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?

@shkong78 - Sound was pretty good, for a 19,000 seat arena. All of the speakers were hung up high, so no obstruction of the view. The subs, were on either side of the stage, down at floor level. We were dead center and up very close. So, the sound was good, but very loud. Wish I had taken my earplugs, but I forgot them.

I wend to the restrooms and bar back at the back end of the floor and there was much less volume of sound and the SQ was pretty good. 

Can't complain at all, considering it was a big arena.

I have to say it was The Beatles, on my 12th birthday, in Baltimore, my dear dad took me.  There have, and continue to be, countless concerts to follow, but that one stands out for a number of reasons.  I wish I had the opportunity to see Nathan Milstein, as the OP started with.

It was a quite experience to go to Beatles at the age of 12.

I wish that my father had done same thing to me.

I am impressed with  79 years old maestro play violin in so romantic way.

It was the most memorable one for me.
