The New York Philharmonic. Started the summer concert by singing The Star Spangled Banner, and heard them play excerpts from Porgy and Bess and Westside story. Outstanding.

I got to attend Handel’s Messiah AT Christopher Wren’s St Martin-in-the-Fields on Trafalgar Square in London on Easter eve in 2005. Wow.

Sometimes the setting is as important as the performance.

I had an album of his in the early 90s. A buddy of mine from Mexico got me hooked.

I work for an event staffing company and therefore work a lot of shows. Most acts aren’t worth five bucks. I worked Janet Jackson last night for example. Lame.

The best show I saw, this year was The Wailers. Jorma Kaukonen was a good show too. I heard , but did not see John Fogerty, probably should have gone to that.

Coheed and Cambria

Clearly I don’t get out much.

Tomorrow I am taking the old and young to see the Nutcracker at Ballet school, does that count?

Does 2016 count? Went to see Harry Connick in 2016 & he was great. A very talented man who sings & plays a lot of instruments...

MIT Women's Chorale spring concert in May. It was free, but I threw a few bucks into the donation bucket to keep them going.

No other concerts or performances.

Last “concert” I attended was my kids 8th grade band performance on the California Capitol steps about 18 years ago.

I did hear “Harvest Moon” by The Mavericks on Spotify and liked it so much I bought the song. It is a really great song.

ZZ Top with Robert Randolph and the Family Band
Garth Brooks
Chris Stapleton with Marty Stuart

We saw a Zeppelin Tribute band called Zoso and a Beatles tribute band called Yesterday and Today if you want to count those.

It has been a light year for concerts for us. We usually go to 6+ big shows per year. There just wasn’t a lot around here that I like enough to spend the money on.
