(no subject)
I am actually going to a “real” concert. I have not been to many of these. And based on some people’s opinion of what a “real” concert is, I may not have been to any at all.
The concerts I have attended in my life (only including the ones that I paid for, not including random bands at bars, Birthday Bash and Blues on the Mall) in no particular order:
Eve 6
Yanni
Manheim Steamroller
GR Symphony
Mormon Tabernacle Choir
Miscellaneous Country Singer X (I remember that it was a man, but don’t remember which one…Bryan White maybe? It’s been 9 years so…)
I think that’s it… I have a terrible memory for events though, so I may be missing some, but make no mistake. If I have forgotten any, they are in the same category as the GR Symphony and Manheim Steamroller.
I just never considered myself a “concert person” (the definition of a Concert Person being someone that really enjoys going to concerts). I guess that is because they way I enjoy music the best is to relax and really listen to it. But in a large crowd of people I have a hard time really letting myself get into the music. I am too distracted by everything that is going on around me. Unless I am sitting down. I think I formed this opinion because I really enjoyed most of the the Not-Eve-6 concerts, when I was sitting down. But at the Eve 6 concert I was standing and listening so I couldn’t focus on the music as much. I was too worried about getting a better view, not bumping into the people around me, being bumped into by the people around me and trying to figure out what in the world I was supposed to be doing while standing (jumping, dancing, swaying, bopping about or standing stoically). Although I did have a seat at the country concert and I really didn’t enjoy that concert either, I think that may have had something to do with it being country and the performer not being particularly exciting. I wasn’t even that excited to go see the country singer. I think I only went to the concert because a friend had a free ticket for me.
So I’m kind of excited. We have seats for a “real” concert. So I can sit down and be a little more at ease and just listen to a band that I really like. I’m hoping the fact that we have seats will help me enjoy the concert a bit more. I am also banking on the stories I’ve been told about them being fantastic performers and very worth seeing live. ‘Cause watching Eve 6…not that thrilling…at all. I could have listened to the CD and had just as much excitement.
I am really hoping that this concert can prove me wrong. I am hoping that they are good enough performers that I can see and understand why people want to go to concerts. And I can become one of those people that really likes going to concerts. I can understand from the descriptions I have received from people why a concert can be a really good experience. I want that good experience too. I don’t like being so luke warm about live performances.
System of a Down don’t fail me!
