The first time I saw Kishi Bashi was a magical experience even though I went by myself (surprise: I don't know many people who love his music). He was playing in the city where he went to college (Boston) and was super excited for that, the opener kind of sucked but at least had great stage banter so people were in a very good mood.

He goes on with his band with a stage looking like this and ends up playing the majority of the songs off of both of his albums, 151a and Lighght which are two of my favorite albums anyone has ever made. The crowd was incredibly mild and into the music and having a good time. It was one of his merch people's birthday, so we all sang happy birthday to her and they brought out a cake. At one point K. crowdsurfed while eating a banana in the middle of a song, and they covered Live and Let Die complete with confetti cannons.

Tons of amazing concert experiences but that one sticks out for some reason.

Oh and I once saw Paul McCartney at Yankee Stadium and Billy Joel came on for one of the two encores. I could type a lot about that but I think that's all that needs to be said about how incredible of a night that was.
