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.
