I know that on this blog that I write a lot about music. Other than being with family, my favorite moments have been going to all sorts of concerts, from the Montreal Symphony with ALL of my children and many of my friends, and most especially with Kathleen, to seeing Opera in London with Maureen, the Vienna Symphony with Claire in Vienna, Jazz at the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, The Who in Buffalo, BB King with Kathleen, Yes in Rich Stadium, 10 Years After in Niagara Falls, Blues in Chicago with Al and Theresa and, yes, even Liberace with my parents many years ago at Kleinhans, Greg Lake in Buffalo with Kathleen, Beethoven with Paul and Jeff Beck with John Diana Krall with Kathleen, Veronica and Mag, Patricia Barber with Joan and Claire and Maureen, and and on and on and on. Don't judge me as being an old man when I say that the canned music of today, with its misogynist lyrics is -- well, plain dull and sometimes outrageously offensive and demeaning. But here's a challenge: Name the best concert that you have ever been at. Best means: most fun.
Having said all that here's three guys having a lot of fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99kjFdLFjH4&feature=fvw and also,
Too hard to choose just one. So, here are a few that I've loved (in no particular order.)
ReplyDeleteColdplay concert with Claire.
Robert Plant & Allison Krauss concert with Luke.
Pink Martini with Dad, Claire, and Luke.
Gershwin Concert at the Egg in Albany.
Anything that was in the Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal.
Handel's Messiah.
I liked the O.A.R.concert at SPAC and the Brand New concert in Montreal.
If I keep going, I suppose they wouldn't be favorites.
