If you could go back in time to any one particular concert, which one would it be, and why? It could be one that you've already seen - but preferably one you missed because it was before your time, or you couldn't afford it, or didn't know any better at the time, etc.

For myself, I'm tempted to say the Beatles first tour of the U.S., just to experience the hype, but I think all the schoolgirl screaming would ruin it for me. I think maybe I'd opt for seeing Jimi Hendrix at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, before he really started to get an American following. Or maybe even a couple years earlier in Europe, when he was developing a following amongst many of the early British rock stars. One of his first performances on stage was an impromptu jam session with Eric Clapton and Cream. I'd pay top dollar just to see the looks he probably got from the audience who no doubt had never heard anything like it.

Besides those, I would love to see early, pre-fame performances by some of my other favorite artists, like Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, or Neil Young.

Had the opportunity to see one of the very last concerts of "The King", held in my home state of South Dakota just 2 months before he died in Aug 1977. IT was a small venue and would have been a top 10 lifetime experience as far as I am concerned. We were going to drive the 100 miles to see him but for whatever reason didn't go. (probably my jerk X-husband's fault!!) I think seeing Elvis live in concert would have been a great experience even at his worst......

Well, we saw David Byrne live and unplugged in Denver at a smallish venue. Promoted all week as just him and his guitar. Came on stage, sat on a stool and played three numbers. Then the black curtain behind him came down, and here was the band! What a great surprise! We rocked all night.
