day 07 - a song that reminds you of a certain event

May 19, 2011 12:00

Metallica's Welcome Home (Sanitarium) always reminds me of Summer Sanitarium Tour 2003. The line up (in order): Mudvayne, Deftones, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, METALLICA.

BEST FUCKING CONCERT OF MY LIFE.

I was 22; Liz was 15 (her first concert!). We were standing for over 12 hours, with nothing to eat/drink except for a sandwich and a cup of water at the beginning of the 12 hours, and then the water that the awesome security staff poured into our mouths (or over our heads) during/between shows. We were lucky to be in the third row at the beginning, and then on the barrier by the end of Limp Bizkit's set.

I have never been so dehydrated, hot, suntanned, deaf, bruised, tired, close to fainting, and fucking elated in my life.

Me and Liz, in the Port Authority bathroom, exhausted, after returning on the bus from Giants Stadium. (We still had to take a train to Queens, then a bus, and then walk half a mile to my parents' house.)



Favorite lines: they keep me locked up in this cage / can't they see it's why my brain says rage
