Alexandra Rubin – Edwards Angell Palmer &
Dodge "Hands down, NKOTBSB at Fenway Park on June
12, 2011. As any of my friends would attest, when New
Kids on the Block reunited for their 2008 concert, I thought
that was the ultimate memorable experience, but boy was I
wrong. This concert was special because 1) it was at
Fenway and 2) they teamed up with the Backstreet Boys,
something that I've been wishing would happen since junior
high. Even though it was pouring, both bands definitely
proved that they're still 'larger than life' and still have
'the right stuff!'"

Eric J. Krathwohl - Rich May "Thanks
for getting me to think of many fond memories. It's fun to
recall all the great musical experiences over the years --
rock, bluegrass, jazz, and classical in concert halls, clubs
and open fields. Though I must give a shout out to my friend
Mark Earley and Roomful of Blues and summer Crane's Castle
concerts, I'll say a 2002 Evening at Pops with the 'Fiddlers
Three'. Three fantastic female violinists playing together and
solo in their respective classical, Jazz and Celtic
styles. It was an electrifying performance and a
wonderful venue."

Alexis B. Kaplan - McCaig Law
Offices "I'll always remember a performance by
Mandy Patinkin that I attended as a teenager with my
mom. While I was not interested in his Yiddish songs
that brought an older crowd to the theater, I suddenly perked
up for his rendition of the all important lines from 'The
Princess Bride,' 'Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed
my father. Prepare to die.' The rest of the audience, however,
did not seem to share my enthusiasm as they did not know the
reference."

Mitchell A. Bragg - Ascentage Law "When
I was 16 I went to see KISS and Ted Nugent with my dad.
They were both bands he had seen when he was my age at the
time. It was a great father-son experience that I will
never forget for the music and the show itself."

Lindsey A Burton - Litle & Co "My
most memorable concert was when I saw Dave Matthews Band at
Red Rocks Amphitheater outside Denver. There’s just something
magical about listening to great music at Red Rocks, it is
really indescribable!"

 |
Noah Winkeller – Attorney at Law "The
most memorable concert I have attended was a WBCN River Rave I
went to while in high school. There were a number of
good bands that played at the event and I thought the Stone
Temple Pilots and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones put on great
shows in particular."

Michelle Kalas – Prince Lobel
Tye "Yo-Yo Ma at the Smithsonian's Folklife
Festival. I have never been able to get tickets to see
him in Boston, and I was in a small tent 20 feet away from
him!"
