Sitting in a folk club around 26/7 years ago in the Lake District (can't remember if it was Ambleside or Penrith) & listening to the Waterson's.

Though I've seen them in many of their various assemblages since, that was probably the first time I had seen them live, & it was something I'll always remember.

Seeing Doc Watson and Bill Monroe play a concert together at the old Carlisle Bluegrass Festival in Ontario in the late 70's.

It doesn't get any better. About as good, maybe, but not better.

What's your favourite folk reminiscence? I'm sure those of us who've been around the block a few times must have lots of great memories (that they can talk about!), but must have been somewhere or done something that you later thought "that was special".
For me I think it was back in the late 70's, sitting in the Drewe Arms at Drewsteignton on Dartmoor, drinking Mrs Mudge's beer and listening to Bob Cann play his melodeon. Absolute magic.
What's yours?
