I'd love to see Gilmore in a smaller venue....just not into large stadium/arena shows. Over the thousands of shows I've seen, it's the unknown surprises that I still recall most....

Derek Trucks first public gig sitting in with a great local blues band when he was only 9 years old...and had been playing a few months...only a few dozen there, but knew we'd witnessed something special.

Derek with some other "kid" a couple of years later in a big outdoor gig....13 yr old Llightnin' Joe Bonamassa channeling SRV.

Remember seeing the Ben Fold's Five (3 piece w/ Ben on baby grand, stand up bass, drums) play their first gig at the local corner college bar...it freakin' rocked. I told his mom that her son was a musical genius at work the next day

Most of the magical moments have been by folks you've never heard of, in small venues, with maybe a few hundred or couple of thousand, or maybe just a dozen or less....but it's still magic when it happens...

have to keep radar on for T Emmanuel now....

Exactly right. He spend a half hour walking the audience through a Chet Atkins song, how he and his brother learned to play. It was a joy and a delight.

My wife the musician was speechless. Hard to do

Saw Midnight Oil at the Hard Rock cafe in Orlando when Peter Garrett was still with them.

One of the best concerts I've ever attended!

EDM really doesn't send me, but I'm old. And a musician who plays real instruments as opposed to hitting the space bar

I saw Marshall Crenshaw play with The Bottle Rockets last year at a small venue in L.A. Must have been 50 people tops who attended in a venue that held 250, maybe it wasn't advertised well. The cool thing was you could just walk up and talk to Marshall and the band.

But the very cool thing was that of the 50 in attendance, 2 of them were Mark Knopfler and Colin Hay (Men At Work).

Muddy Waters in the mid-70s at the Colonial Tavern in Toronto with only 30 people in the bar. Billy Joel, in his early Pianoman tour at Massey Hall. Paul in the '76 Wings Tour. Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte at the Vienna Opera House - 3rd row orchestra. All bucket list worthy.

I understand. But, for the money, I think I could play a pretty mean space bar.
