pjbear05 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 OMG, so many places, and a lot of re-visits, but three very sepcial ideas: Frisco in the late 60's-Jefferson Airplane, the Dead, Janis & Big Brother, and Quicksilver Messenger Service with the incomprable John Cippolina. Back home to Detroit and Cobo Hall, "The House that Rock Built"- "Kiss Alive" "Live Bullet" and the triple header I did attend-Golden Earring, Mountain, and J.Geils Band, who recorded parts of the "Blow Your Face Out" album. Back to Cali and Ontario Speedway for the California Jam-Sabbath, Deep Purple, ELP et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driventotheedge Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) I wish I could go back to see the original line up of Lynyrd Skynyrd! I would leave during "Freebird" though. Just kidding.................................... I saw them, October of '76 in Seattle. I've seen in the neighborhood of 200 concerts and it's still one of the 5 best I've ever seen. Absolutely killer live band. My hands hurt for 2 days afterwards from clapping to the music so hard. And you're right, you wouldn't leave during Free Bird, trust me. My time machine requests.....The Beatles in Hamburg in the early 60s, The Beatles on the rooftop of Abbey Road studios in '69, Floyd on the WYWH tour and on the Animals tour and on The Wall "tour" (sadly I did not live anywhere near a city they played on any of those tours), The Doors in like '68 with Jim reasonably sober that night, Rush's first gig with Neil opening for Uriah Heep, Rush on the Hemispheres tour, Sabbath on the Vol. 4 tour (same deal, didn't live in the right city), Queen in the late 70s (had the chance and didn't see them....still kicking myself in the ass for not doing so), The Who on the Who's Next tour with Keith still alive, The Allman Bros. with Duane still alive, Led Zeppelin in like '73 (saw them in '77 but Jimmy was....um...."under the weather" by then....he did make it up to me in '98 by killing it when he was touring with Plant but it still wasn't the full Zeppelin), Spirit in the late 60s (original band), Metallica on the Master tour (Cliff!). More to follow..........(maybe). Edit: Here's 3 more I thought of.....AC/DC with Bon, Cream in like '66 or '67, Traffic in the early 70s.

apetersvt Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 The Grateful Dead for the late Feb/early March Fillmore East 1969 run. The 12/31/78 Winterland show would also be really cool where Bill Graham rode in the giant joint at midnight and then served everyone breakfast as the show ended and the sun was coming up.The Allman Brothers for the March '71 Fillmore East runThe Band Of Gypsys Fillmore East 12/31/69 -> 1/1/70Amazing that the first 3 shows that came to mind were all at Fillmore EastRush - Hemispheres tour or the mythical COS headlining show with tFOL live.Zeppelin - Presence tourFloyd - Animals tourYes - Close To The Edge Tour (Relayer would be really cool too) The above are the shows that I would pay just about anything to go see. Others would include The Who circa '71, The Doors, SRV, Cream, The Stones circa '72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 A friend of mine used to be the bass player in 'Bobby Taylor and the Vancouvers' with Tommy Chong on guitar. They were playing in London in about 65 or 66 and Jimi Hendrix strolls into the club and wanted to jam with the band so Chong goes to hand him his guitar and Jimi says no I wanna play bass.. So my buddy Wes hands him his bass and watched him play it.. It would be so cool to go back and meet Jimi right at the time he was about to explode on the scene!!

I remember hearing that they didnt sound good live and I heard this before third stage even came out but I've never seen them live.. Maybe they weren't all that bad except when compared to their studio stuff which was super clean and crisp.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
