I would have to say Itzhak Perlman was incredible even when I was sitting in the middle of the top balcony in BFE.
John Frederic West was the first live performance of vocal Wagner I had ever seen. Incredible that there are beings that are able to project their voice like he does. But then he sings a lot of Wagner from what I understand.
The last two are of my cello professor, Dr. Alan Smith (what? I feel loyal). First,when I was in 6th grade he performed Dvorak's Cello Concerto with the local community orchestra. This was the first time I had ever heard a cello live in my life, outside of HS people that played/tutored in the grade schools. I was sitting there realizing all a cello is capable of.
The second was in 1998 and was a pre-tour recital. His wife, Diana Smith was the pianist he performed with and she was amazing. The woman could do just about anything on a piano. And when they played it was intuitive and exactly together. I could see them actually playing together. Displaying how things should be . . .
Anyway. Those are mine.

I haven't heard all that many live performances, or at least not ones that are really special...

This seems like an oddly familiar question, but... you like Nightwish?

Yep. Not that they're my favourite ever band, but I like them quite a bit.

I saw Billy Joel in 1994 at the Palace of Auburn Hills (near Detroit).
