Friday OT - Do I Have To Pick One?

[Angie]

Thanks so much to @WhatchaGonnaDo for today’s topic!

“If you could go back in time and see anyone in concert, who would you see?”

My personal answers are (each in their prime):

- Bowie
- Prince
- Rolling Stones

What are yours?

 

[Clonefan32]

I feel like a Led Zeppelin concert in their prime would have been an incredible experience. Would have also loved to see the White Stripes.

 

[BCClone]

AC/DC
Stones
Elvis (just to do it)
Skynard

 

[JP4CY]

Springsteen (and I'm not much of a fan)
Tina Turner
Crosby Stills Nash Young

 

[Gonzo]

I'd go back to 1988 and go to this St. Patrick's Day concert to see The Pogues and, who my wife acknowledges as the other love of my life, the late Kirsty MacColl.

I'm going to do 2 categories:

Bands I never saw: Van Halen with David Lee Roth, Journey, Beatles

Bands I have seen: Triumph, Genesis, Rush

 

[madguy30]

I think I'd like to see a bunch of different bands when they were just getting going.

Like Elvis or Buddy Holly when they were playing in gymnasiums.

 

[baller21]

Jimi Hendrix
The Who
Zeppelin
Bowie
White Stripes
The Beatles

 

[Joe4Cy]

Bands I haven't seen: Prince, The Police, early Genesis w/ Peter Gabriel

Bands I have seen: Rush, Springsteen, The GoGos (no seriously, imagine seeing the GoGos in Peoples. and partying with them afterwards...)

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Jimi Hendrix

Whoa, they played there?!?!

 

[matclone]

The Beatles ('62-'63)
The Band
Otis Redding
Patsy Cline
Joe Henderson
The Allman Bros. (with Duane)
Jefferson Airplane

 

[Pope]

Linda Ronstadt

 

[CloneLawman]

Jimi Hendrix

But preferably not the time the Experience was the opening act for the Monkees. Talk about an inverted mismatch.

In 1967, Jimi Hendrix Opened for The Monkees

It sounds like an elaborate joke today — legendary acid rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix working as the warm-up for a teenybopper group like The Monkees? But back in 1967, the pairing actually made a little bit of sense for both

[somecyguy]

Prince
Pink Floyd (either just before or at the release of DSTM
Mozart - Any symphony. I'd love to experience how music was heard back then.

 

[Turn2]

The Stones in '78 - check
The Who w/Moon - check
The Clash - check
Jimmy Page (w/Paul Rodgers, not Zep) - check
CSN, Clapton, Dylan ('70's) - checks

Gotta go with The Grateful Dead or a Neil Young & Crazy Horse jamfest.

Further back - Jimi, Floyd, Allman Bros.

I worked with a guy that saw The Who as the warmup for Herman's Hermits in a Sioux Falls school gym

 

[CyCrazy]

Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Skynrd
Bowie
Stones
Steely Dan
Sinatra

 

[Cyclonepride]

I noticed that Tom Petty was at Wells Fargo at the last minute, so couldn't go, and that turned out to be his last appearance here.
