Re: favorite rock n roll moment?

[Jonathan Kaye <jk8>]

my favorite moment took place in 1984. i was going to see r.e.m for the 
first time at the aragon ballroom in chicago. they opened with the 
velvet underground's "femme fatale" (which i hate to admit but i wasn't 
familiar with at the time). it was pretty mellow and an ok, start to a 
show by the band that would eventually become my favorite. they finished 
"femme fatale" and immediately segued into "radio free europe" and after 
the immediate recognition of the song the floor bowed and the place went 
wild. the feeling of the floor and the entire crowd reacting lives with 
me still.
