music Have you ever been to a concert?

[NatureFreak]

A concert is an opportunity to watch your favorite artists perform live. This can be an amazing experience that you would remember for the rest of your lives. If you are lucky you can even get a close shot or video of them in action.

Have you ever attended a concert? What was your experience like?

 

[Harsh World]

The only concert that I have seen, and count as a concert over local bands and moshing, was Streetlight Manifesto playing in Seattle, Washington.

Somehow, I managed to get to the front of the stage. That was probably because I was so early due to the excitement, and was one of the first people let in from the wave of the first group. I also didn't stop for merchandise like others did on the way in—I went straight to the show. Though, I got a hoodie on the way out later that night.

Little did I know then was about how crowds push from the back. Since there were hundreds of people, with the venue packing more, I was pushed up millimeter by millimeter as the venue filled, getting more compressed as each wave entered.

By the time the concert started, I probably had my ribs jammed in me quite a ways by the stage. It wasn't enough to be painful or to not enjoy the time, but movement was minimal and it was hard to sing along.

I do remember bruising a day or so later though. However, it was well worth it to see, at the time, my favorite band play live.

I’ve been to two Lil Wayne concerts and one Suicideboys concert. All of them were great. I’d definitely see them perform again.

 

[Aufscherin]

I've been to a ton of them and even gone backstage to see the artists. Been invited to after concert parties too, but always made an excuse not to go because I'm not stupid.

That would've been nice in his prime days!

Neat. How does an artist invite you back?

 

[ActionAce]

I've gone to a couple of musical concerts because I like grooving. Life is too short, so I live the moment to the fullest. The best concert I've been to was held in a city close to my hometown. It was special because I met my favorite artist there.

 

[Bawse]

I've only been to a Wiz Khalifa concert. I plan to go to more if any of my favorite rappers come to Sudbury.

 

[Aufscherin]

Neat. How does an artist invite you back?

It's never the artist that invites you backstage it's a roadie, a stage set up guy, or a security guy etc. These idiots will do anything to try and impress a good looking girl. I just purr like a kitten in heat and tell these morons that I'd like to go backstage to meet the artist(s) and voila! It's almost too easy....

 

[MidnightMuse]

I have been to concerts, but never paid to get in.

How?

I was a drummer for a local band, so I knew people in the scene who would let me in without tickets or credentials. Then I became a DJ, and that gave me access to even more concerts and venues.

I have seen this happen more times than I can count

Life is too short, so I live the moment to the fullest.

This touched me right now. Life is short,. It's a big statement. A trailer just killed 20 people in my friend's area this morning. It was a break failure. Yes, life is short, living it to the fullest is the best choice.

 

[Dead2009]

Let's see, the list of mainstream bands I've seen over the years:

10 Years (twice)
Fair to Midland
All That Remains
Asking Alexandria
Smile Empty Soul
Taproot
Bullet for My Valentine
From Ashes to New
Creed
3 Doors Down
Finger Eleven
Hanson

 

[Immortal]

Yes, I have been to concern multiple times but I have mostly been to concerts where local artists performed. I have been to the concerts of international artists very few times

 

[Harsh World]

Creed
3 Doors Down

I would've loved to see these two live while in high school, but didn't have the money to do it.

Lucky!

 

[Alamson]

I have been to a few concerts. To watch your favourite artists perform live with thousands of other people is a memorable experience. I prefer indoor concerts to outdoor concerts due to security issue. However, indoor concerts have capacity constraints.

 

[Bawse]

I've only been to a Wiz Khalifa concert. I'm not really big on going to concerts, unless I have a girl to go with me.

 

[Augusta]

Yeah I have been attending concerts and I enjoy it.

 

[freelancermaria]

I have never been to a concert, only a small show featuring a local band. I hope to attend a concert someday, especially a Coldplay concert, as I have been a huge fan of the band since high school.

 

[mara]

Yeah I have been attending concerts and I enjoy it.

What concerts have you been to? What artists did you see perform?

 

[Unlocked]

I've been lucky enough to go to a few concerts in my life, mainly when I was a bit younger and I actually haven't been to one for about two years now so it's something that's on my list!

The first one I went to that I really wanted to go to was to watch Ed Sheeran play at Wembley in 2015... one man on a stage, a loop pedal and a guitar entertaining a crowd of 80,000+ for three hours is an absolutely phenomenal experience!

 

[King Belieal]

I have not just been to concerts. I organize concerts and also perform with my band in concerts. A well organized concert always leaves that satisfaction and excitement in the minds of the people that attended.

 

[Ja sa bong]

I love going to concerts whenever I can because it's a very lively event. Taylor Swift's concerts have been among my favourites I've attended in recent time.
