If you could've seen any tour which one would you have liked to see (or did see)?

I'd liked to have seen the Jimi Hendrix Experience 1967 World Tour in London.
Second would be the 1969 Led Zeppelin World Tour.
Followed by the Who live at Leeds.

Stones - Exile...or really anything from 67 to about 72

Pink Floyd - Animals....passed it up...didn't yet know how much I'd come to appreciate that album/era...and the tickets seemed like a small fortune...though they were probably like eighteen bucks

In no particular order:

The Beatles - specifically the Rooftop performance in '69

Allman Brothers - any show with Duane, and narrowing it down a bit, mid to late '71 when they started adding "Blue Sky" to their setlist

Derek & the Dominos - any show that Duane played in

Little Feat - only saw them once and would love to see any show with Lowell again, the '75 and '76 tours were pretty good, maybe one of those shows

SRV - another artist that I only got to see once. Any performance from "The Fire Meets the Tour" in '89 with Jeff Beck woulda been an awesome one to see.

Jimi Hendrix - any one of the Berkeley shows in '70

Weather Report - Heavy Weather tour - ironically, on the night I saw Little Feat in '78, Weather Report was playing at a different venue. After his show, Jaco showed up and sat in on "Teenage Nervous Breakdown."

Stones - '71 or '72 tour - imo, musically, the group was at their peak

Roy Buchanan - any show

Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps tour

Santana - Abraxas tour

Of course it was a bad lay. You fell for the SSG honeypot and got suckered into losing you stash from the agent raid. As clever as you lead on to be, you were duped and outsmarted by a piece of pie who was just a pawn.

Funny ^^ but this was in the early 80's....

Before I ever was a "blip" on the FBI RADAR screen...
In fact , I was working for UNCLE BILL , THE GATEKEEPER AND BENDER...which gave me Carte Blanche TO DO ANYTHING I CHOSE TO DO THAT THEY NEEDED DONE....WHENEVER I WANTED ....and it fit my busy worker bee status...

I used to hire people to use my credit cards, MAKE calls on my hardline, drive my car, pay my BILLS.....etc...tons of traceble stuff ...When I was "OUT OF COUNTRY" UNDER An assumed name and creditials to match...
