Second best show I ever saw: I was 18, drove up to Lorings Airforce Base in Maine to see a Phish festival. 2 days, outdoors, rain or shine. 70,000 showed up for that. Was great music and a great atmosphere.
Best show I ever went to: I was privileged enough to get to see Supertramp about 10 years ago in Ottawa Canada. I couldn't pass up the chance to see that band. I grew up listening to that kind of music. I was a bit worried that they were has-beens, but my fears fled quickly only seconds into the first song. They were by far, the best show I had ever been to, and I've been to a few good shows. Wow what an honor.
Oh, and I got to see Derek Trucks in a very small bar type venue. Phenomenal artist. Funny thing about him, he's the only person that I ever reacted to the way I did. My sister took me to see him after introducing me to his music. I was, as they say in Bambi, "twitterpated". I spent the whole show just staring at him, almost entranced, and love struck. It wasn't just that he was incredibly handsome or a phenomenal guitar player, there was something about his aura that captivated me. My heart melted <3
