Concerts

[Meat Puppet]

The bands that I really want to see live are dead, and there aren’t many that are still living that I can actually go to.
The biggest concert (I think it was a concert) I have been to was to see Pearl Jam. Man, that was scary. It was the large amount of people that got to me, rather than the music itself. Hell, it was pretty much only the 500 meter, mindless herding into the stadium that started to freak me out. Once I was Seated I was able to Calm Down, & even loosen up a little. By the time Life Wasted started, I was so relaxed that I was able to make a fool of myself by shouting “Go Ramona!” and not even feel embarrassed afterwards.

I have been to smaller & more intimate ones, venues that are much closer to the band and the crowd, but I do not enjoy those very much. These times the sound does rattle my brains, but it is really the contact with & Grinding from the people around me that forces me into prematurely evacuating the event—I guess I am just not horny enough to fully Appreciate such Venues.
