My first day in undergrad, I made one of those friends you hang out with for the first month or so before inevitably drifting apart to different social circles.

My first day in undergrad, I made one of those friends you hang out with for the first month or so before inevitably drifting apart to different social circles. His dad happened to have (really expensive) tickets through work to see Rush in our city the next month on the Clockwork Angels tour but couldn't use them. I'd never been to a concert before at that point. Holy crap! That show changed and enhanced what I appreciated in music so much. It's still easily the most technically impressive show I've seen. I don't listen to Rush as much as I used to but I think about them and that concert often.
