Your last concert was to see who and when?


Pretty simple, what and when was your last concert?

Been very lucky this year - Maurizio Pollini at Carnegie Hall on Friday, Tom Harrell at the Vanguard early last week, Lizz Wright at the Highline Ballroom earlier in the month. Dave Weckl, Victor Wooten, Cecile McLoren Savant and U2 in the Summer; Lou Donaldson, Lisa Fischer, Gregory Porter in the Spring. Very lucky to live in NYC.
Saw the NY Phil at Lincoln Center two weeks ago. The band was quite good, but the sound at Geffen Hall is shameful, IMO. No resonance, no bottom. Very, very flat. Supposedly, they're redoing it - again. Carnegie is far better. Of course, where you sit makes a difference, but I allegedly had very good seats, so I wonder if it's better anywhere else in the audience.
But I did have a nice time otherwise.
Hey Acman3 – It was a strange experience...I hadn't seen him live in about 6-7 years, and his condition has worsened significantly since then. It was hard to not be a bit distracted; at times he looked catatonic standing on the stage with his arms at his side and head down while other people solo'd.

But then he played a song called "Journey to the Stars" – a duet with his pianist – that was one of the most sublime experiences I've ever had listening to music. It was as close as I can remember to hearing a person's spirit playing rather than his body...Unreal.
