I would go back to see ELP playing Pictures At An Exhibition at Newcastle City Hall in March 1971

I was there. The only time I saw ELP. It was good, but not in my top 20 gigs.
 

The excitement though really comes across on the live album. I first hear that album in 1975 and it was so 'visceral' . I think you have to be an ELP fan which obviously I am. I realise that a lot of people who saw them in the seventies were not that impressed.

You can relive the Drama of Trevor Horn of Buggles taking over from Jon Anderson in YES.  


No, I'll set the machine to delete that part lol.
I actually like the Drama album. I thought Trevor Horn did a pretty good job of standing in for Jon Anderson, and he even sounded a bit like him, although I heard Trevor Horn got booed at by the audience during some of the YES concerts in Britain.

I'd like to go back to gigs I went to as a teenager, and see what they look like now to my 60-odd self. I remember being 15 and seeing Stone the Crows and Led Zeppelin at the Empire Pool Wembley in 1971 - about when LedZep 4 came out. John Bonham did a long drum solo and I thought it was boring but everyone esle seemed to be enthusiastic so I went along with it. Wonder how it would sound now?

The way our respective governments want to suppress the working classes, sooner than you'd think. It won't be long before we'll be seeing the return of rickets, child labour and, yep, tricorn hats.
Hmm... I envisioned an enlightened Star Trek thing with guys on a starship stylishly wearing three corner hats, but I think you're right. It'll probably be a distopian thing more like the movie Alien with corporations owning everyone's butt.

Yeah, I'm all in for a trip back to 1972. Or 1973. I'm not picky.

I did, it was sh*t.

Time travel is notoriously problematic for many reasons so to be able to enjoy 1972 again what you have to do is turn back time, like Superman did in Superman 2. Of course that to do that all you have to do is fly around the globe really quickly.
What?

Apart from maybe going back in time to use my knowledge of the past's future to improve my life in some way, I wouldn't use the time machine to simply experience another time. I have little interest in the past, and the future scares me.
 
 
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Since Captain Bob never wrote a script it would have to be based upon this, which wasn't that great tbh:

Hi,

Weird ... I have a lot of "favorites" and all that but me going to spend time with the Amon Duul commune? Not even stoned immaculate! Me going back to watch the girls get frisked at the Rathskeller the same week that a student was shot in Ohio? Me sharing a small apartment with Space Pirate Radio's Guy Guden in its early days? (lots of fun there!).

I saw a lot of "big names" in the arts ... maybe the only thing I wish for is not a time travel, but that people can see and watch how nice and valuable all these folks and arts were at the time, and how so ignored and wasted they are looked at today ... Yehudi Menuhin and Ravi Shankar is one. Tangerine Dream at the Greek Theater with the trees getting lit up by the lasers (picture on the Encore album!!!) would be something worth reliving and enjoying, but I would rather have Edgar Froese having tea and crumpets with us, than have to live a memory lane stuff that is ... very depressing for me.

I would like to see one last thing ... more respect from the commercial side of things for the rest of the arts ... all of them are suffering horribly in America, and have been a laughing stock since a couple of presidents some 40 years ago started removing as much money from the arts as they could ... the reason why? Almost all of the arts were handled by "liberal" folks and used on a couple of networks well known for trashing some really big _________ (use your own!) folks ... 

Sometimes I think that too few people (other than this thread ... wow ... thanks everyone) have as much appreciation for rock music as they do classical and more importantly, the history of music and the arts ... not the hysterectomy and killing of the frog in our own hearts!
