My most memorable ROCK moment

Wow. Hendrix, the Dead in Amsterdam, the Stooges in a fist fight, Chuck Berry at a birthday party? Although I have seen countless arena tours with most of the big name acts over the past 40 years, this thread makes me want to see even more. The problem I have is one of simple economics. Is it really worth $250 for me to go see the Stones or U2 again? At this stage of the game, I would rather go to a smaller venue and see someone like Big Head Todd or Railroad Earth for $30- especially if I don't have to stand up the whole time- except to dance of course.

This one may seem unbelievable,but it's true.My friend and I saw The Jimi Hendrix Experience at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium (now torn down)in 1967.The concert was truely amazing in sights and sound.As we were leaving the show through the interior tunneling system of the building.Who do we come upon but Jimi and bandmates in full flowering stage garb trying to find their way out of the building to their limo.We stopped to talk with them.They asked us how to get out of the building as they got lost.After helping them out with directions,we went on our way,never once considering to ask for autographs.From the Aud,we went to the Statler hotel to a restaurant there that served great burgers.As we were leaving via the main lobby,there's the Experience again still dressed in their show apparel waiting for the elevator to their rooms.So we stopped and chatted with them about the show,and of course being the dumb asses we were never asked for autographs again.They were very polite,but obviously looked very spent from the evening show.Looking back,what really seemed odd was that in both instances they were alone with no security escort and yet no one was bothering to pay much attention to them.An experience I will remember the rest of my life.

Jimi Hendrix concert at Merriweather Post in MD, he played during a driving rainstorm. At one point his guitar picked up a local station playing Purple Haze and he held the guitar up to the mic so everyone could hear it.

Cheers to your health. Some of you guys were at a Hendrix concert the year I was born and I'm 46 now.
