What would be your ideal day, watching an event / gig from the past....actually live.
Mine would be watching The Addicks 1947 cup final followed by a Jimi Hendrix gig at Brixton Academy. Carling don't do time machines but if they did.........
Gotta agree with the playoff final, but music-wise... Always wished I'd been old enough to see Baba O'Reilly at The Valley.
Im 34, have met and fly fished with Roger Daltry on a few occasions, and am a late, but massive fan. Would have been great seeing them at the best venue in the World
I am with Charlton Dan, I remember my parents moaning about the Who at the Valley but I was 5/6 then so no chance to go, though I can say I heard it as we lived in Eastcombe Avenue then and it could be heard.
I would go with a huge attendance at the Valley may be Bartrams last game or the FA Cup game v Villa followed by back to the Valley to see the Who.
It has to be the 1947 FA Cup Final, surely? It's the only time we've ever won anything. Celebrate with a few points before going to see either Ride or Joy Division in their prime.

Play off final again and another trip to the Valley to see the Who, buying my badge and T Shirt off Curbs and listening to MY Generation Blues, which I finally found a copy of a couple of years ago on the DVD 30 years of R&B - The Who - whatever happened to girls going topless at concerts - oh yes I got too old to go to them!!
Went to both Who gigs at the Valley and at the play off final but I would plumb for Pink Floyd or Led Zep at the O2 and 7-6 win against Huddersfield or 47 Cup final.
Seen The Who countles times and was lucky enough to meet John Entwistle many years ago but would have loved to see them in the 70's.
My uncle was at both and my old man has told me that he was round my nan's house watching a news report on it when the camera panned (& stayed on my uncle & his friend) They were both obviously stoned out of their minds and my nan turned round and said "Ooh, they don't look like they're very happy do they!"
For the sporting event it would be the 1970 Le Mans.

The Who @ The Valley

Remember you could hear it in Plumstead
Jimi Hendrix/Joy Division/Stone Roses/Nirvana with Radiohead playing as support at the Valley.
However I would go for '47 final followed by Stone Roses at Spike Island.
and Elton John at the Valley :-)
