re: Best concert you ever attended?

Other than always the last one I attended -- live music brings me joy -- it's a tie between The Civil Wars and Nickel Creek, both at Birmingham's Alabama Theater.

The first because we knew something was very wrong and that we would likely not ever see them together again, the second because we had thought the same thing for 15 years when Nickel Creek went on hiatus. At NC, folks all around me were in tears at the end of the show, tears of joy at being able to see them one more time.
