Thread Name: first concert/best concert
Subject: RE: first concert/best concert
First concert: Theo Bikel on Boston Common, 1963. Dad had recorded (reel-to-reel, air-to-air) Pete Seeger's concert from WGBHtv 2 days earlier, and decided to bring the whole family to this concert.

Most memorable/best concert: J Geils Band, June, 1969, Clark University, Worcester, Mass. In the middle of the concert they wheeled out a black and white tv and shut down the concert so   everyone could watch Dylan's comeback on the Johnny Cash show. The show resumed, but it was an outdoor concert, and the campus cops cut the electricity at curfew time (10PM?). An extension cord brought the band back, and matches and cigarette lighters lit the audience.

Most recent: John McCutcheon in Brattleboro, VT.
