Time machine concert!

[SkullDaddy.45]

If you can get into a time machine and go back to see any band or artist, who would it be? I was driving home today when this question was asked over the radio. My pick would be the Grateful Dead! And maybe Boston. What band or artist would you have loved to see live?

 

[IrishSon of Liberty]

Tough choice, but just off the top of my head I'll say the Allman Brothers Band w/Duane & Dickie.

Another top choice would be Led Zeppelin

 

[chezuki]

Alice in Chains when Layne was still alive and semi-coherent.

Stevie Ray Vaughan when he was playing small bars in Texas. (and tell him to stay off helicopters!)

Lynyrd Skynyrd in SC on October 20, 1977 (and try to convince Ronnie to charter a bus.)

 

[Fishersjohn48]

Easy one. The Beatles.

 

[SouthernStar25]

So many, but just a few that come to mind -- Uncle Tupelo, Johnny Cash, The Beatles, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Hank Williams.

 

[churchmouse]

Stevie Winwood on the Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys tour.
Creame...Disraeli Gears tour.
Black Sabbath Paranoid tour.
Jethro Tull...Stand up tour.
Yes....Fragile tour
Kansas Song for America tour.
James Gang Bang tour.
Rush Fly By night tour.
Beatles Abby road tour....Did they tour at that time?????

I could go on and on.

Alice in Chains when Layne was still alive and semi-coherent.

Stevie Ray Vaughan when he was playing small bars in Texas. (and tell him to stay off helicopters!)

Second the Alice in Chains and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Also would love to see Queen again. Saw them in about '77. Annnnnd.... The Carpenters. Karen had the smoothest voice ever.

The great show for me that never happened (I know, slightly OT, but just as likely as a time machine!) would be with The Dead, Elvis, Sinatra, Cash and B.B., and Hendrix.

 

[1775usmarine]

Pantera prevent dimebag from getting shot, The Beatles , Jimi Hendrix tell him to quit drugs, Pink Floyd, and many others.

 

[MrHank]

Led Zeppelin
AC/DC with Bon
Hank William Jr (early years)
The Who
Aerosmith
Black Sabbath
Megadeth
Scorpions
The Kinks

That's all I could think of right now.

 

[SkullDaddy.45]

Jeez, after reading some of the bands and artist, I'm rethinking my picks! Jonny Cash, Elvis, Chuck Berry. Would of been nice to watch rock and roll evolve. Muddy Waters, BB King, Buddy Guy back in the early days.

 

[churchmouse]

My list has doubled.
I saw Zepplin here in indy at the Colosseum back in the stone knives and axes days. Must have been 1968 or so.
Saw Tull at the Armory around the same time.

 

[Snapdragon]

Tull would be great.

 

[churchmouse]

Tull would be great.

In those days he was wicked evil on the flute. I still listen to everything Pre-Aqualung.

Wow!! I didn't know the colosseum had parking for horse and buggies!!

Since I was a flautist back in the day, I play air flute when I hear Ian do a really good riff.

 

[jagee]

Woodstock.

I second the Skynyrd that Chez said.

 

[SkullDaddy.45]

I've just added going to see SD2 playing her air flute!!!

 

[Hoosier8]

One of my favs was ZZ Top early when they were a lead in band. Everything was white, carpet, clothes, equipment and while they played, the lighting would change their color. Of course they were awesome.

Never saw him in concert but I would definitely go back and see Stevie Ray Vaughan if I had the chance.
