[Time Travel Fantasy] Who would you see? - Black - 08-15-2013
If you could travel back to see one musician perform, who would it be?
Rules:
1) You can only name one
2) You would be your present age, not whatever age you were in that year
3) I'll cover the ticket price if you handle the travel cost
4) Bonus points for what point in that musician's career you'd hit
5) The musician can no longer be living
6) It can not be someone you've ever seen perform live and you are not allowed to mention what legendary dead musicians you've seen.

I think it'd have to be John Lennon at The Cavern.

What if there was a member in a band that is currently still playing but one of the original members died years ago? Is that band still disqualified?
That didn't make the sort of sense I intended but I think you know what I meant.

Beethoven. Premiere of the Ninth Symphony.

Gawd Yes. Or I would listen to E Power Biggs when he did that recording in St. Martin's of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.
Of course ultimately I'd love to listen to the music of the spheres as the universe was created, but that whole Big Bang thing would make it an unsurvivable experience. Quark Gluon Plasma is pretty hot stuff.

I'd probably go with Elvis. If for no other reason than the shear magnitude of the experience.

Wow so many genre's to choose from.....
Just a few.
Rock - Buddy Holly, hands down
Country - Patsy Cline
Jazz - Charley Parker, no question
Big Band - Glenn Miller
Classical - Rachmaninov (although Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Andrés Segovia would be tempting)
from that, if I had to select just one -- it would be Charley Parker, Labor Day, 1948. As a bonus a young Miles Davis was in his group. Although anytime in the mid-late '40's would be great.
