When you were younger or maybe even now, you have gone to concerts to see/listen to a band that you like(d). However for someone like me it is a frequent event. I love going to see my bands, seeing my concert buddies, and just letting go of the hardships for a night. Its more than just a concert its a night of freedom and happiness. These bands mean more to me than just music makers. We talk and hang out we get to know each other. They make me feel like a close friend rather than just another face in the crowd. Now I know what some of you are thinking "oh so she is a groupie". NO! I do not sleep with them or anything of that sort. I do not follow them everywhere I wait until they come to Arizona then I go see them. When the concert ends I go home and upload pictures and videos that I took of that night.
Let me explain to you more about how close I feel to my bands. I see them on face book, YouTube, twitter and any other social network. They talk about their band and keep us updated on their everyday lives. So in a way we know them because they share with us so much. Then once I get to meet them it becomes this whole new experience. Talking to them one on one and having them remember you is a wonderful feeling. Its more than just being a fan is being a supporter and a friend.
Maybe you can blog after the event, and that can be your place (descriptive) blog. Concerts are such specific places! Do any of your favorite groups have blogs? Just wonderin'. Kimberly
I totally agree. I feel like when you see a live show it’s just like a moment of ecstasy. You kind of forget your surroundings and for the moment it’s only you and the musician. Like how you said, we’ve come to a point in society where some musicians are uploading everything they do; whether it is via Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube. We each find our different mode to stay connected and follow that persons journey, making it feel like we are that much closer to the ones we idolize
Hello! I think you did a great job in explaining your passion for these bands and their music. You also reminded me just how much I love going to see my favorite bands in concert, or any live music for that matter. Seeing someone perform live on stage is such a unique and great experience! It’s completely different than hearing them through your head phones or car speakers… I could only imagine how awesome it would be to actually meet some of my favorite bands/artists in person! You’re incredibly lucky to have had those opportunities. I agree with Kimberly, you should definitely write a descriptive post on your favorite (or any) concert! You should also include some pictures and videos you took throughout! I’m crossing my fingers you choose to do so :-P
Great job! I totally agree and I have seen quite a few concerts in my day as well. Except that I have not met any of the members because the concerts I have been to are really famous and a person pretty much has to pay to meet them, or get lucky on a radio station. Concerts are definitely a getaway for a night. One can just sit back and enjoy the music, or go all out. I personally am one to just sit back and enjoy the music. The last concert I went to Rush last year. They are phenomenal, and have such beautiful music. For three guys to produce that kind of instrumental music is just amazing. I consider Neil Peart as the best drummer of all time, but that is just me. Uploading some pictures or videos here and writing a blog about your favorite would be awesome to see. Hope you can fit that into one of the open blogs.
