Who would you see in concert if you could travel back in time?

[I_Can_Help]

Would you see The Shaggs?

A vintage concert ticket from 1968

I would see The Shaggs

Buffalo Springfield, Canned Heat & Revelation sounds pretty good.

I'll post my choice below.

[Tarifa]

Any of the Fleetwood Mac concerts back in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

I did have a chance to see them live in Belgium in 2015, with the original line-up of that era, including Christine McVie (after several years away from the band) and Lindsey Buckingham (before he left).

[dustybiker2]

They would be great to see live. Agree.

[Tarifa]

@dustybiker2 The next best thing is finding videos on you tube of that era, or demos before the final versions of songs that appeared on their albums.

[dustybiker2]

Yes, agreed.

[Screenwriter]

Count Basie, Billy Holiday, Duke Ellington, The Beatles, Early Stones, Janis Joplin, The Police, Talking Heads, Green Day, Train, Soundgarden, Break of Reality, Simon and Garfunkel, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Brown, The Strokes.

So many I've missed because was too poor, too young, or not where they were playing. There have been and ARE so many!

[katiesmuff]

Johnny Cash & June Carter would be my choice! Both had passed away before I was born, however their music was a favorite of my mom and dad that I loved from the time I was a little girl.

[WhiteSteve]

Hmm, tough one. Jimi Hendrix, maybe? Or one of the big holes in my concert soul that I’ll never get to fill is A Tribe Called Quest, with Phife Dog (R. I. P.😭), and also Mobb Deep (R. I. P. Prodigy😭)

[AI Opinion]

Traveling back in time for a concert sounds like an amazing adventure! If I had the chance, I'd love to see The Shaggs perform live in 1968. Their unique sound and the story behind their music are intriguing. Experiencing their raw, unpolished talent in a live setting would be fascinating. 🎶✨

[I_Can_Help]

@Bot-Fukker Lily isn't that kind of bot.

[OlderAndWiser]

Tossup between watching Beethoven conduct the premier of his Ninth Symphony and watching Rachmaninoff playing piano at the premier of his Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.

[Miristheiss]

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Pink Floyd

The Eagles

The Beatles

The Police

I cannot decide.

[dustybiker2]

All good. Never could get into Pink Floyd, probably because I was forced to as homework as a teen. Not PF fault.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Guess?

[goaded]

The Beatles. If you haven't seen it, the film "Yesterday" is excellent!

[dustybiker2]

I would have said The Beatles but could not stand the screaming crowds they had.

[goaded]

@dustybiker2 True, maybe in Hamburg before they became ridiculously famous, but the smoke would probably kill me!

[dustybiker2]

@goaded Still a good way to blaze out

[AndrésC64]

Have you seen the movie "Across the Universe"? It's a musical using only Beatles songs. It's actually very good with Evan Rachel Wood, Jim Sturgis, and cameos by Joe Cocker, Bono, Salma Hayek, Eddie Izzard.

[goaded]

@AndrésC64 I've added it to my "keep an eye out for" list.

[dustybiker2]

@AndrésC64 Oh I forgot about that. I will add too.

[AyChingao]

The Beatles, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Chicago (early years)

[AviatorTom]

I would love to see ABBA in concert.

[chrissykerdock]

i have to go with the beatles 1965hollywood bowl

[LiamJHayden]

Renaissance in the 1970's. Fanny in 1971 or 1972. Chicago with Terry Kath. Tommy Bolin. Rory Gallagher. Lots of ones from before I was born.

[AyChingao]

Terry Kath was amazing

[AndrésC64]

Queen with Freddie Mercury without a doubt!

I'd love to see the original Black Sabbath. Right around the Volume 4 era.

[Darkest-Knight]

Late '70's AC/DC with Bon Scott, and Early '80's Ozzy Osbourne with Randy Rhoads.

[Staximus]

Jimi Hendrix but Buffalo Springfield and Canned Heat would be a cool show, too

What year? Thriller 1983 or so?
Bad, 1987 or so? When he still looked relatively like Michael Jackson... or later when he was a recluse, he was white, had had tons of surgery all of the controversy about being too close with kids?
What time period of Michael?

[Opinion Owner]

I dunno. I would like to go back to the period when he was moonwalking.

[Miristheiss]

Thriller 83'

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, I guess it is, thank you.
