The first-ever American concerts for Robyn, MIA, and The Knife; Beyoncé at Roseland doing her career-overview show for the release of 4; accompanying a journalist friend backstage at Lady Gaga to hear pre-release tracks from BORN THIS WAY (and getting to say hello and chat with her)
She jumped into the room without warning at the precise moment that Clemons’ solo hit on “The Edge Of Glory” and did air-sax along with it. I had just had an appendectomy four days earlier and was hopped up on painkillers. It was like seeing God.
Oh, wait, also: David Bowie at the Beacon Theatre on his Five Boroughs tour of NYC. Small venue for him, unbelievable show, maybe my best concert ever.
Okay, all of these concerts you've listed are amazing, but this is the first I've felt actual jealousy over.
I saw Bowie a few times and THAT IS A FLEX.
