I don’t tell this story very often – I dunno why – maybe because I like to keep it inside. Like it is mine. I don’t even have this story on my own website or tumblr blog - it is almost feels like I will lose something if I tell or share it too much. I know it sound odd doesn’t it?? So, I am gonna take my time to really tell it well. My little story has two significant memories for me. My time with Michael and my Uncle Oliver.
I was 16 when I saw Michael and his brothers. It was October 7th, 1984, and I remember it was the day before thanksgiving in Canada and it was the last of 3 sold out shows they had here.
I was so excited when my mom had gotten a ticket for me to go with my “Uncle Oliver”. My uncle Oliver was actually my mom’s co-worker – who just so happened to be a huge Jackson fan.
Oliver was a former DJ and was around my mom’s age. He had seen the Jackson’s numerous times when he was living in the United States. I remember when he gave me the Jackson’s Live from the Triumph Tour – and he told me he taped /mixed it special for my birthday when he saw them in Detroit. (Trust me… I believed that story for a very VERY long time – not knowing it was an actual album.) He knew everything about them and he was my Jacksons connection.
Anyway the first thing that I remember about the concert was how cold it was. It was in an outdoor stadium close to Lake Ontario. Our weather can go either way in October – and it was a bit chilly down by the lake.
For months in advance I could not contain my excitement – I was non-stop monologue of Michael this and Michael that… I am sure it was annoying to everyone… except Oliver of course – but when we got there – I was nothing but so cold and I was complaining and trying to hard to figure out how I was gonna see anything and getting all upset.
And then the lights went off… and it sounded really windy and I thought... great it is gonna rain... and then, and then something happened. Oliver hosted me on my chair and I totally forgot about being cold, I forgot who I was with I think I totally forgot where I was.
I forgot everything but Michael..
He was there, right there… and when he started to sing, I started to cry. I wasn’t balling… just continuous tears rolling – it was like seeing something you couldn’t believe existed.
It was a totally overwhelming experience – It was like – I dunno – like everything stopped moving except him, including my heart – and I remember it was hard to breath and honestly sometimes I don’t remember hearing anything – it was total sensory overload for that little girl’s heart.
I know I sound dramatic – but this is what I remember. I mean – when I think and write/read this now – I still get those 16 year old girl butterflies in my tummy and my eyes are filled with tears… it is a true love crush I still feel – nothing replaces that feeling.
He was and remains my first love. And I have the biggest grin on my face!
Sometimes I wish I had been just a little bit older to appreciate what I was seeing, but honestly I don’t think it would have made difference – it was pretty powerful.
One part of the concert I do remember very well – probably because Oliver was shaking me with excitement to pay attention - is when they did Shake Your Body… I FREAKING LOVE THAT SONG. It is that very song that made me fall head over heels for Michael Jackson without the Jackson 5 / Jacksons.
I remember – super shiny glitter Mike – dancing, shaking his thang, moonwalking, and sidewalking all over the place… Aooooooowww – it makes me blush when I think how excited that made me… or makes me! It was awesome. And of course I cried – but I remember clapping and singing – it was amazing!
That night is one of my fondest memories of my uncle Oliver, who died in 1992 from complications from HIV. All the years after, until he passed away, every time we saw each other it was what we talked about. I remember when Michael passed and my mom and I were talking a few weeks later… I said I wonder if Oliver is spinning his records. She laughed and said, what a great memory…. I hope that he is… and it better be Shake Your Body!
Below is the concert review I rescued from my old scrapbook when I was visiting my parents this past spring… I still can’t believe my good fortune that my mom kept all my favourite memories in a box! I made it large so you could read it... I hope that is okay.
Please feel free to edited if need be!

To be honest, there is not much I can say about the Munich concert, except for he got me. He so got me. So far away yet so close. He breathed the same air as I did and his aura, his being, his strength and vitality just got a grip on me and never let go of me again. What is it that I do remember? The beginning of the moonwalking feet with a thousand lamps and the fog that allowed the Greatest Entertainer on Earth to "appear" on stage.
Munich 1988 did not long stand alone. In the same year I was allowed to go to Linz, Austria for the concert on 6 September. I remember a bit more from that one, because we were in the pit and I was on the shoulders of my uncle. So I really SAW him. Not just on the video screens ;-) I cannot believe it has been such a long time ago. I felt the bass vibrations, I saw his sweat, I felt his presence.
In my life I have been blessed, fortunate, lucky and forever thankful having been to 46 concerts at the Bad, Dangerous and History Tours. I will treasure these experiences forever, and regret forevermore that I cannot do it again.
But I know I am lucky indeed having experienced divinity in motion.

You are all very, very lucky to have seen Michael.
How I so wish that I could also share with you an experience of my own...
But unfortunately, that isn't the case with me.
However, came so close to a "concert experience"... but I guess not

I love Warsaw. My love, Michael Jackson, picked me out of the crowd to come and meet and talk to him on 19 September 1996. <3<3<3<3<3<3 And the sparkling eyes when he got some of my presents the day before were just heaven... HEAVEN. God, I want to go back!
