What was the most memorable concert you've ever been to? (Win Troubadour Festival tickets here!)
I love live music. Given the opportunity (and the funds), I'd go see live music every night of the week if I could. Whether it's the neighborhood dive bar, the town honky-tonk, or the arena or stadium in the big city, I love it all.
I guess if I'm a festival promoter for a living that should come as no surprise. But I can talk about live music with someone until I'm blue in the face. Throw in a few cold beers and that conversation could go all night.
Over the past three years of working on Troubadour Festival at Aggie Park, I've come to learn and witness a lot about live music in Bryan-College Station. Whether it's been about Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen, legendary shows at Harry's, or (of course) Chilifest, the area has a lot to talk about when it comes to live music.
I experienced my first Chilifest a few weeks ago. I went on Friday to see Hudson Westbrook, who is playing Troubadour Festival on May 17 (buy tickets here!), Treaty Oak Revival, Ole 60, and others. I was left almost speechless. I'll tell y'all one thing y'all know how to do it big down here in BCS.
This also made me want to ask: What's the most memorable concert you've ever been to? It doesn't have to be the biggest. It doesn't have to be country. It doesn't matter if no one else has heard of the artist except for you.
Leave a comment on this thread with your most memorable concert not only would I like to read them all, but I'm going to pick one winner to receive four Music tickets to the third Troubadour Festival on May 17 at Aggie Park with Shane Smith & The Saints, Randy Rogers & Wade Bowen on their Hold My Beer & Watch This Tour, 49 Winchester, Josh Meloy, and Hudson Westbrook. You'll get to see 'em all on the Wood Stage sponsored by Optimum.
Oh, want to hear mine? Maybe not, but I'm going to give it anyway. Actually, I'll give three because I can't narrow it down:
1. Pearl Jam, Wrigley Field, 2018
2. Jason Isbell, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, 2019
3. Uncle Lucius, Stanley's Famous Pit BBQ (Tyler, TX), 2012 (this was the show that inspired me to start a barbecue and country music festival)
Ready, set, go!
