If I had a time machine.....

[Jasonic]

Ok, here's something I have been thinking about for a thread topic..

Let's all post some shows you have missed (either because you weren't into the band at the time, or simply missed due to inabilty to go, etc) throughout the years......

If you can, maybe beef it up with a flyer, pic, what not......

If I had a time machine, I would attend THIS show:

 

[Diabolik]

boy...reach for the stars there jason.

 

[MetalSpice]

Never saw Randy Rhoads, as I was like 2 yrs old when he died. That would have been cool. Really, there are a million dead rock stars I wish I could have seen.
But for me, the ultimate would be to go to Woodstock. I know, not Metal, but still, that would have been an experience.
I am reaching for the stars, Bob!

 

[Diabolik]

what features does this time machine have? can it travel to other countries? how many times can it go back? will I return to present times? If I run into myself by accident will it cause a ripple in time?

Savatage WITH Trouble bitch!!!!!

Yes, I was not a big Savatage fan back then.
This was around the time I was getting out of metal, so don't even remember this show.

All good questions!!!!!
I guess my initial focus was primarily shows from your general vicinity, though that can certainly be extended to out of town gigs / festivals / etc.....

Here is a show that i DID almost go to, but tickets for OZZY / ANTHRAX were going on sale the next morning, so we opted for camping out for tickets instead. You young mother truckers will never experience camping out for tickets with your fancy interwebs..............

How about this bad boy???
This flyer was on my bedroom wall throughout all of Jr High and High School.
I wasn't there, but glad I kept the flyer all these years.

If I had a time machine I would probably go back to see the Dio-era Rainbow. Or maybe early Black Sabbath shows before anyone knew who they were.

Good call.
I would love to have witnessed the BLACK AND BLUE tour with BLACK SABBATH / BLUE OYSTER CULT, which happened in Chicago at the Aragon Ballroom.
When I have more time, I am going to give this thread the attention it deserves. I am sure I can come up with TONS of shows throughout the years I know I missed.

This. I would love to have seen that.

Others off the top of my head...
- Helloween w/Kiske regardless of the tour.

- While I saw Roger Waters do the Wall, I would have loved to have seen the Wall 1980 tour with all of Pink Floyd present.

- Yeah, I know it wasn't that long ago but the Iced Earth tour with Ripper on vocals. I didn't get into the band until a year or so after this tour.

- Any headline shows for the original incarnation of Black Sabbath through the Sabotage album cycle.

- Dio. While I saw him with Heaven and Hell, I never got a chance to see him do his solo stuff. Hell, if I could've seen him with Rainbow, that would be rad too.

That's enough for now. And yes, I'm too lazy to look up the posters.

I agree with this one. I saw Ronnie with Heaven and Hell, and it was amazing, but I wish I had gotten a chance to see Dio live himself with his solo band (with either Doug or Craig on guitar).
