I Totally remember the GREEN tour. We all went to this concert, “the gang” and we had a blast. I remember a bunch of us going to this concert, and I think it was when I first met Kate (at least I think so). I don’t know why I remember it like this.
I remember we were dancing in the aisles of the Spectrum, which is no longer called the spectrum, I believe. I’m sure old school philly-ites still call it the Spectrum, but it’s known as the Wachovia Center I think? Perhaps someone from Philly can set me straight since I live on the opposite side of the states now. Anyways, we were in the aisles dancing just like in the video. I Totally remember that and I remember I didn’t feel like a dork at all. Which was a change.
I think this concert may have been my first “real” concert. I say “real” because I had seen a number of concerts at Six Flags Great Adventure when I worked there. I heard Bon Jovi at GA too. I say “heard” because I was working and the concert stadium was very close. But I digress.
I don’t remember if I knew what to expect from my first concert in a real concert stadium, but I was reluctant to have any fun I think. I remember that much. But in the end, I had a blast. I think that might have been one of the best times I ever had, and that’s saying something because I’ve had a lot of fun in my life.
It just wouldn’t be a soundtrack for my life if I didn’t at least include the video for the song. I remember there was a lot of controversy about this song, something about the nipples and Michael Stipe just had to show his. It was pretty damn funny I think. Enjoy. (yes, there is an ad before the video – live with it, you can wait to see the video) Video after the bump.
