The first time I saw Drake in concert was on a college campus [1] in 2012: my friends and I made "YOLO" t-shirts [2] and were arguably the oldest people at the show. A year later, when Drake asked "Would You Like a Tour [3]?" my crew answered "Yes, please!" and made our way to Oakland's Oracle Arena [4] in the rain. By this time, "The Motto" was our motto (and go-to group karaoke song), and in 2014, the four of us attended our first outdoor Drake show when he and Lil Wayne went head to head on their Street Fighter-inspired joint tour [5]. My favorite park blanket got taken away by security that night, but I did get some pretty sweet merchandise [6].

This week, the gang and I headed back to Oracle Arena for our fourth Drake show together [7]. And because we're not brand new to this, we mapped out our evening pretty perfectly; dinner and Santa Margherita (by the liter [8]!) followed by a quick cocktail before getting to the venue. It was eerily calm and empty outside, and we couldn't understand why: did we manage to get our timing so precise that we missed every single line and crowd? Watch out, world! This isn't our first rodeo! But inside was a different story. We must have passed eight drunk, crying girls in the first two minutes and another handful throwing up in the bathroom. I glanced at my watch, realized most of these people had been pregaming for nearly three hours, and expressed silent gratitude at being out of the "puking my brains out at concerts" phase (sadly, there are about 40 minutes of Britney Spears [9]'s Circus tour that I'll never get back).

While I definitely had an idea of what I was in for, I wasn't expecting to love Drake's Summer Sixteen Tour so much. It truly was my favorite show of all the ones I've seen, not just because of his set list and stage presence, but also because of the overall production. And because I'd like to consider myself something of a Drake concert expert, I'm offering up a list of what you should expect to get from the show — although unfortunately, you'll find the puking girls no matter which artist you see — and hopefully you can check it out for yourself before Oct. 9, when Drake wraps up the tour in his native Toronto.

These Really Cool Light Ball Things

Seemingly inspired by the same visuals used in the "Hotline Bling" video, Drake's most recent tour features some pretty impressive lighting fixtures. These colored balls not only changed hues throughout his set, but they also moved up and down, making for a really cool sensory experience.

Most of the Moves From the "Hotline Bling" Video

OK, maybe more like all of them [10]. And not just during "Hotline Bling," either — dude loves to dance.

A Workout

You'll do so much bouncing around and throwing your hands up that you'll wake up sore the next morning.

A Contact High

No joke.

A Potential Shout-Out

Drake does this thing during his concerts that my friends and I have dubbed The I See You Baby Girl. He gets into a contraption that takes him high above the crowd, and before launching into "Hold On, We're Going Home," Drake points out people and says things like, "I see you in the blue t-shirt," or "I see you sipping on that cocktail." It was during this part of his Would You Like a Tour? show that Drake said (no fewer than 10 times), "I see you baby girl in the [insert article of clothing here]," and we just couldn't handle how very "Drake" it was. From then on, it's been one of our favorite things to say, as well as our favorite part of his show.

And, coincidentally, lots of ladies screaming "Take your shirt off!"
