Most emotional concert

   I've been to some absolute blinders over the years, but probably the most emotional one was when we saw The The on their 'Dusk' tour; they tour very rarely, so when you do get to see them, you have to be quick with the tickets.

At the time I wasn't really into them, I was only there as Vicky was a fan, but I can honestly say I've never heard a crowd reaction like it; even Matt Johnson seemed taken aback with the reception. From nowhere, this gig went into my top 5 of all time & now I'm a confirmed fan.

	Any concert of Peter Hammill is highly emotional. And I have seen him at least a dozen times. But probably the best was the reunion concert of VdGG at the Royal Festival Hall in London on May 6th 2005. The live album of that event is overdue and will finally be released on March 5th this year under the name "Real Time". It will be a double CD and contain the whole concert from beginning to end. Jean and I were fortunate enough to attend it and will never forget it. Edited by BaldFriede - February 01 2007 at 19:21

	mine was of all things.. not at a rock concert.. but personally meeting a living legend of music.. jazz legend Dave Brubeck after a intimate show for about 50 people, he did at NMU (northern michigan univ) back in early 90's. Alll I could do was blather on like an idiot about what a fan I was and how much that about (Time Out) defined my musical existance.. ie... me. Hell of a nice guy too...

	Concerts are a special moment for me. I've seen poor ones, great ones and some emotional ones. These are what I 'm interested in : to know when you felt the emotion invaded you (at the time of the concert or maybe later when you think about it). The most emotional for me was Genesis for the "Lamb Lies Down On Broadway". It was on April 12, 1975. Why was it emotional for me ? 1. It was my first Genesis concert (and unfortunately the last one while they were five) and I was profundely in love with them 2. Something very special did happen that night : they played two encores (nothing special so far). These were : "The Musical Box " and "The Knife" - "Le Couteau" as Peter will introduce it in French (he did use French to tell his stories when Genesis was touring in French speaking cities at that time). At times, there were no encore. At times either "Watcher" or "The Musical Box" (or both). Only on two occasions did they play "The Musical Box " and "The Knife" : on May 2nd 1975 in Birmingham and in Brussels. They knew already that they wouldn't tour together and wanted probably to thank the Belgian audience (Genesis preformed first outside the UK in Belgium - March 1971). 3. If I recall this concert with so much passion, it 's because it definitely left its mark on me (even if I saw them three times when they were four). So, please tell me yours and why. Cheers.
