If You Could Go Back To Any Year Which One Would You Go To??

i'm talking in the last 5 or 6 decades from 1950 up until right now which year would you go to?

i'd probably travel back to 1978 and catch journey with a brand new vocalist steve perry,catch a killer new band called van halen,go see styx on the pieces of eight tour,watch boston tour behind don't look back,go see KISS at the height of its powers in a live setting,go see a brand new band called the cars,go catch bon scott live wit AC/DC,go see aerosmith in all its drugged out glory and see steve and joe fight too,lol.

Intially, I would have said somewhere between 1981-83. But, 1978 the way you described would be my pick.

1982 for me. I used to have so much fun in the arcades and miss the classic arcades so much.. Dimly lit arcade, overwhelming beeps and blips and classic rock radio playing in the backround.. PLaying Tron... ahh those were the days and I was only like 11-12..

While I understand the importance of using such a mystical power to catch an old Journey show... :roll: :wink:...

I'd have to say September 11, 2001 (ironically my 2nd wedding anniversary), so that I'd be able to give a little heads up and maybe change a thing or two.

I'd go back to 1674 and sword the guy who came up with the idea of the Balut Egg 8) Then I'd jump forward to 2006 and make sure the concept of You Tube was never turned into reality :wink:

September 11th 2001 - early morning, at either Logan or Dulles Airports to stop the attacks on my adopted home country.

I''m gonna go with '81-'83 as well. Early teens years are hard, but I have such great memories of that time, not only of the music, but life in general. Everything was simple and fun.

If these are years we've been around for I'd go back and relive 2003. Without a doubt.

Years we weren't around for, I'd say sometime either 78 or 83.

Forget the two above I'd go back to July 4th 1776 and make sure that shit didn't happen, Journey would then be British nationals 8)

That's only because we Brits and the Americans get to see all the major bands in real time, being in Canada you have to rely on visual screen clips. When you get a road network, electricity and running water, bands might just visit your place, that's a long way off yet...stick to you tube honey :wink: :lol:

November 5, 1955.

Flux capacitor + DeLorean + 88 mph = time travel

I'd make sure my parents kissed at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance so that I would exist.

1976. I was in the Fife and Drum corp at school with my 3 cornered hat and vest. I had met my first temporary true love and I got to play with BB Guns and lawn darts, all was good in the world ( well, my world anyway ). :D :D

It looks like it comes with a testicle tensioner, judging by his expression.

I forgot to add that if I could go back I would have used all my piggy bank money to invest in a new upstart company named Microsoft.
