One (1) Most Important Live Concert You Wish You Had Seen?

[Synaxis]

If you had to name only one (1) live concert that you could have gone to see anywhere, anytime but did not, what would it have been? (No list . . . No honorable mentions . . . Only one.)

Great question, Ron.

There is only one I regret missing: Above & Beyond when they did their Acoustic tour (which was them with an orchestra).

Their concert video of Live at the Hollywood Bowl is EPIC and I actually use a song from that as one of my reference review songs.

It's incredible to know the normal versions of their songs and to see how they completely changed them, yet remained true to the songs at the same time for that tour.

Horowitz "An Historic Return" to Carnegie Hall, 1965. This was Horowitz's first concert after stopping performing in 1953. Recorded by Columbia on an album of the same name. I was in college in Boston at the time. I wish I had made the extraordinary effort to get tickets and go down to NYC.
