From a Nashville relief fest to Celine Dion to Iggy Pop at Carnegie Hall, these shows are burned into our memories as we wait for live music to come back
A year ago, our lives ground to a halt as Covid-19 spread across the U.S. Everything but essential businesses shut down, schools closed, and the music world stopped in its tracks.
