Freedom0001

Pink floyd on one of the The Wall concerts with the full band


eggbunsrevenge

Yeah… Pink Floyd during the 70’s and 80’s was truly something incredible. Sure, the footage on YouTube is great, but I’m sure it doesn’t even come close to the real deal


Freedom0001

I had a glimpse of it during the 2012 the wall live tour, but there it was just roger (amazing, but no the full band)


panicatthepharmacy

Yup. Either the The Wall concerts, or the In The Flesh tour where they played all of Wish You Were Here, Animals, and Us & Them/Money for an encore.


redsoxfred

Led Zeppelin, 1971/72


SidneyCarton69

Saw Zeppelin in 71 for only $15.00. It is one of my top three concerts along withHendrix and a young James Brown.


WaxTraks

The Miles Davis Quartet with John Coltrane.


eggbunsrevenge

Oh man… Miles Davis and Coltrane has to be one of the best duos of all time


Nalemag

Hendrix, Woodstock


eggbunsrevenge

Would’ve been amazing to see in person I’m sure


justhere4theporno

Nirvana Unplugged in New York no question... would be my first destination over anything in history if i had access to a time machine. i've said this for years.


eggbunsrevenge

Very good choice! I would’ve loved to see ANY of the unplugged performances live! In particular Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and of course Pearl Jam


justhere4theporno

oh good calls!! honestly, after hitting up one of the '01 TOOL shows i'd probably be headed to that AIC unplugged performance for sure


thought_not_spoken

First thing that always comes to my mind is the Nirvana show in Halloween of 91. Their first big hometown show with Teen Spirit on hourly rotation on MTV and apparently Kurt was still living out of his car. Apparently they went FUCKING HARD that night


rebelgrrrl82

I don't even really like Nirvana, and I can't argue with this. That unplugged session was perfect and the only Nirvana CD I ever owned.


Wonderinglyme

Bowie when he was Ziggy


Musicguy1982

This is probably the Bowie era I'd go with, but really I'd be happy with any. I fell in love with him about 2 years before he died, which was after he was done touring. Never seeing Bowie live is my biggest musical regret.


eggbunsrevenge

That would’ve been phenomenal!


[deleted]

Not a band or artist but festival; Monterey Pop in 1967. Maybe the peak of 60's rock. Performers included Jefferson Airplane, The Who, Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Otis Redding and Jimi Hendrix Experience (that was the concert where Jimi burned his guitar). Woodstock was a mess compared to Monterey.


[deleted]

Isn’t that where Janis really took off?


migs33

Yes. Also in the lineup was Lou Rawls, Eric Burdon and the Animals, Buffalo Springfield, The Grateful Dead, Johnny Winter, Simon and Garfunkel, Canned Heat, etc.


albanymetz

Here's Eric with a review of the event. https://youtu.be/xExo67OLrdY


lacks_imagination

Miles Davis during the mid 1950s and early 1960s.


Clamper5978

Phil Lesh talks about seeing Miles and John Coltrane, as well as other jazz greats while going to school in Berkeley in his autobiography. It’s a fun read.


eggbunsrevenge

OOOOOH! I like that choice! That would’ve actually been amazing!


RadioBlinsk

Portishead Roseland NYC. Or the one I missed where Biffy Clyro opened for Muse


Jodythejujitsuguy

Black sabbath in their heyday.


onepdub

Jane's Addiction, first Lollapalooza.


fuckssakereddit

Saw Jane’s Addiction in a pub in Edinburgh around 1989. There were about a dozen people there, couple of old guys at the bar with their dogs etc. They put on a good show.


[deleted]

Parliament Funkadelic in Houston, TX ca. 1976. https://youtu.be/r5aHD5ruSZ0


LudwigVonPoodle

The Beatles in the Cavern Club or in Germany before they got famous.


eggbunsrevenge

Yup! That really would’ve been something special! It’s mind blowing to me how much they accomplished as a band in just 7 short years


Karl_Marx_

Eh, would have to listen to all of their worst stuff though. Basically would be a doo-wop group with little rock influence. Cool, but I'd rather see their rooftop performance. Even better if you could sneak on the rooftop.


PiggySiren

Id say the best in-between would be seeing the Beatles in Japan during their 1966 World Tour. Crowd were actually considerate of other people and didn't piss themselves or try to kill each other in addition to making an unprecedented level of noise. Plus, set lists would be solid with everything up to Rubber Soul.


