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."

1913 Paris, France for the premier of "The Rite Of Spring". 


Early 1930s Mississippi -- I'd track down performances by Charley Patton, Robert Johnson and Henry Sloan.

11/7/40 -- the Crystal Ballroom in Fargo, ND to see the Duke Ellington Orchestra.  That's the band with Ben Webster, Johnny Hodges and Jimmy Blanton.

1972 -- Stan Getz "Captain Marvel" band featuring Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Airto Moreira and Tony Williams.
