If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living?


I have interest in hearing about yours.   I can think of some great concerts over the years in many great buildings, from Hancher in Iowa City, to Fisher Hall in New York, to some bars in Copenhagen. 

Something I have noticed....performers have times they are more "on" just like us, and it can make their concerts be perceived at different levels.   I know the three times I saw Jackson Browne, each was much different and most of that was his intent.  Having a good sized group with very talented back up singers to the time I saw him solo....all great, but very different.  He is a better guitar player than he may be given credit for. 

The live Jazz I have been to in NYC is near the top.  Sweet Basil and the Blue Note through the years have been very good to me, but in a much different vein, the lakefront festivals in Milwaukee are a somewhat unknown to most of America. 

I did see a few artists before their success and fame, saw a famous British singer at a bar in Rapid City many years ago..and he has done well since. 

Take care,

Pil- the Aragon brawl room in Chicago in 1988.
Jeff Buckley at the metro in Chicago 1991.
The The- the Aragon 1993.
chili peppers, Pearl Jam and the smashing pumpkins- all same show Aragon 1992. And my very first concert at 12 yrs old- the police, the fixx and a flock of seagulls at old comiskey park in 1980. Joan Jett was there as well but she was booed off the stage. People were throwing stuff at her. Different times.
