All of this friendly banter reminds me of what could have been the best concert I "ever been to": 40+ years ago, I had a lady friend who was (without any doubt) The Number One Neil Diamond Fan in the Known Universe. Neil Diamond was coming to OKC. I went to--I think it was Heritage Park Shopping Center--where there was a ticket outlet (J.C. Penny? Sears? Montgomery Ward?) to try to get a couple of tickets. There was a short line outside the commercial sliding glass doors prior to the Official Opening. The person in front of me, in line, got to select two seats on the front row. I asked if they had a couple more of those. They did! (it was fairly close to a miracle)

It was a really good concert. Neil was just past his peak. (at least in my non-Neil Diamond In The Round fan opinion.)
It was really good mostly on account of the musicians and the sound crew, live/no lip-synch/dubbing.
I'd already heard all those songs too many times to remember or be impressed by those alone.
