A rite of passage, a defining event, a catalyst of musical and personal epiphanies--a concert is an experience unlike any other. In The Show I"ll Never Forget, writer Sean Manning has gathered an amazing array of unforgettable concert memories from a veritable A-list of acclaimed novelists, poets, biographers, cultural critics, and songwriters. Their candid, first-person recollections reveal as much about the writers" lives at the time as they do about the venues where the shows occurred or the artists onstage.
