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."

"Surround sound Dark Side of The Moon at Hollywood (FL) Sportatorium would certainly be at the top of my list. At times, the sounds were circling in both directions, from stereo from the main stage, stereo in the rear, and full range speakers on either side."

I was there! Incredible show and sound...and yes I just posted about the 1972 Tull show at the leaky tepee. Pirates World was a great venue...saw Alice Cooper’s Billion Dollar Babies show there. Hell of a lot of fun.

Early 1972. First concert I ever attended and still the most remarkable. We were in high school and Jethro Tull was coming to town. We were all geared up for Aqualung (nobody knew they had a new album which had not been released yet.) Opening act was Beefheart, we had no idea who or what that was, we were content with laughing and making endless fart jokes. Tull comes on, Ian strides to the front of the stage with his acoustic guitar and says 6 words I’ll never forget: "This first song is rather lengthy." Thick As A Brick it was...and it was a revelation.
