I suspect that you would have been disappointed in the Mach 1 flight. While there was a lot of shaking and buffeting in the early supersonic planes, in modern aircraft it is a nonevent that you can tell only by the mach meter. (I flew in fighter jets that could easily breadk Mach 1, and I flew over Mach 2 on one occasion). The Concorde is a very luxurious craft, from what I've heard, so you might have enjoyed that aspec of the flight.
