RE: What's given you the most musical pleasure: live or recorded?

While attending college, watching the Cleveland Orchestra in the flesh, from 1980 to 1985, back when it was the best symphony orchestra on the planet...... Saw them on roughly 40 separate occasions.

The best of these was when I saw Erich Leinsdorf doing Stravinsky's "Firebird" Suite...... It was electric. (Nothing on a stereo system comes remotely close.) The big "bass drum thwack" about midway through the piece..... I remember the Severance Hall patrons assuming different positions in their seats for about a five second period afterwards......
