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?

So three spring to mind - 

2017 Sylvan Esso at The Village Underground, London. They just knocked the socks off the place, their catchy chorus lines just got everyone into a really positive happy excited mood that felt wonderful in th intimate venue. 

2018 Sons of Kemet at Koko, London. This just a couple of weeks ago. In terms of sheer musicianship the best I have seen. But the thing that really nailed it was that they sounded so fresh, original, unconstrained. I left buoyant about the exciting places new music was going. Plus it was Jazz, and at one point there was a mosh pit. Don’t see that often. 

1998 (about). Bon Jovi, Gateshead Stadium, Gateshead. Best handling of a stadium crowd I have seen, ever. At the height of their Crossroads power, they just smashed the place to bits.
