It was 8:29pm; and I still could not believe I was standing inside Boardwalk Arena in Atlantic City, NJ. Anyone could sense that this place was full of emotions from every angle you looked. We were all anticipating the start of the concert with much enthusiasm. It had been 3 years since I saw Justin Bieber on stage. I remember the last time I saw him so clearly, I had nose bleed seat and could barely see him through the big screens next to the stage. But tonight was different. At this very moment, I felt everything inside my body shake and crumble. I could smell the food around me.I smelled the popcorn some little girls were eating near me. I could almost taste the French fries, the girl behind was eating. I could also smell the alcoholic drinks …show more content…
To me is still hard to believe he could make me feel all sorts of emotions in such a short period of time. Crazy thing is those six minutes felt like hours. Not thinking about time or what song is next or even care that I am being squished by the girls behind me, I was able to witness something amazing. Justin came closer to me, I swear to you I could smell the mixture of his sweat and cologne. But what made me wake up of the trance of just staring at his face, was that I was able to hear his pure voice so clear without the need of the microphone. I felt so blessed to hear such a raw emotion come from inside him, I kept saying “Thank you, thank you Justin” as he looked out to the crowd singing, he stared back at me and he made it clear he knew what I was feeling, we were in sync, we were one as he said “I love you”. For over 8 years now, I have supported him, I saw him grow up and make mistakes just like I have. I saw the negative side of being a celebrity through him and in that moment we both knew that we would be there for each other no matter what. Every lyric in this song is true, we do give each other purpose for living. As I sing to him “you are my everything”, I see the Justin that so many people do not get to see. This moment felt so personal to me, especially as I saw his own tears stroll down his face and getting choked up singing the last few lines of the song. He looks me dead in the eyes and truly means what he is singing “you give me purpose in every way, you are my everything”. As he stands up and lets go of my hand, I know everything will get better and I am
Jazz is a music genre that is very rich in culture which is why I decided to attend a Jazz concert. This was my first Jazz event I had ever been to. I went to see the band The Chairman and the Board. This was a blues swing band. Having been to other concerts, I was expecting something similar as far as atmosphere and crowd. I was proved very wrong as this concert defied all my expectations and was in a whole different field as far as life entertainment goes. The first thing I noticed right off the bat was the audience. The age range of this audience was mainly 40-70. I definitely felt like the odd man out when I was there. It did get me thinking though, why was this audience so much older? I looked into the era of when most of those people
I chose to do my concert critique on Eric Clapton-MTV unplugged full concert-HQ January 16, 1992 at Bray Film Studios in Windsor, England. Eric Clapton is my favorite rock n roll singer which has a mixture of genres. The concert was inside and on stage. The audience was seated up close to the stage which made the atmosphere comfortable; Eric and the band showed much warmth and connected with the crowd it wasn’t like the band was untouchable.
On Monday March 25, some members of the baseball team, my girlfriend, and I traveled to Murray State University to watch a concert performed by Nelly and the St. Lunatics. It was a terrible night to go anywhere because it was raining and storming the whole way, but there was nothing that was going to stop us from going to the concert. We where all so hyped up about it and couldn’t wait to head out. My brother, who attends Murray State, had gotten us excellent seats about seventy-five feet away from the stage.
For this critique, I was fortunate enough to attend a jazz performance by Deborah Davis and Ben Rosenblum. Davis was the vocalist and Rosenblum was the pianist. This concert was part of a jazz concert series presented by Preservation New Jersey and the New Jersey Jazz Society. I enjoyed this performance because I was able to witness a professional pianist play up close in a relaxed setting. I was seated in the second pew of the sanctuary, directly in view of Rosenblum’s hands as he performed. This allowed me to not only listen to Rosenblum’s music, but also view his technique and positions throughout the performance. In addition, I am not often able to witness professional jazz performances, but I look forward to attending more in the future.
The Woodstock Music Festival was a music event in Bethel, New York that changed the way people live. During August of 1969, many large crowds of American music lovers all came together to listen to the music of their favorite musicians for this huge music event. Woodstock swept the nation with not only talented musicians, but also many new thoughts and opinions on the world. This popular concert event introduced the ideas of peace, unity, kindness, and togetherness. The Woodstock Festival made a major impact on the United States. It helped people overcome prejudices, informed people about the danger of drugs, led to safer and better prepared concerts, and started a chain of music events all around the world. On August 15 through 18 of 1969
On Tuesday, October 17, 2017, I attended a musical concert. This was the first time I had ever been to a concert and did not play. The concert was not what I expected. I assumed I was going to a symphony that featured a soloist clarinet; however, upon arrival I quickly realized that my previous assumptions were false. My experience was sort of a rollercoaster. One minute I was down and almost asleep; next I was laughing; then I was up and intrigued.
