Subject: RE: Favourite Performances You Were Lucky to See
I'm pretty sure the best show i ever saw was Jimmy Cliff at the gorgeous old Paramount Theatre in Oakland, CA.

Since it's a real movie palace, it wasn't a dance show, but I still remember the blue lights, then that music which was pure and sinuous rhythm, then my body just taking over and dancing in the small space in front of my seat (and i usually am uncomfortable dancing in public).

I was literally incapable of stopping dancing. I have never really felt like that before or since and i remember wondering how anyone could sit in their seats. (I think you had to be there).
