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."

Hawkwind at the Treorgy Tree Festival, 1988.
I didn't attend because of personal factors. They played all of my favourites, including Assault and Battery and others from Warrior on the Edge of Time.

Alternatively the Stax revue that toured England in 1967, and played in West Hampstead at a dive known as Kook's Clique. It was a revelation for both artists and audience; Otis Reading, Sam and Dave, Booker T were the house band, and they had only played segregated venues in the US before.
 Years later they would say
"Play it like we played in London"

Also my parents were there, two years before i came along,  so that gig is part of our family story
