one of the nicest live shows i recall was seeing Roy Orbison at the Lone Star Cafe' in NYC, early 80s. hearing that voice up close .. unreal. beautiful!
  11:58am
Linda Lee:

also saw Tom Petty up close at the Bottom Line, right after the first record. a great, raw show! very high energy. we were right up close. can't forget the way he pointedly flirted with my 16 year old companion throughout the show. no tryst resulted, but she was thrilled.

I'm sure I have a lot of Allen Toussaint productions but not many records he made as an artist. Must rectify that.
