The Concert Experience

One day you see that your favorite band is going on tour, and they are coming to you! OH I'm so going no matter what, is your first thought. So you buy a ticket and wait in excitement for the day to come. The wait is excruciatingly long even though it’s just a month or two it seems like eternity. In the mean time the band may come out with new material and you listen to them as much as you can until you know every word.

This band means more to you than any others; not only do you listen to their music and follow them on social networks, there is a personal connection with the members and their music. You may not have met them or be their friend, but you are a fan who cares for them and supports what they do. Their songs may have a special meaning to you, which helps you through the day or even put a smile on your face. They have now become more than just a band; they have become part of your life. To see them live with others who feel the same way as you, and to support your band is the best feeling.

Finally the concert has arrived; and knowing that you get to see your idols has you even more excited. As you stand in the crowd waiting for the show to begin your heart begins to race. Then the lights go down and screams start to rise. Your blood boils with excitement as you see your band step out into the spotlight and sing your favorite song. You cannot help but to sing along and jump to the drum beats. How amazing are they live? You never want the night to end as they sing all the best songs. As they come to the end of the show you are, sweating and tired and aching all over. Though your whole body hurts you would never trade this night for anything. You know that you could do this again in a heartbeat. Oh you hope they come back soon and you know you will be there once again.

         Concerts are great stress relievers and they give a sensation of being high when there is screaming dancing and singing. On that note I’m addicted to concerts and they help me to let out my stress from the months before. I recommended at least one concert every three months. Though for me I try to have one concert a month (usually local bands). I enjoy going out seeing familiar faces and to dance my stress away. Is it wrong? I do not think so do you?
