Now that I've been writing a lot about music lately, it starts to itch again to be able to go to a live concert again. It's been so long. Not that that's the most important thing of course, let's all make sure we beat Covid-19.
I am thinking for a while what was the last concert I went to, I think that was Matt Andersen, together with my friend Rien. The concert was in Arnhem, near my hometown so little travel time :) This song really remains one of my favorites, note the details after the song. Rien is enthusiastic :)

Funny is that I can also remember my very first concert ever. That was Abba's concert in Rotterdam in 1979. Together with my mother. My poor father queued up all night for tickets at the time. Then nothing was digital yet. The funny thing is I can still remember it. A full hall where the mega group Abba performed, that was a piece of history.
The video below is from the Wembley concert, but this was the same tour I went to. Funny thing is that people never actually believe me when I say that I went to an Abba concert :)
Another concert that I will never forget, for several reasons, is the Pink Floyd concert in 1994 in De Kuip in Rotterdam. I actually had no intention of going there at all, until my brother and an acquaintance arrived at my door. They had a ticket left and if I wanted to go, I had to jump right in the car and go along. Well, I thought that was great of course. When we arrived in Rotterdam and were seated in the stadium I already got strange looks, I didn't know what for. When I went to get a drink someone yelled at me "you have guts", and he pointed to my t-shirt. It turns out, I was wearing an Ajax shirt and we were in the stadium of Feyenoord. Two clubs whose fans do not like each other at all .... Apparently they pay attention to this during a concert. Afterwards we laughed a lot about it.
Floyd still is awesome music, the guitar sound of David Gilmour is just awesome.....
Hacve a great night you all !!
