I love music and concerts, so I'm right there with you. I'm with you and JQ on this one--the Jumbotron may be the worst invention ever. Saw U2 last year, and if I'm honest, I'd have rather been at home, watching them on DVD. At least the beer would've been cheaper. I need to see facial expressions, see beads of sweat, feel a connection to the artist. No sense going otherwise. <br /><br />My mother also let me go to a concert she shouldn't have. I was 15; she let me miss school for it. What an education.<br /><br />See you back soon.Trifectahttp://www.trifectawritingchallenge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575124099588454367.post-65707985009660447462012-03-29T23:21:16.326-05:002012-03-29T23:21:16.326-05:00JQ,

Nothing like actually seeing the singers' faces. Makes all the difference. Not going back either!<br /><br />Saw Lady Antebellum at the Chicago Theater a year or so ago, right before they were HUGE. Small venue, they wanted to show everyone their talent. Charming and humble! Probably one of the best concerts I have EVER seen!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04841767868797265391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575124099588454367.post-41396240932575203012012-03-29T22:49:53.722-05:002012-03-29T22:49:53.722-05:00Hahaha!!!!

It's funny, being the daughter of a musician, I used to think the visuals weren't as important as the hearing. But I accidentally got good seats to a concert (Weird Al Yankovic of all things) and it changed my perspective completely. The big screen can't catch it all. And it's so worth being close to the stage. So much the better if it's a small venue.<br /><br />And the Stones at Soldier Field? I.Am.

My first concert my friend Barbara and I with her older brother and friends, we saw Alice Cooper. Back in the day singing the whole Dead Babies thing ripping head off dolls and throwing them into the audience- lots of snakes and stuff, just awesome. I sometimes wonder if my parents knew what we were seeing that night, LOL...I was 13 and loved every darn minute of it. ah the memories!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10204165708189660644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575124099588454367.post-43375087404327510352012-03-28T13:49:10.363-05:002012-03-28T13:49:10.363-05:00I would totally go to a Katy Perry concert so no j...I would totally go to a Katy Perry concert so no judgement here!
