[Night Hides Not]

Had to go straight to the last page, there are just too many great suggestions.

I've seen the Stones, Elton John, Billy Joel, ELP, lots of other great performers.

Up until 18 months ago, I would have to say the best concert I ever attended was Spyrogyra in El Paso. Due to a change in venue, my tickets were upgraded from front row in the balcony to front row. My girlfriend hated it, but she still married me.

The best concert I ever attended was Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas, September 2019. The Saturday show started at 4 PM, didn't end until after midnight. Clapton was fantastic, as were all the performers. My most enduring memory is Los Lobos playing "Made to Break Your Heart", with Clapton performing the guitar solo.

So, for the purposes of this discussion, I would have loved to see Derek and the Dominos, with all of them sober and in good health. Second choice would be Clapton, from the mid-80s. Whenever I need a boost, I play the live version of "She's Gone".

I would go see Billy Joel just to watch Liberty DeVitto.

Although I grew up in Rochester, New York, we never had a car, so going to concerts of any kind were out of the question. My mother probably wouldn’t have let any of us kids go to begin with. She didn’t even want us riding our bikes in the street. I was the baby, and my two older sisters were into music, so I enjoyed what they liked. Bill Haley & His Comets, The Silhouettes, The Platters, The McGuire Sisters, Pat Boone, Johnny Mathis, The Everly Brothers, Santo & Johnny, etc. My sisters were both working when I started high school, so they were the ones who bought new albums, and 45’s every payday. My second oldest sister bought the first stereo console we owned. I remember it like yesterday...but don’t ask me what I had for supper last night.
