Gary Asks, Part II. "What's the most memorable live performance you've ever seen? Music, theater, comedy, whatever. "

Oh. Dear. So difficult.

Music:

• Squeeze at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh (I've heard it's gone now). It was a shallow arena, so it felt very intimate and when they divided up the audience to sing Black Coffee in Bed it was a heart-stoppingly amazing feeling.
• I also very clearly remember going to see Rick Springfield at Carnegie Hall in NYC. Sat 2nd row from the back in the top balcony. The girls behind me had a banner that said, "We love you RICK!" There were maybe three people with a Y chromosome in the audience.
• The Weavers Reunion at Carnegie Hall.
• Gary Oxford at Jammin' Java.
  

Theatre:

• Peter Pan (yes, with Sandy Duncan. I was nine).
  
• Pump Boys and Dinettes
• Comedy of Errors with The Flying Karamazov Brothers ("I've got a mole on my shoulder!)
• Juggling and Cheap Theatrics (ditto) (can't find video, alas)
• My first-cousin-once-removed doing the Russian dance in The Nutcracker at Kennedy Center.
  

Comedy:

• The Lemming Project (you can see one member of this now-defunct group in Innocent Blood)
  
• Christine Lavin
