I think it would have been quite cool back in the early 1970s to have heard Helen Reddy I Am Woman when it first came out. It would have been so anthemic and inspiring. Bear in mind that women's rights have come a long way since then. A huge amount of progress was made that decade.

I also think, particularly if I was gay, it would have been superb to hear I Am What I Am on Broadway live. That was the era of AIDS, continued enormous discrimination and even criminalisation, and I can imagine it moved people to tears.
