First show.
Okay, I was watching the musicians during the first song when the acid started to manifest.
I watched the lead guitarist play, and as he played, a condensation of notes had formed from the area around his fingers up into a wildly active paisley cloud right above him.
Shortly thereafter this cloud of lightning/energy slowly floated out above the crowd and right over my head where it burst and rained those musical notes all over me.
That's when the trip began.
I shuffled out into hallway, but the hallway was the bathing ghats on the river Ganges.
Then I circumnavigated the arena all night with the other hallway people. And you know who you are!
Many interesting features that night as you can imagine.
Showed up a little late and had a hell of a time finding parking as a Eagles/Redskins game (the Eagles loss) was just letting out.
I started seeing shows in 1983 and this was my first Scarlet->Fire (although I saw both numerous times before, never in the classic combo). A very fun show - the Aiko, Stranger->Franklin's opening was also mighty fine.
My first show too. I can't believe I remember it as well as I do.
