Concerts you would risk time travel to see

Thank you for this --

a couple - not really this community's taste, but I'll play. . .

Bruce. Soldier Field, 1985.
we talked about it --
today there is no way I want anything to do with a crowd like that.

Garth. 1989. the … Fair.
about to explode - we saw him at the mn state fair in '90 and '91 during the explosion
( listened to Roping the Wind all the way from montana )

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Circle Two sessions. I had the video - it is still one of my favorite cds
( saw them in 2004. … state fair. just before (the wheels came off)

finally, historically, for a midwest. boy - and Because I have driven through a hundred times... how 'bout
Buddy Holly, BigBopper, and RichieValens. Clear Lake, iowa. 195x


no.

Cash. Folsom Prison Blues. 196x
The Rocker breaks down walls...

( Didn't That become a movie (!) )

Oh hell yes!

I want to go to some Harry Chapin shows. Some Velvet Underground or Lou and JJ Cale at the Brooklyn Academy of Music would be nice. Some Fillmore East stuff wouldn't be bad, 4/28/71 would be high on the list. I want to go be a part of some of the Pete Seeger shows from small parks in the Hudson Valley. The GD in Egypt. It would have been nice to sit in on some Coltrane shows too. Too many...

How's this time traveling thing going to work? Can it be something simple like a teleporter or something weirder?

depeche mode rose bowl 1988- i used to spend lots of money on concerts driving to Vancouver from Calgary etc to see all the "good bands" I saw depeche mode in Calgary in '92 I think and it was one of the best concerts I had ever seen so why not go to possibly their most famous show?

also every Ramones show ever

Veneta aug 27, 1972

The Smile Jamaica concert with Marley's impromptu 90 minute set days after being shot.

Hendrix, Beatles, VU, Gram Parsons and Emmylou, early Doors, the Live Dead concert, Led Zep the first tour, Yardbirds (1 ea. Clapton, Page, Beck), almost any 1960s Troubador gig, early Talking Heads, the Replacements on a good night and a really bad one...

The last waltz. Yes, there's a movie. Still would like to see it live. Also would like to see one of the Bands "road trip" concerts earlier in the 60s

I'd like to go to one of the war time shows Django played for big bucks for mister big dick Porfirio Rubirosa - because it's what a debauched WW2 show would be I think.

Lots of Mags Time Travels I'd like to hitch a ride on.

But, I'd insist on catching Metallica any time between Dec 1985 and September 27, 1986. Misfits, Halloween 1982. 5/28/89 @ 924 Gilman St.

Wembley 1986.....

you can see much of HarryChapin's final concert on youtube --

they played it on a loop on the student center concourse for a week in 1982 - I was hooked. Cool dude ; figured some sh*t out. died too soon...


is a teleporter Star Trek ?

I'm going with the flux capacitor : " roads(?) where we 're going, we don't need roads... "


Seeger (?) Woody. some camp in the '30s...

Four times Hendrix, Parsons on the first tour introducing Emmylou in a small club, Zep with Mott the Hoople first tour.

how 'bout Dylan goes electric. 1960x

Steven Hawking when I was 14.

Zeppelin with Bohnam the elder duh! Hendrix, Thin Lizzy, ACDC with Bonn... Janis Jopplin. Stevie Ray Vaughn.. And the Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, Big Bopper JP Richardson last gig. I'd tell them to take the bus instead of that plane..

I have the tape of the whole show kicking around somewhere but my last tape deck died a while back :( I was at what was going to be his last show hanging out on the field with a couple thousand other people when we heard that he died a few hours earlier in the accident on the LIE. You've never seen so many sad people in one place :( I still get goosebumps every time I think about it.

Yup. Dude think about it - Live somewhere with a hammock and warm water with big waves, work wherever you need to and then go ski powder somewhere in the world on the way home from work. If you can figure out how to make that work for time travel too you've got shit all worked out and you can just bounce around from one fun thing to another. Don't forget to buy some IBM when you're back in 1967 ;)

Good call.

Any of the shows with the crew that recorded kind of blue.

Not a specific concert, but I'd be willing to do a short time bounce to see THE BETA BAND in their prime...pretty much every album they did was stellar. Not sure what their live shows were like, but I'd risk the space/time continuum to see them just to find out if they were as good live as they were in the studio.

Another one would be ANGEL'IN HEAVY SYRUP, again, no specific concert date, just one of their shows during their prime.

Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, Miles Davis, Lester Young, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Tal Farlow, Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Patsy Cline, Django Reinhardt, Thelonius Sphere Monk, Cream, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Country Joe and the Fish, Jefferson Airplane, XTC, Clash, Material, Blind Faith, Traffic, Beatles, Delaney and Bonnie, Derek and the Dominos, Allman Brothers, Joy Division, New Order, Bachs, Brahms, Beethoven, Telemann, Dvorjak, Rimsky-Korsakov, Chopin, Stravinsky, Mussorgsky, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, The Specials, The English Beat, Morphine, Blondie, The Voidoids, Hendrix for starters.

Throbbing Gristle. Fuck that would be a mindblower.

So many of my fave bands rarely played live; but if seeing them in studio counts, then it would be awesome to watch Zoviet France record Mohnomische.

Would love to be at the final Thin White Rope show in Ghent (“The one that got away” is one of the best live albums ever recorded.)

Or the Pogues back in the Rum Sodomy era.

nov 29 1991
Aragon brawl room Chicago
pearl jam pumkins and peppers
walked in and all the main stage chairs were being passed and piled in a corner
at that point I knew it was gonna git good
the old man of mosh would go back in a heart beat
other than that Clapton on guitar for Waters pros and cons of hitchhiking
would be one id go back for

Buster,
"The English Beat" Quote

One of the founders lives in San Fransisco and comes up to Seattle to play as the English Beat every few years. Saw them at the Moore a few years ago really fun show. Everyone danced the whole time.

70s Dead. Bob Marley. Hendrix. Taylor Swift.

BB King- The night he almost lost "Lucile" due to the fight and the fire.
Robert Johnson- Any performance would do just fine.
Gatemouth Brown- Kalamazoo, 1993 ish, Greatest guitar performance I have ever witnessed in person.
Jerry Garcia Band-Keystone 11-18-75.
Grateful Dead- Any of the Acid Test performances/non-performances
JJ Cale & Leon Russell at the Paradise Studios, LA 1979
Ray Charles w/ Blues Brothers- Ray's Music Exchange, 1980
James Brown - 01/26/86

I'm just glad I got to see FZ a dozen or so times.

Would love to have experienced FZ once.

Was driving with my son the other day. He was playing some ELP Tarkus, got me thinking.

Brain farting on whether I already mentioned this, but:

Genesis with Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett still in the mix. Ideally The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway tour, but anything with the full, seminal line up. And say what you will about Collins, dude was a beast behind the skins in the early days of Genesis...

nothing to add -
it just feels like this thread could use a bump
( hopefully, Live Music returns this year ) !

play on ! skiJ

Talking Heads, 1983 at the Pantages

Can’t fight you on this at all. Phil kicked ass on the drumz

And I’m not paying $4-600 to see the current tour

If I wanted to go back and see a show I saw in the past again, probably 4 Non Blondes/Soundgarden/Faith No More at the I Beam in SF 1989. Or the Melvins double set at the Cactus in SJ 1994.

Miles Davis in Osaka 2/1/1975 aka the Agharta and Pangea live show recordings

GD 3/22/90

Really any classic late 70s or early 80s FZ show
