Favorite concert

I'm watching a man on the inside, and they ask what's the best concert you've been to. I've seen the Violent Femmes a few times, Neil Young, Rush, Van Halen. Seeing Neil Peart drum was awesome. 

I've seen so many jazz concerts, operas. Since my memory has faded, I'd say seeing Eddie Van Halen doing Eruption was amazing, Rush, was amazing, Prince in Manchester was amazing. The last jazz set I saw was Ari Hoenig, and that was amazing. 

I remember really enjoying Cosi Fan Tutte, a Mozart Opera at a small place. I saw John Lithgow at the intermission, I could have gone over and talked to him if I had a good question for him. I saw Satyagraha at the Met, Philip Glass came up on stage and took a bow. I saw Philip Glass do Wichita Vortex Sutra: Pt 2, and that was amazing. I shook Sam River's hand, when he was playing with Andrew Hill. I saw Phil Collin, Brandi Carlile. I saw REM at Madison Square Garden, and my wife said she'd never heard me yell so much. I went to an amazing bluegrass festival in Virginia, can't remember any names of the performers. I saw Bill Frisell for free, saw lots of stuff free at the Charlie Parker festival. Seen classical concerts, can't really remember that, or the ballet. 

I've seen lots of Broadway shows: Les Mis, Mamma Mia, Rent, Avenue Q, those are the ones I remember. Many musical movies. Went to Sound Of Music in high school or middle school, I can't remember which. Loved midnight showings of Rocky Horror. Went to see Wicked: For Good last week. 

Gun to my head favorite concert, the last one because it's the best in my memory, Ari Hoenig.
