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?

On the plus side, Rolling Stones & Stevie Wonder at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, 1972. Mick & Stevie encore together on Satisfaction & Uptight.

On the minus side, David Bowie & Stereophonics at the Knight Center in Miami, 2004. Stagehand fell from above the stage to his death in plain view of the audience after Stereophonics. Bowie was canceled.

Both memorable for obvious reasons.

More recently, two shows, Wilco & Paco de Lucia, a month apart at the Fillmore Miami Beach, 2012. Both were superb. Haven’t seen anything close to those shows in the past few years.
