Memories Of My One And Only Rock Concert
I have only been to see one band in concert. It was Lit. Last May, Jefferson took me to see them at this little funky night club down on Hilton Head Island, SC. They were a cover band for Kid Rock who was playing in Savannah at the Civic Center.
We had went to the club the prior weekend. We normally partied in Savannah, but decided to go out the HHI for something different. Jefferson decided to pull in at the Blue Knight and have a few drinks and check it out. Once we got in there, we talked to one of the guys working there and he told us about the concert and told us to go ahead and get our tickets. So we got them and hung around awhile. There was to be a live band that night..Lawn Jockeys or something like that. They sucked but Jefferson seemed to like them some. We stayed awhile then left and went to Savannah.
The night of the concert I was really excited and nervous. I had never been to a concert before. I had only seen them in movies and on TV. Jefferson was pumped...He knew what was going to happen. He has been to untold numbers of concerts and was really looking forward to it.
So, we got there and there was this long long line. I was thinking, damn, where did all these people come from. Then a guy came out and said "If you already have your ticket form a line over here". So we quickly got in line and it moved really fast. We were inside and the electricity was in the air. I could feel the excitement. We ordered drinks and stood around talking until the cover band started. It was a girl band, and they were very good. I can't remember their name, but I know I enjoyed them very much.
Finally, Lit came on stage. Jefferson was wild and excited and jumping and yelling. I was taking it all in and laughing at him, and his high jinx. He really is this amazing man, when I look at him I am filled with love and wonder.
Then Lit began to play. OH my God, I was not prepared for how it would feel. I could feel the music in every organ inside my body. The place wasn't very big, so the music hit the back and bounced back on me and we got it twice, or at least that is how it felt.
I found myself a comfortable spot in the back next to the bar and stayed there drinking and watching. Jefferson would come to where I was and jump and scream in my face and hug on me wiping his sweat all over me....I loved it...Hahahaha. The he would say, "I'm going back in", and off he would go.
He would be keyed up when he would come back to check on me, one time he grabbed my hair and yanked my head back and just mauled my neck, I LOVED IT!!! Everyone around just laughed and made a comment on his level of excitement. I watched with adoration and he dove back into the crowd and disappeared once again.
He would try to get me to come with him, but I was overwhelmed by it all, I told him I just wanted to check it out and next time I would be more comfortable. I have never been to another concert. he is coming home soon, I wonder if I can talk him into taking me to another one.
Jefferson stole a poster and I still have it. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised at the whole thing and can't wait to do it again. I am just sorry I waited so long to go to a concert.
ROCK ON DUDE!!!
