I’ve seen most of the bands I care to see, but I would love to have seen Bad Religion in their prime in the early 90s.

    The earliest I could find was a mesopotamian priestess named enheduanna, so that’s who I would want to see, just the chance to hear music no human since would ever get to hear

    Had an opportunity to see system of a down during one of their last tours with a chance to meet them backstage. But capitalism made me prioritize working that night.

    I dunno, Beatles in either the white album or Sgt pepper era would be amazing.

    Specific performance, the nirvana mtv unplugged might be a better option.

    Then again, there’s a dozen performances at Woodstock that were nuts. Hendrix at that show? Fuck me, that’s a peak music experience.

    I dunno man, this one is hard.

    Fuck! Robert Johnson! Any performance ever. The recordings from back then are not the best possible audio, and you know that man could tear up a room. That’s my final answer.

    I really racked my brains with this one and think mostly it would be to go back and see somebody just prior to becoming big to see the embryo performances at smaller gigs so maybe Early Kraftwerk or even Sparks. Also (and I can’t believe I’m saying this as generally it’s not my genre) Focus as part of the audience for the midnight special.

    I got to see Kraftwerk perform Computerworld live a couple years ago and it was amazing. At this point I’ve seen the majority of my bucket list artists and I feel fortunate for this.

    If I’m thinking time travel maybe an early Daft Punk show in France.

      I got to see them in a club down here, and am so glad. They drove a tiny white van all the way across the country. There were like 30 people at that show.

    2006 The Blood Brothers, easily. The craziest shows I’ve ever been to and I would LOVE my partner to be able to come with me.

    Also, late ‘00s of Montreal. Not big into their recent stuff, but I loved the costumes, cross dressing, and all of their songs from inception to Lousy with Sylvenbriar.

            Ooo I meant which band, but you picked my partner’s favorite song by them! The circle pits were like no other pits I’ve ever been in. I think I’m too old to thrash that hard today, but I’d still love to go again!

              I’m just realizing of Montreal was the other band. Enjoyed listening to them as well in the early 2000s

                Yuussss I love them! I think The Blood Brothers is in my top three bands, though. Such crazy music.

        Full agree! I love their pivot to crazy electronic screens, but I really did love the cosplay era of the mid-2000s a LOT

    Zappa and the Mothers, the lineup of Live in NY (I think 1978.), with Bozzio on drums and Michael Brecker playing sax. Alternatively, I’d really like to hear Django Reinhardt sometime in the 1930s.
