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.

looking back now, i am vex i missed that concert, that time i wasn't exposed to bunny and i didn't know his greatness. that plus the fact that he does not like to tour means i missed a golden opportunity to see him, but say what, such is life. i was in lower six then and a pardna of mine who we used to call 'fergie' went with his dad (who at the time was a dean at st. benedict's) and he said the concert was good but his dad didn't like the fact that it had so much weed in the air ;D

Outfields song Your Love "JOSIE's ON A VACATION FAR AWAY..." was playing non stop in trini fuh months around that concert.
The funny thing i notice was i never seen so many Stone Cold Steve Austin T-shirts in one place before....i guess trini rock fans were also big wrestlings fans  ;D
