As of January 2019, I've gone to 4+1 concerts.
My first one was Jean Michel Jarre at Teatre del Liceu, in 2008 (man, time flies). It was the tour of the 30th anniversary of Oxygene, probably his best known album, and since it was the first time he came to my city since I was born, me and my family went to see him as a group. When his masterpiece of Oxygene 4 started playing it was like entering Nirvana.
In 2012, we went to Berlin for the first time with the only idea to see Scooter performing at the O2 Stadium. They're my favorite band, so I was incredibly excited. Their music and energy put everybody to dance and shout like there's no tomorrow, and even before entering the place we were already singing aloud some of their best songs.
In 2016, Jean Michel Jarre returned to our city, this time promoting his twin album Electronica. He performed within the acclaimed Sonar Festival, where many of the greatest bands have been present over its 25 years of history. He played some of the most amazing songs of those albums, mainly the ones he made with Armin Van Buuren and Edward Snowden, and he conquered our hearts when he got closer to the audience to summon his laser harp. And well, because he's a master at fanservice, he couldn't forget his lifetime masterpieces like Oxygene, so all in all it was an extraordinary experience.
In 2018, I attended the Sonar Festival for the second time, because it was spearheaded by no other than Gorillaz. I admit I haven't listened to many of their songs, but I love their style and the concert was spectacular. Damon Albarn constantly got close to the audience to hype us even more, and the many artists that appeared on stage as collaborations made it something special.
I said 4+1 because my father is good friends with the leader of a local band called Versión Imposible. Said leader is a master of copying voices from many artists, and he improvises on stage like no other (hence why they call themselves Impossible Version). They held a special performance for my father's 60th birthday with most of my family and my father's friends present, and it was magnificent.
The list will grow this summer, because I already have tickets for Rammstein. I haven't heard of them coming to Barcelona before, and I've followed them for more than a decade, so it's going to be something special. They have a new album incoming in Spring, which they will focus on during the concert, so I'm incredibly hyped to finally get to see them live and without having to leave my city.
