我第一次去听现场摇滚音乐会是在我八岁的时候。我哥哥和他朋友都是一个叫做“黑色星期三”的重金属乐队的粉丝。当他们发现“黑色星期三”要来我们当地的剧院演出的时候，他们都买了看演出的票。然而，在最后一刻，哥哥的一个朋友不能去了，因此哥哥把票给了我。我真地很激动！
我现在还记得当我们找到座位的时候，剧院内人们兴奋的嘈杂声。过了几分钟，灯熄灭了，每个人都变得安静起来。在黑暗中，我只能分辨出舞台。我们就等着。然后，当第一批乐队成员走上舞台时，人群中突然发出大叫声，好像爆炸声一样。我哥朝我侧身并在我耳边说了些什么，但是我听不清楚（没能听到？）他在说什么。第一首歌已经开始了，音乐声音之大就好像喷气式飞机引擎发出的。在我的腹部我都能感觉到鼓的节拍和男低音的音调。
我现在回忆不起任何一首乐队当时演奏的歌曲了。我只记得我很喜欢那场演出，不想让它结束。但是这场表演在加演三场之后，最终还是结束了。我们离开剧院，我步履蹒跚地走在大街（人行道？）上，我感觉有点头晕，好像刚从冗长的睡眠中醒来一样。最后一首歌的节奏还在我的耳边响。
那场演出之后，在喜欢上其他类型的音乐之前的那些年，我也成了“黑色星期三”的粉丝。虽然如此，我现在还是时不时听他们的一首歌并想象自己又回到第一次看演出时的情景。
