I do not go to concert very often, maybe once or twice a year.

I listen to music mostly through my audio system as much as 4 hours a day.

The most memorable concert that I had attended is the solo recital by Nathan Milstein held at Auditorium of UC Berkely on 1983.

He is one of the virtuoso violinist of the 20th century.

But he was 79 when he played at the recital on 1983.


When he played Partita by Bach, it was not his best.

Although he showed some of his skills, he could not keep up with the fast tempo as much as I wanted.

But as soon as he started playing "
César Franck, Violin Sonata in A Major.
".

I just marveled at the sweet sound of violin.

I could realize why he is one of the virtuoso violinist of the 20th century.

He died on 1992 so it is now impossible to attend his live recital again.


How about you ladies and gentlemen?

I've been to hundreds of live shows. Three come to mind however. The most "memorable" concert that I've attended is the Grateful Dead at Alpine Valley summer of 1989. I was straight & sober that night. First time I saw them in that condition & they were GREAT! Saw them many times straight & sober after that, but the first time is the most memorable. Also saw King Crimson in Chicago mid 2000's & they were great. First moe. show was also one to remember. If you like jam bands you owe it to yourself to catch one of there shows.

"In response to "Masters of War", huge throngs of youthful Germans flashed peace signs" It doesn't get much better than that!!

shkong78,
Grateful Dead mostly attracted college students and yuppies by the late 80's. They did certainly retain their die hard base of hippies though... They were great shows
ihor,
I have never heard of  Kishi Bashi but will check them out. Thanks for the lead.
Two of my children are also music lovers. My oldest saw the following concerts with me:
Grateful Dead
Bob Dylan
Dark Star Orchestra (A couple times)
My youngest:
Wilco
My Morning Jacket
Bob Dylan
moe.
And next week we'll see LOW together!
I've tried to talk my daughter into going to a few concerts with me but she really isn't into it. She did earn her Doctorate today though!!!!
I'm done bragging (for now)
shkong78 & glupson,
Thank you so much for your kind words. She earned her doctorate from Georgia Tech in Psychology. Very proud of her, she is the first Phd in our family. 

kacomess, I would have absolutely loved to see Captain Beefheart in concert. What a musician Don was. It took a while for his music to grow on me, but when it did, it went deep. 

shkong78,
Autumn leaves is one of those songs that will live on forever. FWIW Bob Dylan has it on was of his albums as does Mark Lanegan. If you're interested I suspect you can find them both somewhere online.
