| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @boothroyd, good choice with Stephen Bruton. I wish I would've caught Gary Clark, Jr in the local clubs when I had the chance. I heard about The Shady Grove and Threadgills closing down. Man, it looks like the world is probably gonna be a boring p... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @Only waytoomuchstuff, great story about the Texas International Pop Festival. I know there are bootlegs of some of those sets floating around, because a friend of mine has a copy of Santana's set. I remember the sound quality being surprisingly g... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @milkkefir, good choice with Joni Mitchell's 79 tour with Jaco & Metheny. Her 74 tour for "Miles of Aisles" with Tom Scott & The LA Express (Robben Ford on guitar) would also be a good choice. | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? Traffic from 1967 - 1973. I'd want to see the original lineup with Dave Mason, the modified original lineup for "Welcome To The Canteen" (with Jim Gordon & Ric Gretch), the "John Barleycorn" lineup and the lineup with the Muscle Shoals boys th... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @sgreg1, you make two good points:1) "SRV, so I could tell him not to get on the helicopter!"Now that's the kind of creative response that I've been looking for in this thread!!2) "I was there...but, I didn't have the opportunity to remember the m... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @kingbr, great point about catching a band early in their career, before they go mainstream and sell out (assuming they even get that opportunity). Not to mention having to deal with the trendster - wannabe, "Johnny come lately" fans that show up ... | |

| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? For the sake of clarity,you can list anything you want ("no limits"); it doesn't matter if you missed it the first time around or if you would want to revisit a great show that you did attend.I'm not surprised by the amount of mentions for the Al... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @cheeg, that is a great story! I saw Santana and Clapton together in the summer of 1977. They took turns being the opening act and the headliner, so they were very competitive. The show ended with both bands on stage together for a 20+ minute jam ... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @Ihasaguy, I caught the Beck - Bogart & Appice tour in 1973. That one was special. | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @laxiotakis, I agree that if I could only pick one music festival to go back in time to see, it would have to be the Monterrey Pop Festival. But, the Atlanta Pop Festival (aka Byron Pop Festival) would be a close second. Either way, you would have... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @Eonsx311, I attended the 5/23/94 Pulse show in Atlanta, which was indeed great. It is one of the far too few DVD's that I have that came from the same tour or the exact show I attended.....but, I also saw Pink Floyd on 6 - 23 - 73 in Detroit on t... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? I have a friend who grew up in Detroit. He's about 10 years older than me, so he has regaled me with stories about some of the concerts that he saw at the legendary Grande Ballroom. I decided to do so research, and here are some of the shows that ... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @artemus_5, I forgot about a couple of good ZZ Top stories:1) At the 2003 SXSW Music Festival, I attended a Yardbirds show at The Austin Music Hall. I sat in the balcony, and a short time later Billy Gibbons sat down beside me. He was accompanied... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @artemus_5, it's funny you mention Crack The Sky. They are an all time favorite of mine. Also, they were the last concert that I saw before the Covid lockdown. I flew to Baltimore to catch an acoustic show that included a 4 piece string section. ... |
