noodzaak-
news

With a memory like mine it is hard to make such a list. A cd or an lp can be listened to again and again if you are in doubt about the quality of the music. Each concert is a unique event, that cannot be experienced a second time.

On the other hand this uniqueness is one of the great charms of a concert: once judged "good" means "good" forever. Re-evaluating the quality of a show, like sometimes happens with albums or artists, is not possible. A great show from an artist who later is "dumped", will forever be a good show.

The following twelve concerts survived in my memory. Unfortuately
I can't recall the exact dates from all of the concerts.
