Re: What was the greatest live entertainment show you ever saw?
And how could I forget my very first rock concert? Little did I know I was actually part of history in the making at the time -- the Monterey Pop Festival. Janis, Jimi, Morrison, the guy who did Purple People Eater, Otis Redding backed by Booker T & the MGs, Lou Rawls and so many others. I think nothing could ever surpass it. It was a very eclectic group that played that weekend -- from pop to rock to the introduction of acid rock. I still get chills remembering Janis belting out Ball & Chain while swigging on Southern Comfort. To have this black guy play the guitar upside down and then smash it to smithereens -- what an introduction to Jimi! And from Jimi to the Who. Definitely one of my most special memories.
