My favorite concert experience was many years ago. The San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park in Escondido held concerts under the stars in the summer. We went to a Don McLean concert which was very enjoyable. There were hundreds of people sitting on blankets on the hillside overlooking the stage. There was the constant murmur of talking interspersed with laughter and glasses clinking. As a finale, he started singing Starry, Starry Night (Vincent). The place went completely quiet, not a sound but his voice. It still sends chills up my spine when I think about it even now. It was so eerie. Whe he was done the place exploded with applause. Whew!
