If you could go back in time...

[fluffhead720]

This is often topic of conversation between my friends and I after we hit the bong and I thought I'd open it to everyone.

If you could go back in time and see 3 bands, who would they be?

Mine are:

1) Grateful Dead (early 70s)
2) Bob Marley and The Wailers
3) The Who

[aquadrunk]

*The Velvet Underground (oh god, to have been there!!!)
*The Stones (early 70's)
*Led Zeppelin

Grateful Dead
Zeppelin
Allman Brothers with Duane

[danbird]

1. Pink Floyd (The Wall tour)
2. The Doors (pure insanity in its finest form)
3. Jimi Hendrix
Or maybe just put me at the Monterey Pop Festival in San Fransisco and I'd be happy with that.

The Stones (in their prime) I saw them two years ago and they were unbelievable. I couldn't believe the energy they had so to see them back in the day would have to be amazing!

[JayFromRochester]

1. The Dead at Watkins Glen with the Allmans.

2. Led Zep in London.

3. Phish at Nectar's.

[sinman]

well if Icould go back in time I would deffintly have to see the greatest rock band ever Led Zepplin for one and the Doors for two and i would have to agree on Bob and the Wailers and if i had time Iwould also want to see the dead ;D

[mimimlf]

The Grateful Dead
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Big Brother & the Holding Company

[ka mai]

The Wailers w/ Bob AND Peter Tosh
Jimi w/ Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox
The first great Miles quintet w/ Coltrane

[mimimlf]

I think I'd like to be there for that Miles Davis show on 2/12/64 that's immortalized on My Fuuny Valentine.
That was the first entire album I ever heard by Miles Davis.
It was also when I realized I liked that kind of music.

[paulgermain]

i know i already posted but i thought of three more
the verve
stone roses
nirvana opening for sonic youth

[BonnarooPaul]

hello? The Beatles post Dylan influence definitely...

Led Zepplin also definitely

and just to throw it for a loop, Parliament back in the reeeaal crazy days..

you guys ever hear of the acid test light shows they used to have. my dad was telling me they'd have these big auditoriums with HUGE light shows and everyone came and tabbed and had a great time..there are still light shows today but nowhere near what they had back then. also heard blue oyster cult used to have craaazyy light shows.

[paulgermain]

the beatles did not even tour after the dylan influence. all beatles shows they played for like twentyfive minutes and you could not hear anything but people screaming.

[Kainani]

Mozart (imagine that...) in Venice
Bob Marley in Jamaica
And then...Grateful Dead anywhere; D; D

[BonnarooPaul]

well that sucks paulgermain.. i do remember seeing a show on t.v. where all you could hear was the screaming..

oh brother.

[kozmikbunny]

without question i would have to say being part of Ken Kesey's Acid Tests would be the greatest thing in the world: tape delays of real time sounds, real time light shows controlled byuncontrollabe minds, wires wrapped around everything, colors and textures painted everywhere, and barrels full of Electric Kool-Aid, all that and the very first shows for Jefferson airplane and the Grateful Dead..

[Gibran]

koz,
how awesome would that have been!!!!!!!!!! I lack the words!!!!!

[spacebunny]

beatles, zeppelin, doors... but how are you supposed to narrow it down to THREE?

[thomaroo]

For me i think it has always been

-Led Zeppelin

-The Doors: (anywhere outdoors with a large bon fire to get primative at, but before they completely fell apart ) "An American Prayer" is still one of the most amazing albums I have ever heard in any state of mind.

-Greatful Dawg: just to hear them throw out an "Arabia." Fusion is such a beautiful thing, thanks again Miles.

[DrPsilly]

Talking Heads
Jaco and Herbie
maybe Nick Drake or Dylan in the early 60's
I like the acid trip idea...I think that would have to be my first choice...definitely!

[paulgermain]

great call on nick drake.

also the original mc5 at the democratic national convention.

[tigerlily]

Zeppelin
Grateful Dead
Elvis

[kikosanchez]

I've been there and Inforoo looks the same.
