So i was thinking about the first song i heard live and i wondered with such a large amount of fans here i began to wonder what some of your first song experieneces were and when.
Mine was Oceans in Columbus 2010
Lucky you, it took me 40 shows to hear Oceans, also in Columbus. My first song was "of the girl".

It was my cousins 9th show and his first time hearing Oceans. He also was a little jealous that i heard Alive at my first show it took either 5 or 6 shows to hear Alive. He said the band went on a Alive hiatius for awhile.
But judging by everyones first song Oceans is a special song to hear live and i am happy i heard and everytime i listen to the boot from the concert i smile so big each time.
