2002 In Review: Readers' Memorable Live Shows
2003-01-23
All told we received more than 150 essays from readers on their favorite shows of the year. We ultimately selected twenty of them to run. Some we liked the account, some we liked the selection. Bonnaroo and Widespread Panic tended to elicit the most powerful essays, and so there are a preponderance of them below (and there's a marriage proposal story in there as well) In random order here they are...
