[Taverner]

3. Aw man Pete Seeger? In his prime?

That would be AWESOME!

[abq e streeter]

5. My first concert...My mom and aunt took me to see him when I was about 5

(mid -50's blackball era). I thought his name was Pete Singer, because his name was Pete and he was a singer.

[elleng]

9. NEAT! Where were you?

[abq e streeter]

18. Chicago or in a suburb. Again, I was 5 yrs old so don't really remember much

(as opposed to concerts in my 20's where I don't remember anything :hippie: )

[elleng]

19. Gotcha!

B-)

[abq e streeter]

22. I HATE "Gotcha " questions. Next you're gonna ask me what papers I read or how I can see Russia

from New Mexico.:silly:

[Taverner]

15. Wow - speechless...

[Initech]

2. Frank Zappa - 1988 tour

[abq e streeter]

4. E Street Band '75 & '78...Dylan w/The Band '66 &'74...Buddy Holly-Winter Dance Party, '59

also Ramones '77, Bob Marley and The Wailers '76 (?) ...Robert Johnson , '38 (if juke joints are a "tour".)
And would have said The Clash ,any tour, but you'd listed them already...

[dana_b]

30. I almost added Buddy! what's wrong with me?? n/t

[abq e streeter]

32. Maybe because of the awful tragedy of that tour. I almost didn't mention Buddy Holly either

It would have been amazing to have seen that lineup-,him (with a young kid named Waylon Jennings on bass), Dion and The Belmonts , The Bopper, Ritchie Valenzuela, but would also have to be a terribly bittersweet memory. Did you know that Bob Dylan was at the show in Duluth, Minnesota just 2 nights before Buddy's last show at the Surf Ballroom?

[dana_b]

35. wow! No I didn't

that must have been really bittersweet for him. And I agree - that was an incredible line up.

[abq e streeter]

6. Also-Sly and the Family Stone '69, and The Doors; pre - incoherently wasted Morrison performances

Terence Trent D'Arby '87 or '88

8. Chicago was an amazingly complex band back in the day

The day being 1972...

[Systematic Chaos]

10. Gentle Giant on every tour from 1970 to 1980.

Cardiacs, once for each tour they did.
Yes, on their Yes Album, Close to the Edge, Relayer, Tormato, Drama and Talk tours.
Genesis, for Foxtrot, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Trick of the Tail, Duke, and Genesis.

And I'm sure I could list a hundred more.

[Patiod]

11. they played a the bar mitzvah of a boy from my junior high in 1973

Everyone wore t-shirts the following Monday: "Danny Stein's Bar Mitzvah"

So a whole bunch of my junior-hihg fellow students DID see them back then

[Bennyboy]

12. Phish 1993 tour...

They were so nasty then.

[Taverner]

13. Wait - I could see Phish 95, but 93 they were still disciples of Ernie Stires

And I will admit, Stires was amazing, but nothing like they would become when they recorded "Billy Breathes"

[Taverner]

14. WAIT! How about Traffic on either their 69 tour or their 'Welcome to the Canteen' tour????

23. Of the ones you listed, I'd go with Elvis and Led Zep.

Otherwise, I would have given my left testicle to be at Woodstock, rain, mud and all.

[stuntcat]

24. I saw Jane's Addiction! but it was 89 or 90, not their 1988 tour

Out of these listed I'd want the Miles Davis 1968 tour the most :headbang:

(I can't think of who to add!! I'm just here to spam threads :blush: :kick: )

[SecularMotion]

25. Dylan - The Rolling Thunder Revue 1975-76

[blogslut]

26. From that list?

Probably Miles Davis.

From my personal life, I saw the Police in 1982. A year before that, I was given the chance to see both The Stones and Bruce Springsteen. I turned down both opportunities. While I dig The Stones, I don't regret the decision. But the Springsteen show, that's the one I wish I could go back in time and see.

As for the Beatles in 66, I've read too many accounts about how the crowds at their shows were so loud you couldn't hear the band, so I would totally pass on that. Just the same, if I were given the chance to have seen them when they were coming up - that would be something I would absolutely want.

[dana_b]

27. The Who from 1970

Pearl Jam - 1991
Soundgarden - 2011 tour
Bob Marley - 1973??
Alice In Chains - 1992
