Sitting in Cass Elliots living room when David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash first sang together. With the appropriate accoutrements of the day. Cool

1978 Rush had a few loonies to rub together and decided to record overseas. In a studio in Wales Hemispheres was being created. Their goal was to record that vinyl side in one take. Boy, I would have loved to be a fly on the wall for that attempt. They were not successful by the way.

Woodstock...for the music. Rolling around in the mud with a bunch of greasy hippies, not so much.

Pink Floyd at Pompeii would have been great as well.

Any live early version of Thunderstruck:

My first concert was Chicago as well, in about 1981-82. Don't remember what album they were touring for, but I enjoyed the show.




Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago.

+1 to this. Two of the greatest prog rock albums ever made.

This, plus, speaking of the Fillmore East, I'd like to see Neil Young & Crazy Horse (w/ Danny Whitten) playing there in 1970 doing the 15 min+ version of Cowgirl in the Sand

Anything coming out of Vienna within about a hundred years in either direction would've been amazing to experience. Same with the 7th century buddhist monks chanting at Bamiyan.

Forget the 1960's, I can hear that stuff and actually watch videos of it. There's hours and hours of years of music that's been completely lost to history that nobody has experienced in any capacity in thousands of years. How about the times and places where musical scales and modes we listen to today were invented? Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, India, and China. Can you imagine the music at a Roman triumph at the height of the empire? Or maybe a party in Athens around 435 BC?

Here's the oldest known piece of music in history, from around the first century BC. A Greek tune, found in Turkey, inscribed on a tomb.
