Re: If You Could Go Back In Time and See ??
Well thats takes some thought....hmm, right off the top this is it
#1...all the bands that came through San Francisco during 1967, actually saw some...remember Janis Joplin slightly, just didnt know it was her until years later, I was 9 at the time...and them hippies, man they were weird (LSD I guess)
#2...The Beatles, my favorite band ever...I'd guess their last tour, whenever that was..I know they played in S,F. in 1965
#3...I want to say Jimi, but seing SRV only once in my lifetime blew me away!!...it was only after hearing him did I hear Albert King, my jaw dropped....I immediately knew where SRV got some of that tone from...the big man I never saw either

Cream - February 1968 - Santa Monica Civic Center......... the bonus being that my "big" cousin was the guitarist in a FOLK trio who opened for them that night (for God's sake, can you imagine a FOLK trio opening for CREAM???) ........I do believe Steppenwolf was part of the lineup too........ Funniest part is..... cousin Jack never even TOLD me about this until just this summer.....I just think it is all too cool for words.......and, to have BEEN there??? Wow.......... THAT sure would have been somethin'............ wow.........

The Beatles, any time, any place (I imagine I would see Angela there, too 
)
I would also like to have seen Joe when he was younger. Now wouldn't that be totally cool

Venue: Ram's Head Tavern in Annapolis Md. Artists: Rory Gallagher, Albert King, and Albert Collins. But, the ultimate fantasy would be to travel back to Joe's sessions with Tom Dowd..I would, no doubt, be a master producer by now! (Remember, fantasy:)) That's the ONE advantage to being old...There are lots I did get to see before they were gone forever. Cathy

"There's a lot of people that are in so much of a hurry to be, I guess, to be famous or that they don't want to take the time to learn to play and do all that.They'd rather just knock it down off a computer and maybe get on a game show and get famous..That's fine if that's what you want to do.

Re: If You Could Go Back In Time and See ??
Very good topic.
The first artist and place that comes to mind, and I've thought about this every time I've been to a show there, is Buddy Holly at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa on Feb. 2, 1959.
