Led Zeppelin 1975.
I wouldn’t party too much before the show and pass out In the concourse at the Assembly Center before the concert.

I'd like to go back and see Lucinda Williams fresh off the release of Car Wheels on a Gravel Road at Antone's in Austin back in '98.. She had a bad arse backing band with Bo Ramsey and Kenny Vaughan on guitars...

Saw the show with JW...

August 24, 1964 - The Beatles @ Red Rocks

Because it's the first tour and because I've never been to Red Rocks (for a concert).

Probably Led Zeppelin at Royal Albert Hall in 1970. They were still young and fresh and on the ascent

Foo Fighters at the HOB Nola pop up show. I think there was 500 people there. They played for 3+ hours that night

I don't know why my choice would be what it is, but I would want to see John Bonham's very last concert with the band on July 7, 1980. I've heard the soundboard audio of it and it's not a great performance, but I'd still like to see Bonham for the final time.

I wasn't there for this concert, it's something I have to think the people that were there saw a piece of history.

May 8, 1977

I was offered free backstage passes to Soldier Field July 8-9, 1995. Good friend's dad worked for Aggreko and GD management needed generators for the 95 tour. He was given 3 passes for helping out the band. He gave them to my friend as all I had to do was make a road trip from Laffy to Chicago. Had just started a new job after July 4th and couldn't take off due to training. Even though I saw Jerry a bunch of times, I still think about that missed opportunity. Who would have known Jerry would pass 30 days later.

edit: I too misread the OP's thread question.

That's an easy one for me. Friend from HS was a concert promoter and booked Gregg Allman & Stevie Ray Vaughn at The Audubon Zoo in 1987. He asked me to check coolers which could not be brought into the Zoo. People were told to leave their coolers by the front entrance. I proceeded to consume any and all beverages available since they were FREE. Probably ate mushrooms and smoked lots of weed prior to the show. Needless to say, I don't remember the concert nor SRV shredding that night.

Oops, I misread the title. The show I would like to see again would either be Van Halen in 1982 or Page and Plant in 1998 I think it was.

ZZ Top in 1980 was right up there for me to, especially because it was the first concert I attended

Tough choice but I will go with Van Halen in Biloxi on 1-28-84. It was an amazing atmosphere with a great setlist. This was the only time I saw the original VH lineup live so I would definitely want to do it again.

Little Feat in 1975 with Bonnie Raitt as the headliner.

My girlfriend at the time was a huge Bonnie fan, so off we go. Little Feat opened and then they were Bonnie’s backing band.

Really wasn’t that familiar with Little Feat at the time. They blew me away. I wish I could go back to that show knowing them like I do now.
