Ok so this year I get to pick a concert anywhere in the US and my girlfriend and I are going to fly out and make a weekend (or mid week) of it.
I want to base my decision not only a great band or artist, but also a great venue.
Two years ago it was Derek Trucks playing with his wife and the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra at the Jacoby Hall. It was a tremendous concert.
I was thinking about going to New York and checking out something at the Blue Note or the Village Vanguard, or maybe check out something at Red Rocks. Maybe Austin for the festival there. I like almost everything out there so this isn't easy.
Any suggestions? Where was the best show you have been to? Who was the best act? And if any of you wise guys say the Beatles or somebody who died, har har in advance.
An edit... I'm going to the Langerado Music Festival in March so that date is booked.
