Listening to Solitude Standing on a beautiful quiet early evening, hearing Shawn Colvin backing on Luka, and thinking the 80's coffee shop scene in NYC must have been amazing.
What "scene" would you want to go back in time for? Not a concert, not a single event or artist, but places that would later be legendary? Haight-Ashbury is always the big one people remember (for GenX hearing about it from our Boomer parents). Early 90's hip-hop (East or West) are other big ones, Memphis at the Sun Records peak, could even be something as obscure as that Americana/Alt-Country scene that brought us DBT/Sturgil Simpson/etc. about a decade ago.
I think the NYC coffee shop scene would be my 2nd, maybe, behind the 90's So. Cal punk scene (NOFX, et. al.) That one's my first because I was the right age for it, and into the music, but I lived in KC so got all of it a little late and only caught the acts when they came through Lawrence, KS.
