Posted a comment on a concert:
This was one of the very first concerts I ever went to. I almost didn’t even make it bc I was broke and prob borrowed money from a friend or, begged my mom for a couple bucks. I’m so f glad I made it bc I’ve seen a LOT of concerts and for some reason, this performance, on this night, STILL remains one of my all time favorites!! I don’t know HOW in the hell I managed to hold onto some of my concert stubs, especially this one bc it was such a long time ago (for me anyway)!! I can’t remember a whole lot except I think I dressed like an idiot. That was all going to change after that! Ha ha. Bc I was very petite back then I managed to squeeze and plead my way closer to the front. For anyone that isn’t familiar with the layout, there is none! It’s a wide, open field and you know what that means!! Despite all the horrific things that happen at concerts now with no assigned seats, I don’t think there were any issues?? I was really young so if someone else had a very different experience, I apologize. This is my story. This is how I remember it. And it was FUCKING AWESOME!!! Guys were actually nice and not groping. I found someone with a cooler and before using it to get a great view, I reached in and found ice cold water. I started sprinkling people around me with it and hey, they were all loving it!! I made friends easily when I lived in Arizona. I’ve also lived in several states around the country and I can tell you that there really are some very cool people from Arizona. Some of my best and worst (nothing to do with my friends) memories were made in AZ. Back to my concert story…unreal. Could I have inhaled something inappropriate standing in the middle of that crowd? Possibly! lol Regardless of that, I think I had my wits about me enough to know that The Scorpions put on one helluva performance!! I looked back at one point and just saw a sea of people!! I couldn’t believe how many people were there!! And yeah, was there a helicopter hovering over all of us at one point? Maybe it was at Mötley Crüe, or I was trippin bc I swear I remember there being a helicopter there!! So I was wetting my hot and thirsty peeps all around me and having the time of my life!!! Incredible show, great memories, good vibes from all the people around me and my only regret (from that show) is being too broke to afford a T shirt. That was just something you HAD to have when you walked into school the next day LOL A badge of honor. Next level coolness that cannot be fully appreciated or understood by this generation. Well, perhaps? But there was something about rock concerts in the 80’s and 90’s that even this generation admits, was extraordinary!! And yes, it was.
