To show my age, Peter, Paul and Mary in 1964, early protest songs and the great songs I introduced to my children and they still like them. I have a few special favorites i can still sing all the words to. Scary.

The Shins. It was hands down liberating, inspiring and pure happiness. I couldn't help but dance and sing and throw my arms in the air in agreement with everyone.

Being an avid Rod Stewart fan, well you guessed it... Roddie's concert in Moncton, N.B. but in close second, very close second, Bryan Adam's concert was phenomenal!!!!!

You saw INXS with Michael Hutchence? I am offically jealous. I would have loved to have seen them back in the days of Shabooh Shoobah and The Swing.

I guess it would have to be Tonic Sol-Fa (an acapella group). I'm kind of morally opposed to paying alot of money for lousy seats to watch a band lip-synch. I'd rather buy the "live conert" version CDs or DVDs. But Tonic Sol-Fa is a relatively local group, and I think it takes greater talent to sing acapella than with a band backing a person up with music.

3 way tie:
Paul Simon - Rhythym of the Saints tour; how perfect to see children, parents, and grandparents completely united by music that spans all generations;
Van Morrison - last year; a single tear trickled happily from the outside corner of my left eye the entire concert...just over two hours of perfection; I have goosebumps just typing this;
INXS - original version, w/ Michael Hutchence...the first and only concert that I camped outside for tickets. I was young, and it was worth it!

Oooooo....concert memories! Long after the Deadheads were...well.....over...totally over...., I saw them in Eugene, Oregon with a group of friends.

Here's the scence: A hot steamy night, an "exotic" city for a bunch of Canadian kids, a few illegal drugs, an exit out the wrong door and shazzam - we ended up at the Dead afterparty with Ken Kesey, the Merry Pranksters and the whole darn band. Memorable - oh yes!

Stevie Wonder, 1975 in Montreal. Cat Stevens was in the audience and got on state with him and sang"Superstitions" with Stevie. Stevie performed alot of cuts from his not-yet-released album, "Songs in the Key of Life." One of his back-up singers was Denise Williams. Concert lasted longer than 3 hours.

Jerry Garcia Band at the Warfield in San Francisco... too many nights spent there to recall just one. His mixture of rock, soul, blues, bluegrass... getting in line early so we could get "our table" on the floor with plenty of dance space. Sweet memories of nights spent with good friends and good music.
