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."

Benny Goodman January 16, 1938 Carnegie Hall New York

Stravinsky May 29 1913  Théâtre des Champs-Élysées Paris


Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsies at the Fillmore East New Year’s Eve 1969! Instead I and three friends from Greenwich High went to the Dead show there a week earlier! I could easily have bought the Hendrix tickets when I went down to the Fillmore box office four weeks earlier! $3.50, $4.50, $5.50 - early or late show! Instead I got three tickets for the Dead early show. 
Creedance Clearwater at Woodstock, August '69! I had to be at work that weekend so no could go! 
The Allman Brothers Live at the Boston Tea Party. The first and best concert I ever saw. Duane was still alive.

The worse? Bob Dylan. He was in is country phase back then. We left after four or five numbers. It was pitiful.

Top concerts = The Dead (when they were hot), Little Feat, Radiohead, Tina Turner, Pat Benatar, The Stones (when they were hot), Death Cab for Cutie (what a name?), Richard Thompson Electric Band, Richard Thompson Solo, Carmina Burana, Beethoven's 9th
Woodstock 69’

 not to be confused with the violent crappy music at the so called Woodstock in 93? 94 ? I forget.

 Ac/dc with Ron Scott (Bon)

 Every rock/prog/heavy metal/thrash metal concert held from 1978 - 1995. Minus that Woodstock garbage show. 
Also, I would be friends with Brian Johnson, and get him blasted on Bushmills, so he missed the audition, and make sure Marc storace showed up!


  Get every autograph I could, and stop at every comic and baseball card shop, and load up.
and find the Honus Wagner card for cheap, and buy it.
