 Topic: If you could go back in time?

Any of the early Led Zeppelin appearances around 1969, either small
gigs or preferably the Dutch and French TV appearances at which
Zeppelin performed. I have footage of both appearances and on the
dutch TV show, Zepp was performing to a bunch of bored looking young
dutch kids right in front of them just feet away who probably didn't
think anything special of Zeppelin even though they would turn out to
be the best rock band of all time! Either that or the Madison
Square Garden Zeppelin show that looks like it would have been amazing
to go to after seeing the footage of it. Actually come to think
of it I would really like to have attended THE WALL LIVE IN BERLIN,
because I just saw it on PBS and it looks like it would have been the
most amazing show to see in person, in the front row of course.

I'd go to see Genesis in the early 70s too. 
I would also love to see Gentle Giant. And Jethro Tull in their prime in the 70s.

Seconded, but I'd extend it for 70-75.

I would have liked to see the original Lamb Lies Down show. I saw the
Musical Box in the Netherlands, playing the Lamb, and that was very
nice. But nothing beats a real original.
And I would have liked to see the Zappa + Chester Thompson + George
Duke etc playing inca roads. The best I can get here is the Zappa Plays
Zappa tribute that is due next May in our country. I've got tickets

Oh and it goes without saying that i would have loved to have seen Gnidrolog live at the Mayfield festival in 1972. I'm sure it would have been a really fun and entertaining gig.

Lemme think...
- ANY GG gig, even when they were on their last legs.
- Samla Mammas Manna round about Klossa K.
- Ditto Henry Cow + Wyatt
- Hatfield and the North with Dave on keys
- Yes on their Relayer tour
- Banco at their peak
Oh, and a few 1000 other gigs.

I would have loved to see Frank Zappa play live. Also King Crimson in
their mid-70's period (saw them on "Discipline" tour) and I never got
to see ELP play live. Would have liked to see Pink Floyd doing DSOTM or
Animals.
But most of all, the original Mahavishnu Orchestra with Cobham and Hammer alongside McLaughlin.

It would have been cool to see a Grateful Dead show when Jerry was still alive, and Genesis in their prime.

If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks!

The Who-Tommy
The Who are undoubtedly the greatest live act of all time. They performed with a kind of intensity and energy that no other band can compete with.

I'd go to 1967 and see everything that was cool for the next 38 years.

One of Henry Cow's concerts with Robert Wyatt, the Ayers/Cale/Eno/Nico June 1 1974 bash (with Ollie Halsall on lead guitar), the full 5 piece LTIA line up of King Crimson, the Magma Retrospektiw concerts, Chris Cutler and Fred Frith in Prague, Faust's 1974 UK tour, VDGG circa Godbluff. My first prog gig was Genesis in 1976 - I've always wished I'd been born just a few years earlier so I could have caught my favourite acts at their peak.

I would love to go back to about 1970 and see Pink Floyd perform Atom Heart Mother live, horn section and everything.
I would also like to go back to October 15, 2005, to see the Opeth show I missed...
