And for yourself? Also, a side note, the night before the Deacon show, I got to see one of my absolute favorite musicians with arguewithatree: William Elliott Whitmore. I linked his song Everyday to you a number of months back after a rough day you had, but a good amount of his work is just rocking. Despite being blues and folk and bluegrass, his roots are in LA punk and he puts on killer shows with just his bass drum and banjo/guitar. I kept thinking "man Steve would enjoy this." Unceasingly nice dude too. This is the second time I've seen him and that Iowa charm does not break.
Well, There are two answers to this, one is of the kleinbl00 variety, which has more to do with the girls I experienced the show with and the other is about the sound/show. I went to see the Beastie Boys on their Ill Communication tour. We had seats right next to one of the tunnels that led out on to the main floor and on top of tunnel was a flat space that was sort of hidden and roped off. There was a really cute girl sitting in front of me and we made eyes. I stepped out, under the ropes and motioned for her to join me. The ENTIRE show, we hooked up. It was the best time of my life up to that point. The best! The show that I enjoyed the sound of the most was actually a Phish show at a place called DTE in Michigan. This is not a place that is known for good sound, but Phish sounded great, and I'm not really that keen on their music. Great show, thanks for taking me bgood79. The show where I enjoyed the performance the most was Flaming Lips in Boston. -thanks scrimetime, that was an awesome show. Watching the Lips play live made me want to quit my job, start a band and get buy a confetti cannon.
The company we keep is hugely important because then it's a shared experience. The music and sound and all the bells and whistles that make a great performance is important because that's the reason we're there - to have a live experience beyond the video and audio we can turn on in our living rooms. What I especially enjoy, though, is that thing that happens in the audience when the concert is really amazing. It doesn't matter what the age range, sobriety range, hotness range or whatever: when the music rocks, when it's the real thing and this applies to classical concerts as well -- you know you are really alive and part of a unique transcendent moment, yo.Well, There are two answers to this, one is of the kleinbl00 variety, which has more to do with the girls I experienced the show with and the other is about the sound/show.
and maybe there's a third way to answer this.
