Kealoha<p>The flyer from my very first concert. I was visiting my big brother in college on the mainland in Madison. While there, he took me to my first real show. James Brown blew my pubescent mind wide open and I’ve been addicted to live music since. <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/firstconcert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>firstconcert</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/jamesbrown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jamesbrown</span></a> <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/livemusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>livemusic</span></a></p>
WTL<p>The topic of first concerts we saw came up today and I was floored to realize that *today* is the thirtieth anniversary of my seeing Pink Floyd in concert at the Big O (Olympic stadium) in Montreal. </p><p>What a band to see live. And really set expectations way too high for other concerts. </p><p>What was your first concert? </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FirstConcert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FirstConcert</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Music</span></a></p>

Throughout the concert, Debbie was drinking water from red plastic Solo cups. After the concert ended and people were leaving, my mom made her way to the stage where staff were cleaning up and asked for one of the used cups. She got one and gave it to me, and I kept it for YEARS. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/FirstConcert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FirstConcert</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DebbieGibson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DebbieGibson</span></a></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/4T1t5OFOYDU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/4T1t5OFOYDU</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

I can’t stack experiences against each other like that. One amazing one that comes to mind was maybe ten years ago. A couple of German guys, Georg Schroeter and Marc Breitfelder — keyboardist/singer and harmonica player — at a tiny blues club in San Francisco. Crazy gorgeous, crazy intense. Haunts me.</p>
