Hi all,
Was wondering what everyone's thoughts/feelings/experiences of gigs are?
On paper they're not the best places to be with so many things going on. For myself I tend to get uncomfortable when the crowds are packed too close and I get hyper-aware of how close I am to other people and feeling elbows etc brush against me. Feel like I constantly have to hold my breath. What I find weird for myself though is I love the feeling of the sound at gigs, not particularly the sound itself, but the vibrations of it in my chest and my body and limbs, I close my eyes to block out the lights and just feel it in my bones. For this reason I prefer rock gigs to anything else.
Anyway, just wanted to ask what others peoples thoughts and experiences were?
I went to my first one last year. It was Wembley Stadium because I'm a madman. It wasn't the plan to go on my own but that's what ended up happening thanks to my poor planning.
I felt vulnerable not having someone with me to share the experience with, but I enjoyed the show. It got overwhelming when you've got 70,000 people trying to leave the same venue at the same time.