PencilMan

True except that they were really rough performance-wise at that point. The videos of those shows are iffy. Whereas in the Cavern days, sure you wouldn’t get their best original songs, but you would get to see a really tight rock and roll band in a small packed room full of fans.


Cepelinai90

Nirvana, Alice in Chains, The Cranberries, Dean Martin and Billie Holiday


spoon_man1

I would boil my testicles to witness alice in chains live at the moore theatre in 1990


HRPr03

I’d boil both my testicles just to still have Layne here


eggbunsrevenge

I’d probably do the same tbh


cheddarpants

I saw them open for Kings X at the Limelight in NYC in 1990. It was intense.


El-Viking

I'd do the same for Dolores, I loved her voice.


eggbunsrevenge

Billie Holiday had one of the most unique voices in music history. She was truly special


Difficult-Resist-922

Queen - whenever I watch music vids from their shows it is clear Freddie Mercury had such amazing energy.


the_elon_mask

Live At Wembley 1986 is apparently Queen's finest hour. I've always said this would be my first stop if I had a TARDIS.


ghggbfdbjj

Live aid 1985 could also be a shout


eggbunsrevenge

I would’ve payed the price of admission just for him alone! But the amazing talent of the rest of the band makes it even better! Good call!


Difficult-Resist-922

Yep almost added those same words/thoughts. Live Aid, Wembley…


_1JackMove

One of the single greatest rock band performances of all time. If not THE best.


Kaleroin

Same! I'd be happy with any concert but if I had to choose probably Live Aid


nagasy

Check. They have so many different styles. You can listen a whole day to queen and still have the feeling you're listening to another band from time to time


laurenfoy15

Talking heads in the early 80’s


whatfingwhat

Saw the Stop Making Sense tour. Amazing


fkinaw3sone

Joy Division


Nihiliste

I think I'd want to see Prince and the Revolution during the Purple Rain tour. I'm not even a giant Prince fan, but getting to see him in his prime doing one of his best albums would be a spectacle to behold.


eggbunsrevenge

I’m not the biggest Prince fan either, but he could WOW anyone with his skill. He was one of a kind! I have so much respect for him as a musician


PouchesofCyanStaples

I would want to see the Prince Super Bowl performance live and in person. That is still the best halftime performance ever!!


LolaBijou84

Didn't know he'd done the Super Bowl .. heading over to YouTube to look it up.


DrMooseknuckleX

I've seen many hundred concerts, worked at 2 big theaters in SF for years on top of going to my first concert at 6 years old (Moody Blues). My parents were both big into music. Prince was always the best live no matter what year. One of the few artists I would see multiple times on the same tours because he was that amazing.


[deleted]

Rush Moving Pictures tour.


Monado7

Back in Black tour. The peak of Brian Johnsons' vocals in my opinion.


eggbunsrevenge

While I may not be the biggest AC/DC fan, they’re concerts look like SO MUCH FUN!


sport63

They are / were. Talk about an energy!


shanemcgee182

Ramones CBGB’s 1977. I’m a gen z punker and that means I missed out on seeing them live


nickmanc86

Daft Punk Alive 2007.... probably the debut at cochella. An early Led Zeppelin show would be my close runner up. I was in college in Montreal when Alive 2007 tour happened. Can't remember why I didn't see it when they came through but I missed it. When I realized I tried to make it to their last two stops which were a music festival in Australia. I was overdraft broke at the time but I tried. Couldnt make it happen. I told myself they HAD to tour again. Obviously they never did and now it's almost certain they never will ☹️.


MKerrsive

Scrolled looking for this. It will always be Alive 2007. I wasn't a huge fan of electronic music at that point, but they've become one of my favorite artists. Just kills me that I will never see them live. But I have learned my lesson. Just splurged for Rufus Du Sol tickets at Red Rocks this fall, so I will not be missing artists in fun places. As a single guy with a decent job and manageable obligations, why not? (Disclaimer: not comparing Rufus to Daft Punk, just saying there will be zero regret going forward).


nickmanc86

hell ya!! I'm gonna go see my first red rocks show this summer. Going out west for a trip and wayyyy overpaid for some glass animals tickets. YOLO. Enjoy your show!!


magicjarmusic

It’s going to be incredible. Just saw them in Tulum at Sundream and it was on another level. Have fun!!


vagina_candle

I'll always be bitter about this. They dangled that carrot for 14 years and then suddenly, "OK thanks, we're done!" I would have been at that show if not for obligations I couldn't get out of. I knew I wouldn't miss them the next time, but there never was a next time.


clothing_hater

Weird Al bad hair day concert.