I can still recall that atmosphere whenever I think about it; that wonderful evening with my favorites and all about that evening. The Curtis Culwell center was an amazing experience and surely will be in the coming years. That feel of the auspicious and pleasant day with the serene ambience, when one of my favorite singer-composer brothers came to Dallas for a live concert can still be remembered by me. Salim- Sulaiman, the singer-composer brothers from India, famous for their music and love songs and their spiritual touches mesmerized the whole arena. The best part about their concerts in the tour of North America was their initiative. It was an initiative towards the famous Aga Khan Museum of Toronto, Canada and all the profits from the
The two concerts that I chose to go see were Stanislaus State Wind Ensemble and Jazz Ensembles & Combos Concert. These two concerts are both very similar yet different in their own ways. Each piece also has many attributes to contribute and it was fun being able to watch two very different genres.
When we arrived, a sizable crowd had already gathered. In the main entrance area, a large number of people walked around looking for tickets, talked to each other, and some made their way toward the main chapel where the performance took place. After we walked around for a couple minutes and received our tickets, we made our way to the chapel’s entrance, had our tickets taken, and walked into the performance space where I took my seat in the far back right corner.
... of the whole concert were when he would stop and talk, I loved hearing him talk. I couldn’t help but bawl my eyes out when he started to sing One Less Lonely Girl, and when they brought a girl on stage. Justin told us it was the last song of the night, and after he performed Believe, he was gone. Nobody moved for the longest time, and then all of a sudden boom! He came back on as an encore. He sang two more songs, and then apologized that he had to leave. After we left the concert, on our way home, I got on Twitter, where he tweeted “Chicago always does it right! One of the best shows of the tour. I couldn’t stop smiling! Thank you beliebers. I love you!” I couldn’t tell you how many times I reread this tweet, or go through my pictures, and videos of this night. July 9th, will sure be a night to remember!
Once I let my thoughts return to the music, I knew what lie ahead of me. I tapped the nearest "big guy" on the shoulder and pointed towards the ceiling; the universal signal on the concert floor. He nodded, grabbed my foot, and pushed me on top of the crowd. Once I was up there was no turning back. Soon strong hands were surfing me towards the stage. I had the best view in the house and reveled in the moment. I was fueled by an adrenaline rush that was only heightened by the fusion of the music and the energy of the crowd.
For this concert report I chose to go to a performance of student composers held at the Kimball Recital Hall. I chose this one because I wanted to see some of the talent that my peers have in the music realm, and also it was one of the only concerts I have been able to attend because I usually work at night. It was impressive to hear pieces composed by students. I cannot imagine creating something as complex as a musical composition, much less actually performing it, so this aspect of the concert was particularly awe-inspiring. There was a large attendance, and I think that much of the audience consisted of friends of the composers and/or performers. I went with three friends, who I convinced by telling it would be interesting to see student composers.
As the dark stadium filled with fire, with the sounds of guns and bombs exploding everywhere, the crazed fans yelled at the top of their lungs. The enormous stage was rumbling with the sound of a single guitar as the band slowly started their next encore performance. Soon after I realized that I was actually at the Sanitarium concert listening to Metallica play "One", I thought to my self, "Is this real, am I actually here right now?" I had a weird feeling the entire time because I had worked all summer to simply listen to music with a bunch of strangers.
I attended a concert that was a piano trio. The instruments were obviously a piano, a cello, and a violin. The concert was done by two adults and one student. The student played the cello. The concert was held here on Oklahoma State's campus at Willard Hall. The room it was held in was a relatively small room. It wasn't a real concert hall it was more of a small kind of parlor room. Piano trios are meant for smaller audiences, so it worked out well. There was about 30 people in the room attending the performance. The music played was from different musical areas. The smaller setting made it easier to focus on the musicians and what all they were doing when playing these songs.
After the show had ended, I felt slightly empty. I had waited years and months for that night, and it was over in the blink of an eye. Although I was sad that the show was over, I felt completely content. Now, when I hear their songs, I get to remember what it felt like to hear the band perform them live. I can watch the videos and try to wrap my mind around how it was real. Going to my first concert was an unparalleled experience that I will always cherish. The ambiance, the band’s performance and the unity the audience
