Living all my life in Boston I've attended both on many, many occasions.
Symphony Hall is one of the best venues in the country. I've been there five
times this season, most recently to see Bobby McFerrin - a great show,
especially with the Symphony Hall acoustics.

However, the July 4th event on the river is a spectacle not to be missed, at
least a few times. For a number of years I worked in the boathouse directly
across from the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade. Perfect seats for the fireworks,
but we used the TV and radio to bring in the concert.

I haven't gone over to watch the concert in a few years - only the first 200,000
get good seats. Last year we watched the concert on TV on our boat, moored in
Salem Harbor waiting for their fireworks.
