If you could go back in time and watch -- but not change or interact with -- one historical event, what would it be? (lemmy.sdf.org)

For the sake of the argument, you get to arrive up to 24 hours before the event starts and leave up to 24 hours after it ends.

I'd probably choose something for entertainment. Maybe see what a Shakespeare show at the Globe was really like (extremely chaotic from what I've read)

Or see Hendrix play live at Woodstock!

That makes me sound a bit shallow maybe - there's a lot of questions I have about what early Christianity was like before the Catholic church came on the scene, what sort of a ruler Richard III was, similar sorts of dry questions... But given the choice I'd probably want some rowdy entertainment
