If you could go back in time, what band or musician would you see in concert?
Being 15 in 1970, I saw some great ones, but missed Janis, Jimi and Jim Morrison.
On the jazz side, I was lucky to see Ella and Joe Pass(different shows).
Anyway, I'm going to go with Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green and Danny Kirwan,
at least for today. How about you?
Jazz would be the Miles band with Shorter, Corea, Holland and DeJohnette.

Rock would be the Faust in Glasgow - tour of the UK in 1973

The Beatles in Hamburg 1962 or in The Cavern Club.
I'd climb in Mr. Peabody's invention to see John Mayall in 1969 at Fillmore East, the concert released as "The Turning Point".
Jazz?...so many choices....ok...again, back to NYC in 1969 to see Ornette Coleman at New York University, the concert released as "Crisis".

"Who would have thought a whale would be so heavy?" - Moe Sizlak
Genesis Selling England or Lamb tours, and Yes's Topographic Oceans tours come to mind

Wes Montgomery
Hendrix at The Filmore

Gentle Giant

Stravinsky/Diaghilev - the premiere of Le Sacre du Printemps April 2nd, 1913, Paris
King Crimson - from '70 - '74.
Genesis - the Lamb at the Shrine '75

Gentle Giant - at the Shrine Auditorium in '75. Renaissance open.... Oh wait, I was there....
And if there were a god, I think it very unlikely that he would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence - Russell
No Doubt, it would be the Stones in their prime. Beatles would be a long second - If I could stand the screaming fans... Probably not, since they drowned the band out.
I got nothin' :
...avoiding any implication that I have ever entertained a cognizant thought.

I was 15 when the original Woodstock happened. I was aware it was coming but about two years too young to travel across the country alone to attend.
The Charles Mingus tour of 1964 with Eric Dolphy in the band. For sure.
Second place: The Lennie Tristano sextet in 1949.
Third place: Dizzy Gillespie with Charlie Parker at the 3 Deuces in 1945.
Fourth place: either the Mothers of Invention in 1968/69 or Soft Machine in 1969 as a septet.
Fifth: Mahavishnu Orchestra in Japan in 1973.
phew. That's some heavy, old dreaming.

please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
Deep Purple August 16 1972, Osaka Japan
Miles at the Cellar Door 1970 for starters....
no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
I would have loved to have seen Yes on the '79 In the Round tour, or Genesis during the TotT or W&W tours.
There are plenty of others, but those are the first two off the top of my head.
Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
Didn't Floyd, Softs and Hendrix tour? The first RIO festival. Those would be mine.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
Fifteen years ago, that would have been amongst my choices too, but The Musical Box have taken away any real desire to see the real Genesis do that music. The only thing I'd get out of it is the pyro.
I'd go for the Relayer tour and the "solo albums" tour. The former so I can hear To Be Over played live, and the latter for the Crab Nebula stage.
Would love to be transported back to some Zappa shows...of any era.
<sig out of order>
How could I forget!
I'd give anything to see Nektar with Mick Brockett's liquid light show.
I've been on the Wayback machine a few times in recent years. Cream, James Gang, Utopia, Vanilla Fudge and, oh yeah, Nektar with Mick Brockett's liquid light show.
Remember the future will always be there.
