Easy.....
Count Esterhazy put his personal house quartet - one of the finest in Vienna in its time - at Beethoven's disposal and this unit performed many of LvB's chamber works for the first time and under his personal direction. Oh... to be the fly on the wall for the Op 57 and/or Op 135 quartets! The Grosse Fugue is one of the greatest rock numbers of all time. Jimi was reputably jealous of this piece!
Right up there, and second choice for number one on the "hits I most regret I missed list" is the first public performance of the Eroica Symphony No. 3 which was truly a music history seminal moment. Politics, art, soul and inovation melded.... the crown went nuts, the world changed.
Third choice would to have been there for Charlie Parker and Dizzy at any one of the smokey venues they played on 34th Street circa late 40's. The full flowering of Be-Bop!
A close second (for third) would be Miles Davis' first quintet during the sessions for "A Kind of Blue". Jazz would never be the same after this modal masterpiece. Coltrane coming of age and Miles blowing magic.
and then there is Frank Zappa's last gig at the Filmore East. I was on the way to the gig but was too hung over and residually stoned from my previous evening and slept in my car and missed it.
I could go on....
cheers
Jack
and for the bottom of the pops, the last choice, and classic excremental examples of the musical gulag that was the late 70's-80's(sorry Sapo!); The Partridge Family at any venue at any time! (tough call, I'd have to say the Bay City Rollers, Pat Boone in his white suit and shoes creepy Las Vagas mode, and anything played solo on the accordian are also in contention for the bottom of the barrel and high on my list of "sure glad I missed that").
cheers
Jack</div>
I'd rather see Miles during his Agartha and Pangea days.

Alert | | You are correct ! Led Zep did play at Kinetic Playground also... Kinetic Playground was almost a shrine to rock in its heyday. Finally went back years later to take a walk thru the past only to find out the building had been totaled 6 months earlier. | | | |