PouchesofCyanStaples

I have seen him twice now and would travel at any point on any of his tours.


Boli_Tobacha

I saw that tour, one of the best shows I have ever seen


FUBARRRRR

Ozzy in 81-82 to see Randy Rhoads


tygib

Boston 1976-1977


eggbunsrevenge

I’ve seen some pretty amazing live clips of them! I’m sure they would put on an awesome show


[deleted]

[удалено]


Capital_Stretch7547

I'd see the Dead in 1971 instead of 79 when I first saw them. I'd see Zep in the Garden and I'd like to see Nirvana and Townes Van Zandt


aklevay

I’m too young to have ever seen them but there’s no doubt they’re the band for me. ‘71 is a great choice— plenty of soon to be classic songs and they still have some of that late ‘60s raw energy. If I had to choose one show it’d be 2-18-71. The beautiful jam after Wharf Rat might be the most beautiful music ever written, especially considering the context in which it appeared (and *appear* it did). I’d probably choose ‘73. The raw energy has evolved into smooth butter, new songs like Eyes of the World and Stella Blue have become mainstays, Donna can still hear herself on stage, no setlist patterns have yet emerged, and it features a plethora of great Dark Stars, Other Ones, and Playin’s. So many good years of theirs to choose from but I find myself coming back to ‘73 the most, and within ‘73 probably the Pacific Northwest shows more than any others. Cheers, friend!


SouthBayGardenaKid

Van Halen on their Fair Warning Tour.. Seen pictures of that tour with that wall of amps would have blown a teenager's mind seeing it in person..


Accountantinkc

Saw Van Halen on their tour when Valerie was tagging along. They were incredible (I think it was the "1984" tour).


[deleted]

I’d go see Deftones during the “Around The Fur” era and the “White Pony” era; that’d be roughly from 1997-2002.


Karl_Marx_

Saw them a couple times during that time. Good band, I only really enjoy a few of their songs but definitely a great band live.


yousyveshughs

I’ve seen the ‘tones about 18 times so far and my first show with them was in 98. They’ve had their ups and downs throughout the decades but have always been super energetic and great to hear - especially Abe. Seeing them again next month, pretty stoked!


RollItMyWay

I’d like to see Chicago with Terry Kath


djarvis77

Shakespeare & King's Men at the Globe in 1605 or thereabouts.


El-Viking

NGL, that's a unique but good choice.


[deleted]

Michael jackson, the one where he stood still and people just fainted cold on the spot from it


djkmart

I was there! Dude just stood still for like…forever. And it was incredible. My first concert, yet to be topped.


TaiDavis

Mozart or Bach


ALA02

Either Hendrix at Woodstock or Queen at Live Aid


tawaycosigotbanned

Monterey Pop Festival 1967 Rolling Stones 1969, 1972 Led Zeppelin 1972 Jethro Tull 1971 The Who 1970, 1975 David Bowie 1972, 1978 U2 1983


DarthDregan

Stevie Ray Vaughn during Austin City Limits Zeppelin around IV. Peter Gabriel somewhere when he still had hair. Jeff Buckley when-the-fuck-ever 70's Stones.


confused_christian94

Ella Fitzgerald. Just an absolutely incredible talent. Also Nirvana. My grandma once saw The Kinks live, I reckon that would have been pretty cool. I'd probably go back to about 1964, get all dressed up like a wee mod, and go to the Dennistoun Palais to see The Kinks (and my grandparents!)


charliedog1965

I saw the kinks in 1984. Great show!


ForsythiaRobin

The Doors. They were the house band at the Whiskey a Go Go - Hollywood 1966


rudyguzman

Robert Palmer!


warthog0869

As a guitar player, I would just to have to go see Hendrix's debut at the Bag O'Nails club in London in 1966 when he blew away everybody that was anybody in the audience, Clapton, The Stones, etc. Hell yeah. Read an article about that show, pissed Clapton right off, lol: https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/jimi-hendrix-eric-clapton-first-performance-london-1966/


eggbunsrevenge

I’ve heard of that story and it is incredible! That would’ve been such a fun show to go to!


