The best concert at Headliners

After it was announced that Headliners Music Hall is for sale, we asked our readers to tell us their top memories at the venue. Here were some of our favorite responses:
“The White Stripes before they broke big. It was so crowded you could pick your feet up and not fall down!” — Reader Rob S.
“I had my first kiss at the Moon Taxi concert right before they got kinda big.” — Reader Joann K.
“Seeing Modern English there after a rain out at Waterfront Park.” — Reader Darren R.
And then a very special shout out to Reader Karl H. who went to Headliners for the first time in an altered state and “thought the plane outside had just crashed.” Happens to the best of us, Karl. But if you’re curious, the plane went down several decades ago.
A pair of buttery soft joggers. They’re available in 16 different colors, including posh pastels like pink suede and mint green that are perfect for spring.
There’s nothing worse than learning I missed out on some cool vinyl, and misery loves company so...
I looked into that White Stripes concert at Headliners, and it turns out there was a special LP with a live recording of the 2001 performance... which you can no longer purchase.
The silver lining? It looks like a YouTube channel uploaded a video of the vinyl. Is it pathetic to watch a video of a vinyl of a concert I didn’t attend?
