Your last concert was to see who and when?

Joe Robinson at the University of Akron's Wayne College in Orrville, Ohio on March 16, 2013. He's a "boy wonder" guitarist from Australia who is absolutely phenomenal. If you get a chance to see him play, I would highly recommend it.

Lorde in Phoenix in April 2014 with my 14 year-old daughter. A powerful singer and solid performer. The future of music looks good with Lorde in it!

Willie Nelson. At 81, he is on tour all summer. At 81, he owns the stage and _leads_ his band. A certified national treasure. I had so much damn fun.

Journey and Steve Miller last Friday. Not my choice and definitely not my cup of tea - but the beer was good and it was a fun night at Hollywood Bowl with friends, mostly crappy music notwithstanding.

I forgot to say: it was April of this year.

Probably a local swing band with Elana James (from Hot Club of Cowtown) on fiddle and vocals, Paul Glasse on mandolin and vocals, Terry Hale on bass, and a "nameless" drummer and steel guitar player (he was an ex-Ernest Tubbs sideman). The music was excellent.

I share Elizabeth's sentiments and rarely go to hear live music.

Santana at some outdoor pier in NYC back in the 80s. Buddy Miles was singing lead vocals. Graham Lear on drums was terrific. After that, I had no desire to get trampled and possibly shot at NY concert venues.

Acid Mothers Temple at Kings bar in Raleigh.

Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience,two weeks ago...Great show.

Willie Nile, The Ark, Ann Arbor, Mi. 3/28/14

Carlos Santana - April 27th 2014 St Augustine Amphitheater (FL)

Elena Papandreou at Northwestern U. circa 2002.

Since these concerts took place a few months apart two years ago and I forget which one took place first, it was either ... 1) Rosanne Cash opening for the Jayhawks (Beacon NYC) or 2) Glen Campbell's Farewell Tour (Town Hall NYC).

Rbrowne - I envy you. I have Rruga CD and listen to it often. There are world class performers coming to my small village (Joey DeFrancesco, John Mayall, Bill Frisell, Taj Mahal) but not often enough.

Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra with Kurt Rosenwinkel & Christian McBride, 05-24-14

Colin Vallon Trio - Santa Monica, CA - May, 2011

Taj Mahal, few months ago - what a class!

August 4, 2013 - I saw the Americana tour with: Ryan Bingham, My Morning Jacket, Wilco, (Bob Weir joined both of the above groups as a surprise guest), and Bob Dylan.

And my next concert is Built To Spill in late August of this year.

BTW, it is customary to start off a thread with your answer to your own question.

Christoph von Dohnanyi/Phila. Orchestra performing Beethoven's 7th and Weber's Clarinet Concerto no. 1.

Bill Charlap Trio on May 10 at McCarter Theatre in Princeton, NJ. Bill, with bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington, held forth with his jazz interpretations of "great American songbook" favorites in the Berlind auditorium. Melodic, artful, and engaging. A stimulating yet relaxing experience.
