i'd have to say the mid-90's European tour with Satyricon supporting Nemesis Divina, Gorgoroth supporting Antichrist, and Dissection supporting Storm of the Lights Bane. egad.

then again, Type O Negative supporting October Rust and Godflesh supporting Songs of Love and Hate. egad once more.

Venom playing in a church

The show my mom and dad put on in the bedroom. That would be so sweet.

....And when I was there I would high-five my dad then slap him in the nuts.

Mozart

King Crimson in '69.

There's a good number of metal shows that I would have loved to see.
However, if I had a time machine, i'd want to travel further back in time and witness various different things in music -
Beethoven and Bach in their prime, Stravinsky's music causing a riot, jazz in the 40s, many different classic rock and prog bands in the late 60s-70s.. and so on.

yeah!! and Bartok, and Shostakovitch!

and i saw that godflesh tour.. turns out the rev was at the same show at the rat.

haha, I just misread your post and thought you saw a Bartok tour at the Rat.

Woodstock '69
Metallica after Master of Puppets was released, but before Cliff died
any Rage Against the Machine show
Extreme Steel Tour: Pantera, Slayer, Morbid Angel
Converge/Dillinger Escape Plan/Botch tour

My dad saw them in the 60's in London england!!!

I am gonna have to go with Venom @ Hammersmith Odeon

Any G.G. Allin show

Good call.

-l-

any botch show (st mary's gym show).
the last reach the sky show.
the last 10 yard fight show.
ministry at greatwoods (lolla)
ANY of the shows at safe n sound.

I would not to see GG unless I already had the hep.

oh such a nervous nellie

any bad brains or slapshot show back in the day
and sabbath around the time vol 4 came out

i got to see the converge/botch stuff too. Ire was all over those dates.. and so was barrit. I fucking loved barrit, they ruled.

and when Botch toured for WATR, it was mind blowing. At that age, botch, adrenaline, no drugs whatsoever, and i still was flying high as a kite.

me = jealous

I was lucky enough to see their second to last show, which was at Club Crannell in Poughkeepsie. That show was amazing.

Couldnt decide on one show....so heres alot of them:

Metallica with Cliff (and/or Dave)
Pantera on Farbeyonddrivn Tour
Type O Negative on October Rust Tour
Tool with Meshuggah
Rage Against the Machine
Godflesh
Allman Brothers/Lynyrd Skynyrd (with original Members)
Death
Ozzy with Randy
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd (with Syd)
Prayer For Cleansing
The First Opeth show ever
Black Sabbath playing as Earth
Nine Inch Nails (Downward spiral tour with Manson)
Slipknot at the commercial street cafe
Free
Woodstock (69 and 94)
The Beatles
Rolling Stones at the Lucky Dad (my dad saw this and i hate him for it)
Aerosmith at the Hopkington Highschool back in the 60s i believe

...and a whole lot of others

yeah, ya know its really strange, i was going to shows at 14. Two or three a week even, then i hit 21, and stopped going for about 4 years, so that whole time in the middle there, i only went to a couple dozen shows. But, i saw a lot of good ones, and now i am back in action. So i guess i don't get the right to say the "I been in the scene for 15 years" bullshit cause i missed a section. Damnit.

Anyways, let me answer the thread. The show i would go back to see, was one i was at. It was the day after xmas, either 98 or 99, maybe 97. Who knows. It was. (in the order they played, or close to it, i have a good memory)

Force fed glass
Isis
Ire
Peacemeal
Seven Day Curse
Harvest
Dillinger Escape Plan
Barritt
Today is the Day
Converge
Cave In

It was at the "space" IN worchester, otherwise known as the "artist alliance" right off of 122. I miss that place, i saw most of my favorite shows there. ANYONE remember that place... was anyone else at this show?


Drowningman was supposed to show, but simon was sick or someshit.

i got to see reach the sky with ignite and the misfits :P

I so wish I could have seen Nasum. GG is high on the list. Discordance Axis too. Mayhem live in Leipzig or any BM during the early years.

I saw them on that tour. They played in Burlington, VT, and I was barely 16.

I'm pretty sure I saw a pic of the flyer for that show a short while ago. I saw that and was like HOLY SHIT. I think it was in an issue of Decibel in, I think, the Until Your Heart Stops Hall of Fame article....

Any Broken Hope show in support of Loathing.

I keep wanting to say Pink Floyd circa the Wall. I just missed that era.

