Your last concert was to see who and when?

Santana at some outdoor pier in NYC back in the 80s. Buddy Miles was singing lead vocals. Graham Lear on drums was terrific. After that, I had no desire to get trampled and possibly shot at NY concert venues.

Probably a local swing band with Elana James (from Hot Club of Cowtown) on fiddle and vocals, Paul Glasse on mandolin and vocals, Terry Hale on bass, and a "nameless" drummer and steel guitar player (he was an ex-Ernest Tubbs sideman). The music was excellent.

I share Elizabeth's sentiments and rarely go to hear live music.

I forgot to say: it was April of this year.

Journey and Steve Miller last Friday. Not my choice and definitely not my cup of tea - but the beer was good and it was a fun night at Hollywood Bowl with friends, mostly crappy music notwithstanding.

Willie Nelson. At 81, he is on tour all summer. At 81, he owns the stage and _leads_ his band. A certified national treasure. I had so much damn fun.
