[QUOTE="InDaAZ, post: 1868393, member: 528754"] Nobody has mentioned all the top-tier concerts that have taken place in the Hall (it will always be [I]the[/I] Assembly Hall to me…). I’ve been to quite a few - seeing Journey with Steve Perry (‘80 / ‘81?) running all over the stage, jumping on & off huge speakers, all while keeping his breath control for that signature voice of his is one of my memories. James Taylor was my favorite show there… so personable & connected with the audience, and his voice somehow sounded better live than on his recordings. Speaking of JT, there’s the story that came out about a janitor doing his work after the show. He’s in the bowels of the AH, and he hears noises when he thinks he’s all alone. He follows the sound to the laundry area, and there’s JT at the dryer cleaning the lint screen after pulling out the shirt he wore for the concert. The dude was doing his laundry! Very humble man… Does anyone here have a favorite AH concert memory? [/QUOTE]
