Have you ever cried during a live performance?

I've come close to crying at gigs, but it's usually along the lines of, "all the time, money, and effort I've put into drumming and I still sound like this?" It especially happens when I listen to recording of myself. I really have cried listening to recordings of myself.
 
I cried the first time I saw Coltrane play live, at a place called the Birdhouse in Chicago. He was introducing a new song for him: "My Favorite Things." Trane's 20 minute solo was amazing, and McCoy Tyner's solo AND comping made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

The next time I cried was 20 years later when I saw Tyner play live at Shelly's Manne Hole in Hollywood with his trio and he did a very old song for him: "My Favorite Things." Woman I was with thought I was insane.

Fucking amazing what those two guys could do, together and apart, to what otherwise is, to me, just another "Broadway Song Nothing To Hear Move On Move On."

As great as Whitney is, and she really is something, Jordin always seems to open the gates for me too, I'm such a loser...
I remember when this first aired, when the football announcer came back on, I was all wet, and this guy said NOT ONE WORD about that stirring version of the song. What an unfeeling twit.
