It cannot be their first gig at the off ramp

What moment in concert history would you like to travel back to and be at (or maybe were already at)

For instance, DTE at MSG where the stage was rocking, Jones Beach in 2000 when they did Daughter/It's Ok, The Dubya Mask....

These would probably be my top choices with Slim’s being #1.

I’d also like to be at the Indio shoe incident or having pancakes with Stone and Dave A or being a fly on the wall in the studio on March 27, 2017.

You guys are selfish af. I’d be at Roskilde reminding people there’s no need to push.

The last time I felt childlike awe at seeing the bad live was at MSG in 2010. I’d like to go back to that moment.

I wish I could go back in time to the 98, 00, or 03 tours and see like 15+ shows at $20-35 a pop.

Probably a show witch each drummer. Also, the canadian tour in 05 would be super cool.

98 was my first show. Somehow it always seemed that Pittsburgh would close that particular leg of the tour so they would play an extended time. Iggy Pop opened. Before Iggy got on stage I saw Ed walking around the pavilion taking in the crowd. As a hush came across the crowd later a man walked across the stage with a guitar and shirtless. He said his name was Iggy Pop and proceeded to do a solo version of throw your hands around me

May 10th 1992 Iguana's Bar, Tijuana.

It was a 18+ show... And I was 4 weeks away from turning 13. Pretty sure I looked more like 11.
But the bragging rights would've been worth it.

I thought about this too but that wouldn’t have been enough. You would’ve had to do something so drastic that it resulted in the band not going on stage that night which means you probably got arrested and served time.

They made a book and miniseries about this already.

I'd like to go back to 1982 and see the Fleetwood Mac live show featured on the Mirage album special edition. The energy of that show was wiid.

I would have liked to have been at those Tower Records performances I've been seeing all over my FB feed.
And Red Rocks 95 to see Falling Down in person

I'd choose this. I think it's the best show they ever played. Saw them in California in the preceding week, but the very end of this tour was a real mountaintop moment IMO.
