John Hurt in New York. 1963 or 64. Drove from North Carolna with Spec 4 Hank Bradley, and Margot Grieg, in my 500 dollar Buick, saw John give his legendary performance, slept at friend's house in Rye, and drove back to North Carolina the next day. And night. To this day the most worthwhile trip of the kind I often urged my daughter never to make in my memory. Similarly, but only a 100 mile night return trip, the 1959 (I think) Newport Folk Festival with my sister, and that one included Frank Warner and Cisco Houston.
