If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see?

I am a huge Toy Matinee fan. I live in Orange County and heard them on the radio a lot. Never got to see them but dearly would have loved to. Did see Kevin Gilbert several times after his TM days. Both shows were quite good. Still wish he were still with us. Amazing music I'm sure we'd be the recipients of today.

Really wish I were able to have seen The Grays when they came through. I was in college and didn't have money and so thought I'd catch them the next time through, though that would apparently never happen. I'm big fans of Jason Falkner (never had the pleasure to see him) and Jon Brion - saw him once at Largo in LA - was an amazing dinner show.

Allman Bros with Duane
Bob Marley
Little Feat with Lowell 
Dead with Jerry anywhere, anytime
Roy Buchanan at the Livestock show

Definitely Joni Mitchell on her Shadows and Light tour 1979...

Roy Orbison and Friends, 1987.  The night Black and White was recorded

Assuming I was immune to any diseases of the times. (No yellow fever please.) Also, I would have the chance to go to the after concert parties or dos corresponding to the times!

• Any concert with Corelli
  
• Dietrich of Leipzig concerts
• Von Bingen
• The Ring at Bayreuth with Wagner and/or his son
• The concert or incident that made Nietzsche Contra Wagner - there’s a decent movie about this
• Being ’a dignitary’ on the King’s Barge on the Thames when His Majesty had The Water Music repeated several times
• Debut of Beethoven Violin Concerto
• Liszt, Locatelli and Paganini performances
• The series of Siegfried Wagner operas/performances now lost
• Any Charlie Parker performances/concert(s)
• Any Procol Harum concert
• Any Henry Cow, Soft Machine and 801
• Those Cambridge Univ. fellows that did "The Rotter’s Club"
• Any Brian Eno concert
• Stones with Mick Taylor
• Any Howlin Wolf after hours performances - I saw 2 concerts - with Hubert Sumlin.
• The Killers
• Another Capt. Beefheart concert
• Hendrix/Hawaii/Rainbow Bridge
• All the Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals I missed

Of course I would want to have a magic audio video set up to capture all these events and bring them back whilst someone else can pay the artist’s royalties!
