1) For the wholeness of the experience...Laurie Anderson at Town Hall in NYC the weekend after 9/11. Walking the ghost town that was Manhattan to the theater was beyond description. She dedicated the show to the event. Sitting in that old rickety theater and hearing her was bone chilling.
2) Seeing my idol David Bowie for the first time.
3) Joe Cocker at Music Midtown Atlanta in 2002. I don't think I have been driven to tears like that at a concert ever.
4) Thievery Corporation in 2003. They brought 13 world artist acts from all over the planet...from every continent with them. The beats, the soul, the heart...the light show and visuals...and the fellowship that thewy generated in the audience. Just singular and amazing.
5) Nina Simone at the Chastain Ampitheatre in 2001. One of last concerts of her life. She was weak, and had to sit down between each song. Her love and passion set the stage onfire still.
In my younger days, I went to see a Captain and Tenille concert. Their warm up act was Kenny Rogers about 6 months before Lucille skyrocketed him to stardom.
