Colonel Hogan]

Not before I was born, but when I was an adult.

The Blues Brothers (w/Belushi) at Red Rocks in Denver. I forget the year. I just blew it off thinking I would see them sometime eventually.

I didn't plan on John dying.

 

[TurdFergeson]

tough one...i'd have to say Floyd before Syd Barrett went insane.

 

[richard_daily]

Ooh, good one. I heart Booker T.

The MGs really only have one well known song, but they were back-ups on so many great songs... and people don't even know it.

They were a staple of my childhood musical diet, so I can't see that, but wasn't really alive for knowing what was popular. I'm not too good at that now, either.

 

[Wrong Element]

Not literally before I was born, but I would have loved to have seen Hendrix at Monterey, before anyone in the U.S. knew who he was.

And any time at Minton's in the early '40s, watching Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, and Dizzy Gillespie inventing their thing.

Same here. I'm pretty oblivious to pop culture, and my mom had a huge record collection when I was growing up, so I think I got exposed to a lot of stuff that most kids my age probably didn't hear... I was listening to Roy Orbison, the Monkees, and James Brown and Lead Belly by age 4 or 5. Never got to see any of that stuff in their prime, as it was well before my time.

Ditto, but it was my dad

Oooh! Yes, please.

Piece o' cake:

May 7, 1824
Kärntnertortheater in Vienna

The premiere of Ludwig von Beethoven's 9th Symphony, one of the most significant pieces of music ever written.

And Beethoven didn't hear one note of it, because he was stone deaf when he composed it.

That's not why I said it.

Another good choice.

I just was listening to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4FAKRpUCYY

That's a good call. Another would be to see Genesis or Gabriel solo in the early days.

I'm not either.

He was an amazing man

 

[FASCES]

I would have to say that I would like to go back to the first Bayreuth Festival.
Or the first staging of some of Wagner's works.

Good choice
"well hung and snow white tan"
but unfortunately it was after I was born.

"I was born too late to see Josephine Baker
Dancing in a Paris cabaret" but I would have liked to.