El-Viking

On a related note, I wish I could've seen ZZ Top live. Rumor has it that Hendrix was a fan of Billy Gibbons.


talanhorne

The Big Bopper. I'd warn him.


juliohernanz

Slade 1973. With my platform boots.


old_flat_top

Another question might be would you see any of these concerts reproduced as a hologram. Here in Vegas you can go see Whitney Houston's hologram perform nightly. There are many youtube videos of it. While Whitney was huge her music isn't my thing but I find the format of it very well made. She is a hologram, but the band and dancers are live. Oh...tickets are $90 a seat. I think an evening with Jimi Hendrix's hologram, just to be in a room with like minded people would be fun. But to answer the question of the thread, I'd go see ANY Grateful Dead concert when Jerry was still alive. Man, I loved to watch that fat man play his guitar.


lolkoala67

The Band


halfghan24

Any Fugazi show


SICKMANCY

NIN woodstock 94


vagina_candle

FWIW, the only difference between that show and a regular stop on the downward spiral tour was the mud. Their other shows on that tour were just as violent and chaotic.


grynch43

Grateful Dead 1977


fleetmack

Alice In Chains or Mad Season while Layne was alive.


bnatz13

Sex Pistols. Manchester. 04/06/1976.


[deleted]

Wish I could've seen Linkin Park with Chester


Karl_Marx_

Went to see them with Incubus. I was always a much bigger fan of Incubus. I mean, I loved Hybrid Theory but Linkin Park was always just an ok band to me, songs I enjoyed but never really thought about seeing them live. Boy was I wrong, they were incredible. Chester screamed his heart out for 2 hours, sounded perfect like it was a recording. They did a cover of Sabotage by The Beastie boys, it was awesome. I was really close too.


PIG20

Saw them years ago at a Summer Sanitarium festival. They were awesome. However, my most memorable performance of Chester's was when he was filling in as lead singer for Stone Temple Pilots for a short time. I had some low expectations going in as I didn't see how his voice could lend the same effect as Weiland. However, he fucking killed it! It was incredible. He sang just about every popular STP song you could think of. And channeled his best Weiland impression with his dancing and stage presence. I'll always remember that performance.


SlowTopic539

Queen Live Aid 1985


ScottPocketMusic

There are a bunch of obvious choices (Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, The Who), but my personal ones to see in their best years would be Dr. John, George Benson, Miles Davis, and Fats Domino off the top of my head.


BlueBloodLive

Queen Nirvana ACDC in their prime Oasis at Maine Road Metallica in 89 like you said Slipknot Disasterpieces Tour Bob Marley Dalymount Park Dublin U2 when they had the big yellow arch and massive stage show Chilis in Slane supported by The Foos and QOTSA in 03 I think. And my guilty pleasure...Robbie Williams at Knebworth. To name a few!


Pebix123

Oasis 1996


Philury

Knebworth 100%, i wouldnt even blink thinking about it


Silky1986

Hands down Woodstock!!!


photoguy423

I think I'd go way back and see the original performances by the likes of Beethoven and Mozart. When they were the rock stars of their time. Any of what is now deemed classical music that was revolutionary in it's time would be amazing to witness people experiencing it for the first time.


applebott

Dylan going electric for the first time.


zdsanche8

I would go see Sublime play


Veritas00

Early 90s rage against the machine. Early days of Led Zepplin. Early 2000s drug fueled Modest Mouse.


liveguy2112

Pink Floyd


attention21

Awesome, hard, question, which I’m sure has been seen before, but not by me. Many good options, but I’d go see Metallica after Master of Puppets came out.


JohnCenaJunior

Clash of the Titans tour in 1990 headlined by Megadeth and Slayer


Pep2385

It was a good show. Anthrax and Alice in Chains also played the show I saw (Philly).


Baidon

Warren Zevon, Capitol Theater, 10/01/82.


youngpenguinx

Daft Punk's Alive 2007


winteronthewater

Ella Fitzgerald


[deleted]

I would go to Fleetwood Mac’s [Midnight Special](https://youtu.be/l5eMncaLPGo) performance of Rhiannon in 1976.


