If you could go back in time..............

Re: If you could go back in time..............
 

Segovia.

Re: If you could go back in time..............
 

Nirvana
The Doors
Alice in Chains (with Layne Staley)
The Beatles
Led Zeppelin

Re: If you could go back in time..............
 

I'd def. have to say Alice in Chains with Layne Staley after seeing AIC with William Duvall when they were in DC a few weeks back. Incredible performance and Duvall did a good job singing but I really just wish I could've seen Staley live when he was still alive.

The rest:

Beatles, obvious reasons
Nirvana
Metallica (with Cliff Burton)

I'm sure there's more but those are the ones that immediately jump to mind.

Kiss was my first concert back in their day. I also saw Stevie Ray Vaughan right when his first album came out in a little place that held around 1,000 if that. I had no clue who he was as a buddy wanted to go and 2 or 3 months latter I could brag that I saw him at the boat house right before he hit it big.

Like Too See

Jimi Hendrix
The Doors

Good call. I'm no blues expert, but have been a big fan for many years, and I'd add Muddy Waters somewhere in Chicago in the 1960s and Lightin' Hopkins somewhere in Houston or other Texas location in the 1960s to a list right behind Robert Johnson.

Also, I would have liked to see a mid-70s Kiss show (c'mon, it would have been fun), and early 70s Stones.

As much as I'd like to see many of the music venues that so many have posted about, I'd rather see a Roman Gladiator fight in the Colosseum. Now that's entertainment.

Tramp = thumbs down bitch!

Re: If you could go back in time..............
 

I'd like to have gone to Wood Stock and just had the experience. Just remember do not, I say do not eat the yellow pills.
