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?

I would have to say Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon tour is my most memorable concert I have ever attended and it was one of the very first concerts I attended.

Wow, you had been  to live concerts of  Rolling Stones, Beatles, Linda Ronstadt and Eagles.

I am envious of your experience.

Now I have no choice other than listening through my audio system.

For me this years most memorable concert was Michel Schenker at the grove in anaheim. The set was almost 3hrs long the singers from all incarnations sof the Micheal Schenker Group on hand and on stage together at times. I was right at the partition to the stage. Great music went with 4 of my friends all of us were blown away.
