If you can go back in time and witness one historic, entertainment or sporting event, what would it be and why?
![]() Mike “OD” O’Donnell, WKRZ: I would go back to see Michael Jackson on his Victory tour. My one regret in this business is that I never got to see him perform live. The timing was never right for me…unfortunately. Jonathan Shuford, WRVW: The Ice Bowl, Packers vs. Cowboys, or the The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. Joey Brooks, WHYI / WMIA: Bobby Orr visited me in the hospital when I was a kid so he’s my favorite athlete of all time. I’d go back to see his game winning goal for the Stanley Cup in 1970. Big Rob, KSME: Let’s go back to watch MJ at the Super Bowl. Such an iconic performance! In fact, I’d take going back to seeing any MJ show live. I certainly, missed that opportunity! Rick Vaughn, Power 94.9: Chicxulub Asteroid impact. Brian Michel, iHeartMedia / Atlanta: Moses parting the Red Sea…because why not?
Bartel, WKTU: The 1980 World Series Phillies win and the original Woodstock. Casey, WIOQ: To last Sunday night and watch the Eagles kick Tom Brady‘s butt again! Josh Reich, WB Bros. Records: The 1995 Source Awards, which changed the direction of music forever. Todd Lyons, KATS: Can I go forward in time and see the Seattle Mariners win their first World Series? PLEASE?!?!
Tony Waitekus, WHTQ: I’d like to see the rise of Elvis Presley in his early days…seeing concerts and interviewing him on the radio when that was possible. |
Brian Mack, WXXL: 1964 Beatles at Shea Stadium…I’m a Mets and Beatles fan!
Michael McCoy, WNCI: The Aaron Boone Game 7 home run game that sent the Yanks to the series in 2003. It was the best of all worlds with that one…Red Sox go home! Mike McVay, Cumulus Media: The Steelers‘ first Super Bowl win because I’m a Steelers fan and that team was full of Hall of Famers!
Kobe, WWHT: The Grammy performance when Michael Jackson debuted the “moonwalk.” For sports it would be the night of Mario Lemieux returned after he beat cancer. Fish Boy, WKRZ: The 1980 winter Olympics hockey team in Lake Placid.
Toby Knapp, WASH: I would have wanted to be in the room when the signers of the U.S. Declaration of Independence signed their names to a document which would make them instantly outlaws, hunted down by the authorities, but which would ultimately change the world. This ‘idea’ that is America means something and what we do – protected by the right we have to free speech – means everything.
Java Joel, WAKS:The “We Are The World” recording session. Brian Michel, iHeartMedia-Atlanta: Moses parting the Red Sea…cause why not? |
![]() Heather Deluca, WSJO: The 1980 Winter Olympics when USA hockey beat Russia. Paul Kelly, WWAC: Let’s go wayyy back and witness The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Most of us in the music biz wouldn’t be doing what we do today if that performance never happened.
Chad Rufer, KZZO: From the music side it would have to be “The Main Event” with Frank Sinatra and from a historic side, “The Last Supper.” Chris Mann, WERO: I would have loved to see Sinatra and the Rat Pack at the Sands Casino in 1960. That was a little piece of entertainment history that can’t be repeated. Rod Phillips, iHeartMedia: The Ice Bowl in Lambeau! Forever a Packer fan and cold weather doesn’t scare me. Chris Michaels, FM100: I would love to go back and see Prince live in concert. I never had the chance to see him. Bob Patrick, WXLK: Game 6 of the 1980 World Series. I was too young to really know what was going on and would love to have felt that moment when Tugger [Tug McGraw] struck out Willie Wilson. Live-Aid in Philly. I had an All Star baseball game the same day and would have loved to be able to be there at the old JFK Stadium. Ken Carson, Mid-West Family Broadcasting-Springfield, IL: The original Woodstock Music and Arts Festival with a rain poncho and a great camera. Why? Because rock is my lifeblood and it didn’t get any better than those three days. |