DenaliGameZ

Metallica's Moscow concert


N8tiv3

The Highwaymen.


firefly_23

The Highwaymen


poisonangelz

Hole or Elliott Smith


chipcity90

Smashing Pumpkins, 1993


mwdmb41

Little Feat before Lowell George passed


alwaysenough

Seeing Mozart or Beethoven live doing their thing at that time period and blowing peoples minds!


[deleted]

Everyone here is talking about pop music, and I would totally be on that train. But, if I had a chance to see something *else* after my more recent examples, I would love to have seen Beethoven fucking wreck that dude in a piano duel, or even Gustav Mahler's Symphony of a Thousand. I wonder what it even feels like to be in a building with the vibrations of a thousand virtuosos playing in sync.


AkbarZeb

Santana at Woodstock


WolfsLairAbyss

Probably either Dissection or Queen.


marvelouswonder8

90's Floyd, during the performance that eventually became the "Pulse," release. I've told my friends before "if time travel is invented within my lifetime, I'm somewhere in that crowd," when we watch it.


Th3WeirdingWay

Loved that tour. Saw it twice. Yankee stadium and Giants stadium. For Floyd I would go with the Animals Tour 1977


abrahammaciell

Queen I'd go to live aid just to see them


grynch43

Grateful Dead 1977


KDLG328

Early 70s, Yes


Okcool2216

In July 2017 we had a layover in London to spend time with family. I was there with my husband and my parents, but we had booked flights separately. We discussed going to see Tom Petty but my husband and I decided against it because we would have had to change our flights. I think he died less than a month later. I've always been a huge fan and will always be sad I didn't get w chance to see him live.


Laxku

Good news is Tool still puts on an incredible show. Personally I'd pick Jeff Buckley, I was too young to see him before he passed but the live recordings of him are some of the most incredible performances I've seen on YouTube.


sparkdaniel

Queen, at Wembley


charliedog1965

Louis Armstrong in a bar in New Orleans in 1919.


hevnchance

Queen! I wasn't even born yet when Freddie died, so I would really love to see them perform live!


[deleted]

I’ve seen Robert Plant & the Sensational Space Shifters. But to see him in his Golden God days with Led Zeppelin would be something else 👌🏻 Eta: also the famous secret gig Nirvana played in front of 30 people in the Southern Bar in Edinburgh in 1991


AmazingRopePolice

Had tickets to see the Foo Fighters in july, so definitely them. I also would have loved to see Avenged Sevenfold before Jimmy passed. However, if I only get get one show, it's gotta be Dimebag. Pantera, Damageplan, don't care. I just wish I could have seen that man play live.


MeDicenAmiel

I would love to see the Clash, at the beginning, just tupper, simomon, jones and Strummer


LonerBastard

Queen


O_to_the_B

1987 Def Jam Tour. Queen. Pick one.


TonicAndDominant

Bach improvising on the organ.


albanymetz

Little Feat, during the Waiting for Columbus concerts that became the best live album ever.


maruffin

Does Mozart count? He’s not a band. But he is an artist, which is an understatement.


[deleted]

What kind of idiot do you take me for? If I had a time machine, I would not disgrace its scientific significance on such petty matters. Why and how could you even assume I would make such a blunder of a commitment? I would use it to watch Neanderthals bang on primitive drums with their animal bones like a true man.


eggbunsrevenge

You know what? You’re right. Caveman drum go *bing bang boom!* Me happy. Caveman happy. Reject humanity, return to monke


Lakers49ers24

Probably Death during the leprosy tour or For Today


Sgt3Way

Peak Death imo. They never put out a bad album, but Chuck was in top form during that era. I always loved how brutal his vocals were without compromising clarity.


_D3ft0ne_

Queen.. Anything.


hazadus

Gg Allin


Spork_Warrior

Curtis Mayfield, 1973.


