If you could go back in time and see one concert

[Bert Notorius]

1986

Queen

Wembley

Yes I was born then

the question parameters are outside my requirements

 

[MakersandIce]

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

You really shouldn't do that when I'm out of scotch.

 

[GiaCat]

I would like to have experianced the begining of 'New Wave'. The Cars, The Clash, Blondie

 

[Bert Notorius]

You really shouldn't do that when I'm out of scotch.

One should never BE out of scotch!

 

[LostBaby]

Jethro Tull at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans.

 

[Bohemian Blue]

I was going to post but then you made the restriction to a concert before you're lifetime.

The one concert I want to see was in my lifetime but when very young.

 

[RoryN]

1958.

The Modern Jazz Quartet at The Blackhawk in San Francisco.

Or Dave Brubeck

Or Miles Davis

Or Thelonious

Or Coltrane

Or Art Tatum

Or Billie Holiday and Lester Young

Just to be a fly on that wall...

See...

One should never BE out of scotch!

..exactly.

Jethro Tull at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans.

Great choice. My brother and sister were at the last time Tull--or any other rock band--was allowed to play at Colt Park in Hartford. My sister came home with a T-shirt that my dad wouldn't let her wear...she didn't know what it meant...

I'd be more than happy with any of these. I don't know if MJQ toured in support of "Blues On Bach," but I would have loved to see that show, if they did.

 

[misturbond]

Iron Maiden Live After Death Long Beach Arena.

 

[incognito]

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

I'm with you on this one. My Dad saw that tour in '72 (one year before I was born) at a tiny theater.

Also the Stones in '72

The Beatles at the Cavern Club in '61-'62.

I know that's more than one, but I can never decide when it comes to music.

Ohhhh, Billie Holiday. *sigh* The very thought of you...
I would have loved to have seen Freddy Mercury, too, in his day.

 

[rosco rathbone]

I was thinking this tonite because I was out watching lame bands.

It would be either Hendrix with Mitch Mitchell or The Bad Brains in the "Rock For Light" era.

 

[where]

john Coltrane live would be good, or Joy Division's last gig

 

[pointless]

the velvet underground with john cale still in the band. i'd kill for that. also, i would've loved to see fugazi before they went on "hiatus." fuckers never came around me or when they did i never heard about it until it was too late or i was fucking broke and no one wanted to go with me. story of my life, that one.

Bolshoi Theater, 1954, Moscow, "Festive Overture" by Dmitri Shostakovich.

Ooooh good one! I saw Nico years back. It was tragic

Great call.

 

[iceburg1]

Hendrix

maybe the Doors, not because I particularly like them but the atmosphere must have been good

Mozart

 

[Hank_Carey]

Great call.

Thank you.

 

[satindesire]

Fleetwood Mac.

With all the awesome music I listen to these days, Fleetwood Mac is still my favorite band ever.

Best. Song. Ever.

 

[cjh]

bob dylan, 1966, royal albert hall, manchester, england.

play fucking loud.

 

[mrtnmoon]

hmmm... before I was born...

I guess I'd slip back to Bedrock and watch Rock Roll.

 

[thesorrow07]

The very last The Who concert.

 

[miles]

Jethro Tull - any time.

The original Allman Brother Band when Duane Allman and Berry Oakley were still alive.

 

[thesorrow07]

The very last The Who concert.

Or the concert where Townshend smashed his first gituar. Rock history.
