I started out by trying to list every music concert I’ve ever attended. Then I added comedy performances, because I didn’t know where else to put them. I started a separate list for plays, but then I thought, since the music concert list includes operas, and operas are a kind of musical theater, why not add plays to this list. So here are all the music and comedy concerts and theater performances I have attended, in chronological order, since 1975 – that I can remember. My memory is fading so I’m sure there are gaps.

Code: M (music concert); T (theater play); MT (musical); (O) opera; (C) comedy; (D) dance

  “In 1978, Zappa played the Palladium in New York City for six shows: one on Halloween, two each on Oct. 27 and 28, and one on Oct. 29. … This concert had some serious head-banging heavy metal guitar solos that stimulate your entire body with scintillating current; you will hear the magical musicianship of the band as it displays complete mastery of some of Zappa’s most difficult material; you will be awed by Denny Walley’s super sweet and melodious slide guitar delivered with a Delta blues fingerprint so implacable and delicious that it’s like a savory sweet potato pie; and the interplay between L. Shankar’s electric violin and Zappa’s guitar approaches the mystical.” http://frankzappasrevenge….ladium-nyc.html

  Chaperoning Jahnet Becker and friends.
  “On the basis of their catchy hit singles, the Go-Go’s and a Flock of Seagulls, who shared the bill Tuesday at Madison Square Garden, have become leading commercial lights of minimalist post-new-wave rock. The Go-Go’s, the all-woman quintet from Los Angeles, became America’s pop sweethearts with their lighthearted blend of old fashioned girl-group harmonies and surf music and newer-fashioned punk. A Flock of Seagulls, a quartet from Liverpool, makes danceable, synthesizer-oriented rock that compacts psychedelia and electropop into robotic singing telegrams for the space age.”
