Short list of favorites:
Best View, Kona
Best Food, St. Thomas
Favorite Single Display Item, Wash DC (signed handwritten music from Sgt. Pepper's LHCB)
Display that set me on my heels: Baltimore, concert flyer from Fort Worth for Jimi Hendrix last US tour: I was at the concert (May 9, 1970).
First HRC for me was Wash DC, most recent Puerto Vallarta
I was at the Jimi Hendrix concert in Fort Worth also. It was at Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum. I think it cost $4.
My older brother attended also; he claims that he convinced Stevie Ray Vaughn to do some Hendrix covers back when they were both in Double Trouble.
I enjoy looking at the memorabilia; I have been more impressed than I was at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It is really fun to walk around and point at all the groups that I saw in my younger and wilder days: Clapton, Hendrix, the Stones, Led Zepplin ...
