Re: [Time Travel Fantasy] Who would you see? - BCam - 08-15-2013 Cole Porter - 1933. Re: [Time Travel Fantasy] Who would you see? - Uncle Wig - 08-15-2013 BCam wrote: Good one. Also, Django Reinhart and the Quintet of the Hot Club of France. Re: [Time Travel Fantasy] Who would you see? - PeterB - 08-15-2013 Freddie Mercury, Live Aid at Wembley, 1985. Edit: close seconds would be either John Lennon (as already mentioned), or the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Re: [Time Travel Fantasy] Who would you see? - Racer X - 08-15-2013 I'm with Peter B. Some classic Queen performance. I get goosebumps when I watch that 10th anniversary concert DVD, which was also a tribute to Freddie. Re: [Time Travel Fantasy] Who would you see? - ka jowct - 08-15-2013 The person I would choose is eliminated by one of your rules, since I saw him live a handful of times in the 80s. I'd have gone with some concert of his from the late 50s or early 60s. So I think I'd pick a concert at Carnegie Hall from around 1943, a recording of which I have. Toscanini conducting Wagner, with Lauritz Melchior and Helen Traubel. Even with the limitations of a mono 1943 ish recording, it's an exciting performance, and I'd love to go back in time and hear it properly.

Or else Coltrane and Monk playing together at the Jazz workshop 1964 Re: [Time Travel Fantasy] Who would you see? - A-Polly - 08-15-2013 Mozart! or Beethoven, as Anonymouse1 chose — but definitely someone who was never recorded and has not been heard in living memory. Perhaps Turlough O'Carolan, or some unknown Irish harper. Re: [Time Travel Fantasy] Who would you see? - Lemon Drop - 08-15-2013 I would love to have a seat back in 1740-something when Handel first performed the Messiah, in Dublin. He's not my favorite composer but that particular moment, for that piece, would've been spectacular. Re: [Time Travel Fantasy] Who would you see? - Black - 08-15-2013 The Queen/Wembley concert is a contender, but I'm leaning towards one of the first performances of Beethoven's Eroica symphony (the work that started the Romantic movement.) http://www.beethovenseroica.com/Pg2_hist/history.html I once read that when it debuted the audience demanded that the first movement be repeated before going on, but I'm not finding support for that anywhere.