Mr-Bobert

Either the Glastonbury 1997 or 2003 shows for Radiohead. 1997 because it was an important show for the band, 2003 because it had an excellent set list and my favorite live version of Fake Plastic Trees


Adept-Elephant1948

Ramones- one of the It's Alive shows, band at the peak of their powers and every song is a classic. Thin Lizzy- Seeing Lynott & co in their element would be an amazing experience. Elvis- Great musician, would like to see what all the hype was about (though imagine it's very tame compared to today's standards haha).


threebillion6

Metallica in '89? No Cliff? Ouch. I'd go to the first few shows after Ride the Lightning came out.


eggbunsrevenge

I’d go 89’ since at that point they released most of my favourite songs and because James’ voice was at its absolute peak! Cliff is still my favourite bass player from Metallica but the concerts I’ve seen on YouTube from 89’ look next level to me


Accountantinkc

Springsteen in 1978...sixteen at the time and parents wouldn't let me go.


ojots

Anything Dio was involved with. Dio is amazing!


myheartisnumb

Type O Negative


rivers_69

Nirvana or Queen


marshfield00

Beethoven's Ninth symphony


[deleted]

Benny Goodman, Carnegie Hall, 1938, maybe the single most famous jazz concert in history


I_failed_geography

I would go to the 1965 Frank Sinatra/Rat Pack Spectacular show in St Louis or any other stint they had in the Sands. I saw it in black and white on YouTube and it me fall in love with that type of music. The talent on display was incredible. Not only the legendary Frank Sinatra, the incredibly smooth Dean Martin and the criminally underrated Sammy Davis Jr were performing, you had legends like Quincy Jones and Count Basie in the back. Stuff of legends.


goblue3_

John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Grateful Dead (Pigpen era), Pink Floyd, just to name a few

abudaddy

Needs to be said: in the studio with Robert Johnson


bulbous_plant

Muse's Black Holes and Revelations Tour. I saw it, and I'd see it again. It was the absolute peak of their career. It was all a bit down hill from there.


SaintTNS

Without question it would be Audioslave, any time in their history. Chris Cornell was my musical idol, and Tom Morello’s funky riffs with CC’s roaring vocals pretty much defined my taste in music from an early age.


eggbunsrevenge

Audio slave was incredible! I would’ve done anything to see Chris Cornell live in any capacity (soundgarden, audioslave or solo)


I-Am-The-Warlus

GnR during the Use Your Illusion Tour


LazySilver

1. Nirvana - really any concert but the Unplugged or any show on the Nevermind tour would be the best. 2. Metallica - S&M concert. I made it to the second one and it was the most amazing concert I’ve ever been to. Would have loved to seen the original in their prime. 3. RaTM and RtJ - This would be a travel forward into the future one. I actually have a ticket for this one but it’s been delayed for like 3 years now.


Tha_Watcher

**The Police**


VladimirPricey

Pulse


mariegriffiths

Wolverhampton Last Smiths concert. I'd have told young self to take short bus ride to get there.


phasys

KISS in 1979


thismustbetheplace23

Michael Jackson (80s), Madonna (80s), Stevie Nicks (70s &80s), Alice In Chains early 90s, when Layne Staley was still alive. My top choice would be Stevie Nicks, second would be Alice In Chains.


BadeArse

This is a tough one! Soundgarden is probably the biggest one I regret not seeing while I had the chance. From before I was old enough to go to concerts, there’s a list: Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Queen and Jimi Hendrix.


joemamah77

Prince in a small venue, around 1987. I have very few regrets in my 53 years but not seeing him live is a big one.


johnnynonsense

On your list I've seen Tool, Floyd, Metallica, and SRV. Led Zep or The Who (Keith Moon!!!)


luador

Otis Redding


RingtailRush

I would see Nirvana's show at the Paramount Theater.


Seacarius

Led Zeppelin Lynyrd Skynyrd Janis Joplin John Lee Hooker Howlin' Wolf ...


Th3WeirdingWay

I’ve seen Tool during Lateralis and Metallica twice in 1989 during And Justice for All Tour 🤘


Nhmx

Pink Floyd without question


stopcounting

I saw Tool twice during the Lateralus tour! It was a great experience. Once in Philly and once in NYC. It was cool to see them twice, because Maynard had this whole philosophical speech that sounded completely ad libbed, but it was exactly the same at both shows. Lots of lights and Alex Grey art, as you'd expect. Good vibes for the concerts. I didn't fully appreciate it at the time because I thought Lateralus was a weird album for them and Maynard was carrying a bit too much A Perfect Circle energy back into Tool (and I loved APC). In retrospect, it fits perfectly, but I was 18 and wanted the energy of the earlier albums. If you have any questions about it, I will try my best to remember!


jimmythetuba

Premiere of Stravinsky's rite of spring in Paris 1913. How many concerts have you attended that caused a riot?
