What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far?

shkong78 & glupson,
Thank you so much for your kind words. She earned her doctorate from Georgia Tech in Psychology. Very proud of her, she is the first Phd in our family. 

kacomess, I would have absolutely loved to see Captain Beefheart in concert. What a musician Don was. It took a while for his music to grow on me, but when it did, it went deep. 

shkong78,
Autumn leaves is one of those songs that will live on forever. FWIW Bob Dylan has it on was of his albums as does Mark Lanegan. If you're interested I suspect you can find them both somewhere online.  

I was just reading unreceivedogmaspost about going to free concerts in Central Park. I remembered seeing Country Joe and The Fish playing there in the late 60’s . When I looked this concert up, I discovered I was part of history being made that night.

Country Joe sang their classic anti-VietNam war protest song, "Fixin’ to Die Rag" (You know the refrain "One, two, three, four, what are we fighting for? Don’t ask me I don’t give a d___, next stop is Viet Nam").

Unbeknownst to me, I just read that was the first time Country Joe ever had the crowd chant a different four letters than F-I-S-H for the FISH cheer. After he called out "Gimme an ’F’ ". I remember being surprised at the audience participation chant turning into "F____ the war" and assumed that’s how they always did it live. Perhaps it wasn’t the greatest moment in history, but I was certainly into it at the time. No match for the Dylan concert I mentioned above, but cool none the less now knowing I was there when that passionately obscene anti-Viet Nam war rallying cry was born.

I had listened to several version of "Autumn Leaves".

But Eva Cassidy's version is way best.

Her somewhat sibilant voice make feel sad.

I bought used one from Amazon.

Yes!  Autumn Leaves with Eva Cassidy.  Genius!
Wish I had seen her live.
