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?

You had been to many nice ones!

I wish I had been to live concert of Bruce Springsteen. I want to know why he is called boss.
reubent, as I mentioned my two favorite concerts were R.E.M in the mid 80s when they hadn't yet gotten huge and then The Struts about a month ago. One common denominator: my wife was with me at both. She was my girlfriend for the first and wife of 30 years at the second. She is not into music as I am (though she is a musician)....well, not the type of music I am into anyway....but she had a blast at both of these concerts, especially The Struts since she likes to sing and dance. So maybe that is a big part of why those two shows stand out for me.
@n80,

Although you're last comment wasn't directed at me, I had to say you are very blessed.
@n80 -  My wife does not enjoy music the way I do either. But, she's wanted to see Elton John for all of her life since she was an early teen. It was a joyful experience. I enjoyed the show quite a bit. But it was a joy and a blessing experiencing her reaction to seeing her lifelong idol. Priceless.
shkong78,
I wish that my father had done same thing to me.
Can I get a partial credit, at least, for flying my daughter to a Leonard Cohen concert and then one more ("fans and media only", no kidding, that was the title of it at Beacon Theatre in New York)?

She made it through both, even singing most of the time. Later she made me buy her a Judy Collins singing Leonard Cohen CD and take her to her concert, too.

She was 4 (years) at that first concert and full mature 5 at the second.
