My favorite local band was The Skunks, of Cheap Girl fame. I saw them on many Saturday nights around the Austin club scene.
Cool.. I remember back in the late 90s he had a standing gig every Sunday night at the Continental Club... we'd stay across the street at the Austin Motel... Those were good times in Austin...
Does anyone remember the Armadillo World Headquarters for concerts back in the day, or am I the only old geezer that does?

I cried at a concert before. Where, when and what for is my business.

Story time. So I went with a girl I had been dating to a John Mayer show at the Wharf in Gulf Shores. She was a crazy John Mayer fan and I was 'meh'. Didn't even own a single song he'd ever recorded. I wasn't expecting much, I knew some of his songs but only the popular ones.
He stood up on that stage, and what spewed forth was some of the most amazing, soulful guitar playing I have ever heard. He was tripping balls I later learned, but I pretty much listened to him make love to his guitar and I would kill to hear it again.
Gravity was a 3 minute song. He added a 10 minute guitar solo that almost (Read: Definitely) made me cry.

The U2 performance at the Super Bowl when they scrolled the names of the 9/11 victims on the screen. That one got me.

Bela Fleck & the Flecktones - Sunset Road
When I saw them at the House of Blues in N.O. last year, it was pretty much a religious experience.

John Boutte sang Ave Maria a few weeks ago at St. Augustine Church. Beautiful. I was at Jazz Fest also the year after Katrina, and saw Springsteen. Yeah - man enough to admit that I cried.

Amazing piece of music right there.
I'd have to say the only time I remember crying at a live performance was when I saw Pierce Pettis sing Stickman.

I don't think any performances have until I saw Pearl Jam this year at Music Midtown. There were several moments mainly because it was my first time to see them.
Black gets me a lot when I hear it. My son went to the show with me, and I would hold him up during his favorite songs. I was holding him on my side during Black, and we sang the "I know someday you'll have a beautiful life....." part to each other. I know that I had tears streaming by that point.
