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?

Oh my where to start!

Will keep it short and start at the beginning.

Everybody’s first concert should be on the list yes?

Mine is.

Van Der Graf Generator, yes truly... Lol
As a snot nosed 13 year old even I could see I was a bit out of place but heck yeah it was good!

Next up following week was AC/DC with Bon Scott on vocals. High Voltage? Darn right!

Then Ritchie Blackmore Rainbow with quintessential lineup of Blackmore, Dio and Powell.

Styx on their Paradise Theater tour.

Rory Gallagher in a smoky whiskey sodden dive club.

But even though was a die hard rocker it was hard to ignore the explosion of punk.

To that end I saw perhaps the most fantastic display of pure energy by a band ever.

All in a tiny underground club( crypt would be more like it!).

The Vibrators... Blew my mind.

So I decided we needed some life at the next college bash and as I was the treasurer on the student union I hired The Clash to play at at our Christmas gig.
Blew the next year’s entire budget in one night...lol
Still not quite sure why they asked me to step down the following week though.
