What band/concert you would travel back to see live?

My initial thought would the animals doing house of rising sun in Ed Sullivan or the Beatles in Hamburg

Queen: Live Magic tour, my mum said I was too young to go(10) and promised she'd take me to their next tour! Which of course sadly never happened.
The Doors: not sure where maybe an early gig at the Whisky
I've seen everyone else I would like to have seen, although a Who gig with Moon would've been special compared to Zak

The 67 Monterey Pop festival would've been pretty special. That line up? Just wow.

Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness.

Hendrix.


I spent most of my teenage years in Lincolnshire and had never heard of this. What a day that must have been!

You could probably fill Manchester Arena with the number of people who said they were there.

Eighteen months ago I met someone who was there (on the back of me passing through Spalding on the way to FolkEast and seeing a blue plaque saying that Hendrix stayed in a hotel there) and she said that the floor of the venue was like a pigsty.

Anyway, to Keno's question. I think The Beatles at The Cavern must have been very exciting. And to keep the excitement up I would go to the cloakroom at the end and say 'I left a leather jacket but I've lost my ticket. I'll know it when I see it.' Cilla would say 'Step inside, luv...'

Lucky enough to have seen Prince twice, although both times a little later than that (but still 80's ) at Wembley Arena; first gig was fantastic, second one was a little flat for some reason.

If I had a time machine, this would be my concert - lucky to have a great film of it!



On my 30th birthday, my then girlfriend gave me 2 Prince tickets for Wembley Stadium. We had a bust up that night, never saw her or spoke to her again but I kept the tickets. The concert was cancelled - I heard it was because Prince threw a hissy fit at the poor ticket sales. As the tickets had been bought by someone else, I had quite a job recovering the refund but I'm sure you will all be pleased to hear that I managed it!

For me it would have to be the Ramones at CBGBs before they became well-known.

But I can still experience it second hand by looking at footage on You Tube from 1974.

Another would be the Ramones at the Roundhouse in July 1976, of which it was said that everyone who was there started a band.

Pulp 1995 Glastonbury a single perfect moment culturally and personally which I’d gladly repeat.


OMG!.

Yep. I was there down the front. It was amazing as we both remember. Rolling Stone magazine had it in their top (whatever) of gigs of all time.

It never got better than that for me. But yeah. When Common People went, it all went off.

I came across this poor quality audio recording of the concert.



And here's Joe Strummer, Captain Sensible and Joey Ramone talking about it.

My mum and dad went to Isle of Wight 1970 - saw Jethro Tull, The Doors and The Who.

They'd also been to - Cream at The Marquee 1968, Fleetwood Mac 1977, King Crimson at Hyde Park 1969, Stranglers at The Hope and Anchor 1977, The Rolling Stones 1967 and The Faces 1973.

I'd have liked to have seen any of them....

I saw Lizzy at the New Theatre, Oxford, in 1977 & it's probably the best live gig I've seen.

by all accounts, the sound quality at festivals in those days was absolutely dire, but I suppose then live performances generally were more erratic & it was more about the vibe of being there.
