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've tried to talk my daughter into going to a few concerts with me but she really isn't into it. She did earn her Doctorate today though!!!!

Congratulation for your daughter getting Ph. D.

May I know what is her field?

I have one son(oldest) and two daughters.

I have good relation with all of my children.

It is good for your to have boy's time in concert.

Your daughter may not like to spend time outside.

Where to start? I have ticket stubs from James Brown in the 200-seat Y-Court building at college (UNC): $2.00--1965??

First concert, PP&M, 1962, Norfolk Auditorium, I think.

Next was either the Rolling Stones or Ray Charles--got to look at the stubs to see which was first as I saw them both--at the Dome in VA Beach. No longer there--sat about 400 people--1963.

Beatles at DC Stadium (now JFK, I think) 8/15/1966, and they sounded EXACTLY like they did on record that night.

Linda Ronstadt, Yes, Allman Brothers, plus more I can’t remember at the wonderful famous SPORTATORIUM in Hollywood, FL, in the 1970’s.
Anyone who was ever there has a memory of the place...it was a great concert venue at the time and like many others I saw numerous shows there. Gotta check my ticket stubs to see all of them

Most memorable?

Tampa Stadium, July 4, 1976.

Loggins and Mesina, last tour, Fleetwood Mac (Rumors) and The Eagles (Hotel California)

NEVER forget it...and I have been to many more since.

Cheers!
