Recent thread in the recording forum prompted me to re-watch the Gov't Mule Deepest End DVD. Easily my favorite music DVD of all time. If I could go back and see any live performance, this would be the one. Your pick? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Boulder Suburbia, Colorado | | | I'd have loved to been about 22 years old in the first and second waves of punk rock at CBGBs... 1976 to 1985 or so. For something that I could have seen but didn't... Dinosaur Jr, Jesus Lizard, and Nirvana at The Gothic in 1991. I was 15 and my mom wouldn't let me go. Still bummed to this day because she let me see Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth at Red Rocks a month or so later. I guess the venue mattered more than the bands or something. |

|  | LICENSED TO KILL - any song I play! | | | | | I would hop in the TARDIS and go back to the first gig I played, where my mother came and watched. That would've been about three and a-half decades ago when I was still playing the drums. She saw me later when I switched to bass, but she always preferred me on drums. I would love to sit with her and see her face light-up as she enjoyed the band. She passed away just over two years ago. Holidays are hard, but now she has a front-row seat to all of our jam sessions!

i feel like that'd be more bang for the time machine buck, than seeing a band thats been filmed before and is just really great, and all that. i'd be curious to see how close contemporary period-performances really get.. |

ETA: Mark it as his since there were so many basses on stage that night?

The sad thing is that I had the tickets in my hand, and I passed. I'd seen Hendrix play that summer with the Experience, and I didn't really have the money.

Woodstock (the original)

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2010 Location: Kansas City | | | Beethoven's 9th is a great choice. For me, Saint Saens Symphony #3 in C minor, the Organ Symphony at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. No recording can do a pipe organ justice.
Otherwise the Beatles at Shea Stadium in NYC. A friend of mine got to go see it. Couldn't hear a thing with all the screaming. |

I can't imagine how many tubes it took for Mel Schacher to get through the show, but I'm sure he spared no glass to delivered his signature tone.
