One of the concerts that I have attended was One Direction’s. One direction was formed by a group of boys from London in 2010. These young men were also known as Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. The band started off from a British talent show on television called the X Factor. During the audition, the boys were eliminated as individuals, but Simon Cowell saw great potential in these young men as a group. He decided to make it happen by giving them another chance to perform together, and indeed they became famous ever since the formation of the English-Irish boy band One Direction. On the 13th of September last year, I attended their Where We Are tour. It took place in Rose Bowl, Pasadena. The concert started a few minutes after the given starting time which was 7:00pm. I did not mind because everyone in the stadium was chanting the One Direction name, screaming, and lights filled every corner of the stadium. Just being in the same location as the One Direction made me feel content. Everyone was filled with contagious energy. I was too happy to even care about the concert starting a few minutes late. One Direction came out a few minutes later and I just knew right then and there that this concert would be worth it. They performed five of my favorite songs. On their setlist were “Little Things” by Ed Sheeran and Fiona Bevan and “Change My Mind” composed by Savan Kotecha, Rami Yacoub, and Carl Anthony Falk. On their encore list were “You & I” by Julian Bunetta, Jamie Scott, and John Ryan, “Story of My Life” by Jamie Scott, Julian Bunetta, John Ryan, and the One Direction members, and “Best Song Ever” by Wayne Hector, John Ryan, Ed Drewett, Julian Bunetta. First song I would like to cri... ... middle of paper ... ... mine”. Despite the connection I have with the song, I feel that the performance was below average overall because they really lacked stage presence and consistency. I understand that it is a slower song compared to the others in the main setlist, however, even if the pace of the song is slow, the performer must still maintain a balance between energy and chemistry with the audience which they failed to do so. Towards the end, Zayn’s falsetto during his ad-libs in the bridge section made up for the flat notes sung by the group earlier. He has always been the strongest soloist. I also admired the floating platform they used to float above the audience for this song because it changes our perception. I looked up to them physically just as I looked up to them emotionally. It was definitely a good experience. I truly cannot wait to attend another concert of theirs.
By going to as many concerts as they can, fans help the band sell more and you help themselves look and feel like a bigger fan. I personally went to all of their bay area concerts and had to drive down to Pasadena, CA for one when they didn 't have a show here. This made me feel and seem very devoted to the band . Socializing is another big thing in the community of directioners, it helps you meet more people in the same community and creates friendships. For example, just last week I visited a friend in Stanford University who I met through One Direction and I 've made many other online friends that i have more in common with than people around me. Many fans devote their time to fan accounts that they have created to be able to connect with fans and talk about their problems and also talk about the bands
The concert that I attended last Friday was an interesting one where I got to have some new experiences and learn about classical music.
...Maine. More than 80,000 fans show up to these events. These events are usually the cause of huge traffic jams and a three day party. People come from all over the world just to experience the sense of community, as well as the intriguing music.
Warped Tour is sometimes billed as the “longest running music festival in the nation”. The vans warped tour has brought thousands of music fans together over a fifteen year period. Warped Tour is known for being amazing and for bringing large crowds towards it. Kevin Lyman/ Sierra Lyman are the creators of Warped Tour. The very first tour kicked off on August 4th, 1995. The very first tour was in Salt Lake City, Utah. Warped Tour starts April 1st. It always is held in the summer. It ends August 3rd. Each year about 50-125 bands go to Warped Tour. To
I have been to very memorable places in my life, such as the Vietnam Wall and the White House but nothing compares to the Summer Sanitarium concert in Denver, Colorado at Invesco Field. This concert was a tour put on by Metallica, Limp Bizkit, Linkin' Park, Deftones, and Mudvayne. Invesco Field at Mile High is the newly installed stadium in Denver after they got rid of the old stadium. All of the Denver Bronco home games are put on here. I would have to say that this place is the most memorable place I have ever been too in my life.
...ther fans online it is not uncommon to come across conflicting fans. In the fandom of One direction, a very large and powerful fandom, there would be conflicts concerning if one is was a “true fan,” and if they were not fans of the boy group since their beginning days starting from the X-factor than they were not a true fan.
