I Love Concerts
July 17, 2010 @ 12:52:36 AM EST
You can listen to your favorite group on your iPod all day long and it is great but it is not the same as being at a concert live where you not only hear but can feel the music. The frenzy of the crowd and the interactions create a completely different experience. Head banging, moshing and the crazy crowd reactions are part of the unique event. Of course there are people and types of concerts where the crowd is subdued and quietly listening to beautiful music but that is your choice on what type of concert and how you want to interact. These days most concerts deliver not only a great musical experience but add tremendous visual effects like light shows, pyro, laser, video, elaborate mechanical effects and all types mind blowing scenes. Whatever type of music it is that turns you on there is probably a show coming near you soon.

Album: Willie Nelson, "Heroes" (Sony Legacy) |
|
| |
Throughout a long and extremely weird career (really one of the greatest shaggy dog stories the popular music industry has ever produced, and there's very little even comes close in terms of audaciousness times longevity divided by quality), Willie Hugh Nelson has maintained a certain level of familiarity with his audience merely by doing the things nobody expects a country star should do. Rolling with rappers, rapping about marijuana, speaking out against authority figures -- he's essentially an older Kid Rock, with gravitas, and the mirror image of the polished citybilly you're most likely to see stalking the stage of the Grand Ole Opry these days.
