“What’s the best concert you’ve ever seen?”
– My buddy, Tom Gelin, last night at Austin City Limits Music Festival
It’s also one of my favorite “conversation starters,” when out with clients or in a setting where the same ol’ topics are no longer useful.
I love the thought — and the realization that the setting, timing, life circumstances and any number of other factors can alter my answer to the question, depending on how and when it’s asked.
Earth, Wind & Fire is the easy answer if I think about the best musical performance.
BTO, Heart and Trooper was the first live performance I ever saw.
The Rainmakers moved me with the sheer energy of their performance and the originality of the songs and style.
Recently, Mrs. H and I took in the Eagles, and the nostalgia (not to mention the quality) of their performance will stay with me for a long, long time.
There are a couple dozen others worth recalling.
Artists whose performances impacted, altered, or improved my life.
Do our performances — in business, in life, in the various roles we’re called upon to play, and the various stages upon which we stand — impact, alter or improve –a.k.a. make a difference for the folks who come to see us play?
