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've been to a few now but I always go with someone else, usually my brother because I suffer from anxiety and the thought of being on my own is terrifying. My experience has been good, I've had a few meltdowns at live performances but I've still enjoyed it. I love the feeling you get being there, like this energy coursing through you and everybody else. It's sensational!
So far I've seen Ed Sheeran live 3 times, Michael Bublè, Taylor Swift, Bob Dylan and Adele
