What gig would you like to see? Id love to be transported back to London 1966 to the UFO Club and be one of the first people to experience the then underground psychedelic band Pink Floyd with Soft Machine supporting. Then can i be fast forwarded to 1969 when The Doors play Miami and see Jim Morrison expose himself

| I don't like shows. I would prefer going ahead in time in order to hear all the albums which I probably won't have a chance to hear because the coffin is sound proof. |

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... ------------- Arguing on the internet is a lot like the special olympics - even if you win, you're still retarded. |

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. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

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'll see you on the Darkside of the moon... |

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! |

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. Two bands I am grateful to have seen at the time...Yes on GFTO tour, and Led Zeppellin at Knebworth. |

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. ------------- Don't hate me I'm not special like you |

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 ------------- Music Is The Best |

| 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. |
