What a great question! We may see a little history unfold.

The absolute very best ever was long, long ago. It had to have been early 70's. Maybe even late 60's.

Fellow baby boomer, Liza Minnelli was at Cincinnati Gardens. She was young. Really young. Me, too. She could sing and dance AT THE SAME TIME. She brought down the house in that old place. Even with the lousy acoustics. An incredibly powerful voice and an energy that did not stop. But here we are, all these many years later. Fellow boomers together. Whatinthehellwasthatwomanthinkingalltheseyears!!!!

I also saw ol' Jerry Lee Lewis at Cincinnati Gardens. He is just like you would think he would be. A wild man. My friend forced me to crash his dressing room with her. She wanted to give him a tie with a piano keyboard on it. And so we did.

I went through a country phase where I saw a few. Hank Williams, Jr. was among them. That concert was not much fun. The guy next to me kept wanting to fall in love. And he was so drunk that I was just worried that he was going to puke in my shoe. He kind of ruined that one.

Stevie Ray Vaughn was another one.

And then there was one of my all-time favorites, Mr. B. B. King.

Hey, thanks cabo35. I think I will go punch up the iPOD now and go back to work
