James,

Rory Gallagher, GnR and Ziggy Marley in the 90's. Gallagher died around 6 month after the concert.
Jane played live around two years ago. shortly after the concert the leadsinger Peter Panka passed away.

i'm not asking for a special year. it can be any concert you want. a concert that impressed you most.

Hi Alex,

I thought the year might give a 'context' because what turned us on in the 80"s may not do so now. My first speakers were LaScala's and no one could have told me there was anything better at the time!