The night was young, times were crazy and it was only the beginning of my senior year. It was still warm out and it still felt like summer; we didn’t know that we could have this much fun in one night, but we knew we were going to have fun no matter what. My first concert had to be one of the best nights of my life and one of my most favorite nights of my life during my senior year. It all began when my buddy Alex Kramper decided to give me a phone call and wanted to know if I wanted to go to an Imagine Dragons concert at the Verizon Wireless Amplifier Theater for only twenty bucks, I responded with a hell yeah, the concert was only in a weak.
Being at the show definitely didn't make me feel like an outsider. I've listen to heavy metal for a long time and have been to many concerts. Even knowing that some heavy metal music is not talented or insightful, this concert was very much both talented and insightful. In-between two songs the singer of Slipknot stopped to comment on hate crimes in American since September 11. He explained that we need to punish the ones who perform the acts of September 11 and not innocent Americans. That to me was very insightful, mostly because it was coming from someone hows music is as violent as Slipknot. It shows they still have a heart. By passing this message, he could possibly changes someone's views and/or save someone's life. The show was also musicial inspiring, and I found myself with goose bumps, numerious times thoughout the night.
Throughout the musical, the prowess of each individual performer was on display. Every performer, with the exception of Kristine, expressed a power and vibrato that was breathtaking; the highest notes lilting and the lowest notes thundering. I was in awe during a majority of the performances because of the commanding singing in each performer.
Every performance was presented with charm. The flashing, changing colors seem to go along with the performances. The director was humorous. The performers outfits were on point too. I liked the color coding of the vocalists, Jeremy, Jordan, and Rowan. Also, Julie wore a pretty suede dress and had a great voice. It was nice to see her come out for the 2nd time to sing. When Spencer kept playing his saxophone in some of the performances, it was just amazing. Some of my favorite performances were Sittin on the Dock of the Bay, Ain’t too Proud to Beg, In a Sentimental Mood, and more. It really made me feel like I was in New Orleans all over again. I absolutely love Otis Redding and The Temptations music, so I wasn’t new to these songs they played. I was sitting in the back (R-125) where I felt comfortable to bob my head to the music. If I ever come back to see another concert, I will make sure to get a seat in the back again. I adore Jordan that did sung the Temptations song. I thought it was exciting to see his enthusiasm while on stage keeping us engaged, but everyone did great in their own way. The song by Duke Ellington made me feel melancholy, the piece was soft. I just couldn’t believe how well everyone contributed and gave an outstanding
One Direction is a group of young men with a lot of talent and a lot of heart. Niall, Zain, Liam, Harry, and Louis would probably never have met if they were not selected for X Factor. They have fans all over the world who are very happy these guys got together. One Direction’s music makes people want to sing, dance, and listening to them just feels good.
In today’s society, just the mere mention of the name “One Direction” can cause a young teenage girl to experience heart palpitations, sweaty palms, and an intense desire to jump up and down. Even during the nineties, with the births of *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys, the reception from the fans have not been as enormous as it is now. In terms of fan reception, teenagers are an interesting group as they represent a wide, powerful community that interacts smartly through social media. Not only does there seem to be an established relationship between the bands and their fans, but there also seems to be a strong effect in the fans’ psychological states, creating an infatuation that exceeds the standard admiration.
If someone were to ask people ever wanted to see almost every artist from any genre of music in one place? Of course, anyone would say yes, because most people haven't been to an event like the huge one that happens in California each year. This is an event many people save up all year to attend just maybe once in their life time. The Coachella Music and Arts Festival, it is one of the most talked about festivals that this generation knows about. It is like a whole new world for most people each time they attend.
I had never really been to a big concert that had a well-known band. A couple of weeks before the concert I got some information about it, but really didn't think much of it. I talked with some friends about the band and we all casually decided to go get tickets for it. Little did I know what an absolutely spectacular time I would have.
There is an event that I just can describe as one of the most unique and memorable in my life: attending my first concert. After years of listening to Ron Pope’s music, watching his YouTube channel, and following all of his social media accounts, the satisfaction of seeing someone whose music has been the soundtrack to my life for so long was unreal. There were moments that I had to internally remind myself that this is, in fact, happening in real life. Being a dedicated (some may say eccentrically so) fan is tough work – and I was rewarded with two hours of pure magic for one night. Attending my first concert was a unique event that I will always remember fondly because of the atmosphere, the amazing performance and the sense of connection
