When I was around 22, I was running monitor sound for B.B. King one night in Boston. It was a multi-night engagement so the rental equipment was left set up. After the first show I was noodling around with a guitar left onstage. BB and his band came up from the green room after eating some southern food. BB walks over to me and asks if I want to trade picks (gave me his pick with his name on it) and we proceeded to jam on blues for a good hour or two in a nice theater with great acoustics with just the "crew" hangin out.
After this night I decided, as a guitar player, it wasn't going to get much better than that for me , and chose to only play guitar for fun as opposed to making a living from it...and really started to concentrate on the engineering/producing side.
I've had a lot of highlight's before and since, but this stands out to be the single biggest thrill.
