What concert WOULD you loved to of seen???

[tripp]

I am not a fan of crowds and so I do not attend concerts.

My wife when she was married to her cro-magnon,knuckle dragging,forehead like a drive in movie theatre screen ex-husband, she went to the Van Halen 1984 concert.

That is one I wished I would of seen.

What would you like to go back in time and see??

[schuellk]

For me, it would be the final Pink Floyd concert which was performed during the Millennium New Year at the Great Pyramids in Giza.

[Black Dog]

Just one that I can think of........Woodstock!

[tedski]

I wish I had seen Led Zepplin live. I had tickets to see them in 1980 ... but the tour was cancelled due to the death of John Bonham.

[MadAl]

The Beatles, the Doors, Jimi Hendrix...

[Poni]

zepplin,hendrix,sintra,floyd,

[smokem94]

In retrospect, I would of liked to be at Elvis' concert where he performed with the small group of guys sitting down at the front of the stage.

[Buckwheat]

Van Halen 1984 concert.

I saw them in 1978 (I still have the ticket stub). Second concert I'd ever been to. First was Nugent in '77. I think my ears are still ringing from that one.



There are just soooooo many that I'd like to have seen in their day. Here is the short list (no particular order):



Beatles on the roof of Abbey Road
The Who at Leads
Jimi Hendrix/Otis Redding: Live at Monterey
Creams farewell concert
Blind Faith - UCLA - 1969
Ella Fitzgerald in Berlin - 1960
Live Stiffs @ Leicester University - 1977
The Clash NYC 1979
Elvis - 1969 Comeback concert
Bob Dylan - 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert (not really at the RAH)
Velvet Underground Paris 1993
The Doors - Whiskey-A-Go-Go 1966


Then I guess there are the obvious:
Woodstock
Altamont
Live Aid

Oh well that is all I can think of at the present moment

[twoodruff]

6/10/73 Watkins Glen

Allman's, Grateful Dead, The Band

Largest concert gathering ever. Over 600,000 in attendance

[Buckwheat]

I believe that Rod Stewart holds that record. His December 31st, 1994 concert at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro had an estimated 3.5 million people in attendance.

I'd still rather have seen the Watkins Glen show!!

[allanf]

Judy Garland at Carnagie Hall, April 23. 1961.

I stand corrected, I read it on the internet

[allanf]

My more mainstream likes-Van Halen, in their Prime, The Beatles, anytime..A Who concert...Sure...Dead? Well...not sure...Fleetwood Mac in their Prime...

[Slammer]

I got turned on to Phish late in their career would have loved to see one of their shows. Same with the Dead HAd tickets to see them the summer Jerry died so missed out there.

[C-Dub]

I would have loved to see some of the old-timers in their Vegas shows. I have a Sinatra Live at the Sands CD and it just sounds like he could really put on a show (and not just sing). I have heard a few other live in Vegas shows on CD and they sound like so much more than today's concerts.

[joshua]

Just one that I can think of........Woodstock!

My dad went.

There are bands that have broken up that I wish I could have seen like Man or Astroman that aren't really big but they did all kinds of crazy stuff at their shows and I wish I had gone.

[DocLogic77]

Probably any of the Steve Miller Band concerts.

[ehdg]

I wish I had seen Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble before he died!! DAMN!!

[Texas Cop]

It would be a really close tie between Watkins Glen, and the Floyd show at Giza..


drew

[mitchthephoneman]

1. Woodstock
2. Anything Neil Young
3. Anything Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

[CWS]

Elvis was a regular at Vegas and we always figured we could go see him any time. Never did and I regret it. Saw Frankie tho.

[icehog3]

I saw Van Halen on that 1984 tour...great show. :applause:

Also had tickets for Zep when Bonham died. :crying:

I would have loved to have seen Audioslave in concert in Havana, Cuba on May 6, 2005....smoking a Custom Rolled from an hour earlier! :tonguerol

[caudio51]

Zeppelin, Floy, Hendrix, Woodstock, SRV, Beatles just to name a few.

Being young and enjoying classic rock, there is a ton of stuff I never got to see.

[Len___T]

OzzFest last year when they had Iron Maiden...Judas Priest and Black Sabbath's original lineup...my mother in law was going to but me 2 tickets for my birthday..but by the time my bday rolled around the only ozzfest date was in wisconsin lol...so I have to go to an earlier one in columbus or somewhere around there

[Rank_Tyro]

In 1995 I had tickets to see the Rolling Stones "Voodoo Lounge" concert in Columbia South Carolina.

The tickets cost me almost $500 apiece. Thanks to the USAF, I wasn't allowed to take my two days of leave, wasn't able to get the night off for the concert, and ended up selling both tickets to my friend for $200 bucks.

If someone invents a damn time machine, THAT is where I am going!

[jcgoldner]

It'll be tough to add anything to the great list we have so far but one concert I've seen on video that I'd like to have been at was Paul McCartney in Red Square back in 2003.

[Hal]

Queen. But no closer than 20 rows or so, 'cause Freddie had a bad habit of spitting all over the place when he sang.

Billy Joel in a bar/club.

Most 80's hair metal bands, I've only seen a handful of concerts so it's easier to list those. I saw VH twice in the early 90's. My first concert was REO Speedwagon. Then it was:

1980- Bob Seger/The Rockets/Mitch Ryder, City boy/Foghat
1983ish - Cheap Trick
1990? - VanHalen
1992 - VanHalen
2002 - Peter Frampton - YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!! I had waited 30 years to see him!!!!

Being a musician I would love to have gone to many many concerts in my lifetime but today the ticket prices are outrageous so I refuse to pay it. The local casino gets a LOT of great bands but at $40-50 each I can listen to their CDs.

[UFGators]

For me, it would be the final Pink Floyd concert which was performed during the Millennium New Year at the Great Pyramids in Giza.

Now that would be amazing

[ATCDub]

I would have liked to have seen Little Feat back in the day w/Lowell George in a small venue like the old Bayou in Georgetown. It's amazing how a heroin induced heart attack can screw up a perfectly good band.

[Corona Gigante]

Ian Drury and the Blockheads at the Top Rank in Sheffield, November 21, 1979.

[Terrasco]

Queen. But no closer than 20 rows or so, 'cause Freddie had a bad habit of spitting all over the place when he sang.

I was able to see Cheap Trick some time in the mid eighties.... pretty good. Got to see ZZ Top on the Afterburner tour but I would have loved to have seen them in the '70's. (Was really messed up and can't remember much of the Afterburner show.)

[caudio51]

The U2/Pearl Jam concert that is coming up in Hawaii would be bad ass
