Journal: Stars Concert - Set Yourself on Fire Tour
I was never a concert attendee, live venues and crowds used to intimidate me. But now I've attended over 225 concerts (individual acts) of at least 130 different artists. I learned how to interact with crowds, be more extroverted and dance like no one is watching. It's such a different feeling from listening to the record versus live music. I love feeling the live music from the band playing. And, it helps buying tickets to support your favourite bands.
We attended a Stars concert at Phoenix Concert Theatre last week. They were playing their whole Set Yourself on Fire album to celebrate its 10th year. It was quite awesome! I love how the crowd was singing to it all. It's definitely a band I thoroughly enjoy attending their concert. Amazing.
Here's some pictures of the set and you will notice in relation to our position to the stage. I personally prefer behind the sound board as I can see the stage easier. Short people problems, eh?
Crowds and live events aren't for everyone, but I've adopted a theory to new experiences.
Try everything twice.
The first time, you may have had a bad experience but if you don't like it a second time, then you can say it's not for you. Give everything a go, it could be something you'll enjoy!