But I'm old enough to have seen Metallica, Iron Maiden and Judas priest in their primes, so there.

assuck
discordance axis
carcass in their prime
autopsy
celtic frost back in teh day
mercyful fate
...and a shit ton more

Exodus-Pleasures Slayer-Show No Mercy Death Angel- Ultra violence Dark Angel -Darkness Descends Death, Scream or Leprosy...missed that one due to father day!!! Metallica- @ the Living room Hellhammer/Celtic-before Pand. Sacred Reich-ignorance Judas Priest- Screaming or Defenders Ozzy-Blizzard of Oz Possessed-All of them

the emperor/borknagar tour in 99
anthrax touring for among the living
the day of the equinox fest with Agalloch, Green Carnation, and Woods of ypres

-Living Sacrifice with Circle of Dust in 1994, still mad I had to work that night
-Hawkwind at Liverpool Stadium when In Search of Space was recorded, still mad I wasn't born in the 60's

i saw Ministry at Lolla 92, insanely good

i'd see Pink Floyd on the Animals and Wall tours
i'd follow the Grateful Dead from 1970 to 1974
Anal Cunt right before Morbid Florist(92?)
GG Allin in the early 80's
The Ramones anytime, only got to see them twice
Poison Idea around the Pick your King era
Minor Threat
Jim Croce
The Ventures in the mid 60's
Hawkwind in 1973

Deep Purple August 1972 Osaka Japan

The Doors

jimmi hendrex at clark university don't know what year but i know he played there

monsters in moscow

the fucking carcass show.

I saw that, didnt "the year of our lord" and "Disembodied" played that too.

to answer the question, I wish i could have gone to Metallica, Guns N' Roses & Faith No More 1992 tour.
and any show from the first tour from The Haunted

I'd sneak into Pink Floyd @ Pompeii.

That would be awesome.

I agree with a lot of the posts up here. GG, Metallica during Puppets, etc.

Gotta add one though - Any Stevie Ray Vaughan show. Particularly after he got cleaned up. Because he was one of those rare exceptions where stopping drugs didn't fuck up his creativity and talent.

I'm pretty sure Death and Dark Angel toured together at some point, right? That show.

for the win...

I'd like to go back in time to watch the first run of The Honeymooners so I can say something like, "This is a classic" and Wayne from the Wonder Years can look at me and say it's a new episode then I'll tell him I saw it on a rerun and he'll ask, "What's a rerun?"

Then my mom would try to have sex with me.

pantera club era
Rolling stones 60/70's
the beatles
radiohead (clubs)
early 70's sabbath

i was at this show. awesome shit. i saw discordance axis there. i saw buried alive there. morser, good clean fun... so awesome back in the day.

and to add to this list, wish i saw:

Black Sabbath right after Master of Reality came out
Metallica with Dave
Infest after Mankind
Misfits with Glenn before Earth AD
Neil Young anytime before '75
Stooges

Any Zeppelin show in LA around the time of the Hyatt residency, so I could hit the Rainbow after, get punched by Bonham and then fuck that Lori Maddox chick under a table when she was like 15, thus being both a kid-toucher AND indirectly having sex with Jimmy Page.

And then there was that Morbid Angel / At The Gates / Dissection / Fallen Christ show at the Wetlands in '94 or '95.

quoted for brilliance.

death....never seen them...and never will!
exhorder...never seen them..but i might get my chance!

That was in March '96. I was the DJ at that show.

Fuckin A, man. I hate you?

dude!!! your absolutely right! I fucking loved "year of our lord" 's first ep. "Frozen Divide" i think it was called. Ya, i totally forgot that those guys were on that show. I loved the space. That show was SO much fun. I knew there would be people on here that went to that one.

i'd go back and see leadbelly and i wouldn't come back. life back then seemed so much easier. fuck today.

I need to make a fix for your triple posts.

Pantera and White Zombie at the Palladium in I believe 91?
Explosions in the sky at the artspace in glouscter, and/ or at TT's.
HUM at the Middle East, and at a state park in lowell, and for good measure, their "last show".
Godspeed you black emperor/ explosions in the sky in 99

the Year Of Our Lord's first anything was a split 7" with 40 days rain
yeah that place was awesome
I saw so many shows there back in the day. I dated a chick from Worcester so i went there all the time.

Led Zeppelin
Black Flag
Nirvana (why hasn't anyone said this yet?)
Smashing Pumpkins
The Melvins when Joe Preston was in the band
Hum
Ol' Dirty Bastard
thats enough for right now

because not many people like nirvana on this board. I would have loved to have seen Nirvana in Seattle after Bleach was released.

NIRVANA WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL TO SEE. A BUDDY OF MINE MISSED BY A FEW HOURS SEEING PEARL JAM/NIRVANA/RHCP IN LIKE 92.
ALSO BEASTIE BOYS IN LIKE 85/86/87

Aerosmith back in the day....
NOT!

oh man, Nirvana when Godflesh opened for them in 91 for the Streetcleaner tour.

Agree with all

dude i was there ALL THE TIME. it was definately my favorite place to go. I saw 40daysrain there with 7daycurse, Ookla the Mok, as the sun sets, and eternal suffering. I miss those days. Don't get me wrong, i still love going to shows, but i feel like most of the great shows nowadays are in big places with big bands, back then there were so many cutting edge bands that were so good, and played so many local shows. Remeber Die my Will? I saw them at the space once or twice, they were frieking SICK.
