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?

Maybe we'll start a new thread, but let's add another dimension to this....
WHAT CONCERT(S) do you WISH you could've/would've been able to see, while the artist was still alive, still touring, or before they broke up (but is/are no longer)??   

For me, it's some of the rock classics who died or broke up just a couple years too soon for me to have been able to see them live:

  • Hendrix
  • The Doors
  • Queen
  • Led Zeppelin
