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?
When I went to see The Bootleg Beatles in Glasgow, There was a support act, His name was Nikki Lipp, He was amazing, But I felt like the audience just talked and I found it very distracting. I find it a bit rude, to be honest.
I saw the band Europe in Glasgow and they went a little over board with the lights, I found it very hard to look at the stage.
