Chris Whitley opening for Tom Petty. We had never heard of him at that point. He sang “Dust Radio” and it was pretty much a religious experience. Gone far too soon.

The White Stripes performing Jolene. It was raw and electrifying.

I saw The Roots in Central Park as the sun set in June 2000. Black Star made a surprise appearance and did Definition.

I was a senior in HS and life was amazing.

I saw them in 2005. Good show, for a stadium show.

He wasn’t really famous yet, but we all knew we were seeing something really cool. It was a year or so before he was declared “the future of rock and roll” but none of us there that night needed a reporter to tell us what we were seeing with our own eyes.


Wow! One of my favorites was seeing him open with Purple Rain the week Prince died.

I saw them at the Spectrum I’m Philadelphia, possibly the same tour!

Yes, the whole place smelled of pot.

Paul Oakenfold at Nation. He did a remix of Led Zeppelin's Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, then mixed it into MLK's I Have a Dream speech.

I'm terribly sorry to harsh your mellow, but the capacity at MSG is only 20,000.

Yes, I was there, and it was lovely.
