What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far?

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?

Hard to single one out from some really great shows, but here goes:

UK with Bill Bruford and Al DiMeola at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, 28 July 1978.

Some of the best on that stage, including John Wetton.  

Then when DiMeola came out for his encore, he says "I'd like to introduce three very special friends of mine:  Mr. Lenny While, Mr. Stanley Clarke and Mr. Chick Corea!"  Return to Forever did a 45 minute improv jam.

We were standing on the seats!
