Who have you seen live?

As an appraiser appraising his home in San Jose, CA, I met Danny Hull then playing Sax for the Doobie Brothers.

Saw Don Rickles when he was at Reno I believe, or maybe at Las Vegas.

Saw Karen Carpenter before she died at Las Vegas I think it was.
Been to Neil Diamond in concert in Santa Clara I think or could have been at San Jose.
Saw another famous band at Santa Clara that I do not now recall the name.

Neil Diamond has to be seen live to believe his performances.

Chris Cornell during the Euphoria Morning tour. i was so close in the front row that i could read his set list and hear the monitors. stood five hours in line for general admission, and it was worth every second.

Bob Dylan, three times. he's probably my all time favorite artist.

Haven't seen Dylan. But I was listening to one of my old favorite albums the other day. Johnny Rivers (Another I forgot to add to my list) covers Positively 4th Street on Johnny's Realization album. Dylan said that his version is the best he has ever heard. He went on to say Rivers accurately captured all of subtle nuances of his emotions. That is a great album if you have never listened.

Didn't need that flashback. I don't remember who or any songs because we were free to run amok but they or something similar might have been at Grad Night at Disney World (1989).
