It is December 1, 1988. My favorite band the Scorpions performs. My first concert. Together with my two year younger sister, I am entering the Rijnhal (Arnhem) as a 16-year-old. The smell of sweat mixed with weed and cigarettes meets us. The Scorpions capture a place in my heart and never leave. We had many concerts at the front of the stage. Almost every Scorpions song is applicable to one of my childhood memories. Today is April 2, 2018. My favorarite Scorpions perform at Ziggodome Amsterdam. Together with my sister Adinda I will be there, accompanied by my son Miguel, thirteen years old. His first concert. How will it smell? How will he experience it? How will it be for my sister and me, almost 30 years later? We will soon experience it. Every moment there is an unique chance to meet openly. Fun facts: - Exactly 13 years ago the Scorpions played in the Brabanthallen (Den Bosch). My wife Charlotte went with me! ๐โค๏ธ - Yesterday exactly 40 years ago the Scorpions performed in Paradiso (Amsterdam). The sound recording can be found on YouTube. - Exactly 109 years ago, on April 2, 1909 my grandfather was born. Although he found war terrible, he called for not to hate an entire people; in any case, hatred was never a solution in his opninio. This day was therefore made possible by my grandfather ๐ #Scorpions #ZiggoDome
