I'm a bit afraid of crowds but faced my discomfort to see her. Some people did cocaine next to me which was the last straw for me to go full anxiety mode, but as soon as Björk entered the stage I started crying and continued for half the set list, while screaming the lyrics.
It is now one if my favorite memories <3

In December 2017 I went to a local festival in my city that was one day only and I saw cage the elephant live and that was one of the best concert experiences I’ve had to this day. I also saw Green Day earlier that year (primarily to watch catfish and the bottlemen open for them) and I was really pleasantly surprised with how great of a show they put on.
When I moved to NYC the first concert I saw here was weyes blood, about six months after titanic rising came out, and it was one of the few times I’ve cried at a show. One of my first “post-Covid” shows was japanese breakfast at brooklyn steel, and that show just felt so whole and I think about it often.
I got to see IDLES’ sold out Bowery ballroom show earlier this year and that one was just so fun and memorable for me. Love a good mosh pit, love a room full of people who are all there because they love the artist/band just as much as you do. Julia Jacklin’s solo acoustic show earlier this year was hauntingly beautiful and it made me a bigger fan of her for sure.
Sorry this is 6 concerts but this is technically my top 10% so I think that’s good enough.

... in 2018 with my ex like two months after we broke up because we booked the tickets the year before like FOOLS.
I was really heartbroken, and was fantasising hard about us getting back together at the gig, like some sort of 500 Days of Summer tribute act. Alas, it became clear the break up was the right thing to have done for us both.
B&S were incredible as always, they’re a really special band for me. But the above revelation had the potential to ruin my night, and it would have, had I not been positioned in the perfect seat when the band invited audience members up on stage for their final song (Boy with the Arab Strap, obvi). I absolutely leapt at the chance to leave the seat next to my ex early and had a moment of absolute complete joy dancing on that stage.
My friend sat further back took a video of me and it’s truly one of my most prized digital possessions [screenshot attached — that’s me in the red and blue!]. I like to watch it when I’m sad and know that art and dancing will make me better, always <3333

One of the things I like the most about Pi.fyi and the current scale of users is that it's still noticeable when a rec was inspired by another.
Sometimes the rec directly mentions the other, but other times you can kinda assume that reading an especific thing here triggered a memory or an ideia.
It's very cute and interesting to notice the small influences interacting with other humans online can have.
