I notice how people dress in a nice casual clothing at the performance that you show. I always wear a coat and tie at such occasions and it's nearly always a very nice suit. I think I've only worn a sport coat with tie once and a dark blue blazer with tie on about two occasions. Once, while in Seattle, my wife and I went to one of the four Ring operas. I wore my best suite while my wife wore a vibrant blue sequined dress with a silver sequined clutch purse and her pearl jewelry. I swear, every male attendee there turned their heads to get a glimpse of her. We were in our 40s. Maybe it's because when I was a tot, my father would always put on one of his two best suits when he attended the live theater. Maybe it's a recollection of that that makes me want to dress up to go to any of the live arts. I miss the old days.
We've only been to two ballets, one was performed by the Bolshoi and the other was a performance of the Nutcracker, which I wasn't that crazy about but my wife loved. Both events were here in Portland.
I've been to a lot of symphonies but not lately. Would love to see another good one since I got my two nice suits which I picked up Wednesday so now I have four. I used to have more because I wore them to work at Boeing. Office workers at Boeing always overdress.
Do the clothes make the man or does the man make the clothes? I dunno, but I know that I am a little more polite when I dress up and I like being polite.

I've been to several symphonies as well as museum feature openings. Like you I wore my best for these occasions. It certainly is a lot of fun!
 
Here are a couple from the 60's from yet another band out of the Bay area. Quicksilver Messenger Service



 
Couple friends of mine in this band! They were pretty good.

Marty Stites, lead singer for Portland bands The Warloks and later River, passed away the morning of April 21, 2011 after a long battle with bone cancer. Possessed of irrepressible positive attitude and boundless energy he will be sorely missed. The Portland music scene was a much brighter place and blessed by Marty’s presence. God speed Marty
