the first "real" concert i went to was anthony b somewhere in town, think it was 97. i have a pardna also called anthony and at a certain point he started to scream when anthony b started singing one of his selections (cant remember which). ppl looked at him like he was mad.
i say my first real concert b/c all thru the nineties when i was coming of age my uncle used to have a backyard jam in the back of my grandparents house in marabella on the tuesday before carnival. it was a big fete with all them expatriate trinis, i cant remember which other calpysonians was there but i know for sure iwer and sugar aloes made appearances over the years. i remember one year i shake sugar aloes hand (if you see gold), iwer used to be on the bill long before he start to sing a set of tata. as a matter of fact my uncle told me a few years ago he saw iwer and told him as much ("iwer boy, u singing sh!t)
i used to be stumbling around pres the day after, fuss i was tired.
