Attending a Live Performance
Attending a live performance

Attending a live performance is really more enjoyable than watching the same event on television. As I am very interested in football matches, I have experienced that watching a football match at a stadium is not comparable with watching the same thing on TV. I never forget the first time that I went the stadium and the match is inscribed in my mind. It was an unforgettable event.
At a live performance, you can see everything that is not possible on TV. Cameras zoom on special scenes and you cannot see what is going on the rest of the stage. For example, at a football match, the cameraman always tries to see the ball and its related events. When you are watching a football match on TV you cannot see that a player kicks another one because it is out of stage. But when you are present at the stadium you can easily see it.
On the other hand, you can cheer and boo and even cry in a live performance. A crowd like you has attended the match. All cheer and shout together and it encourage you to take part in their happiness. This is really enjoyable. Imagine you were attending Michael Jackson show then you could dance, whistle and cheer. This was not the case when you were at home. You might be alone because others did not like that specific show or they wanted to study. So you could neither dance nor cheer. You had to sit before T.V and turn down its voice. It is not enjoyable at all.
Another advantage that you achieve by virtue of attending a live performance is that you can have the feeling of participating in the performance. Every thing is live. If it is a football match for instance, then it is as if you were playing yourself. You were part of the match and could sense the kicks of the players on the ball.
Above all advantages, there is only one disadvantage. It is that you must pay money to buy the ticket and spend time to reach the location of the performance. But it does not matter for me. By considering that I can achieve many

    On February 10th I watched the Detroit Symphony Orchestra perform Beethoven’s Fourth and Fifth symphonies at Orchestra Hall in Detroit. Even though the musicians were in Michigan, I had the full experience right inside my dorm room. The webcast was a really interesting experience that I enjoyed. I think I may have even appreciated it more than the real thing. Although you cannot replace getting dressed up and going to a concert, I liked this webcast because the different camera angles provided footage of everyone playing their instrument and if I had been in a seat I would have been stuck looking at the same few people the whole performance.. For example, the conductor would usually have his back to the audience throughout the performance, but since I was not a part of the conventional listeners, his facial expressions were exciting to watch. Leonard Slatkin, the conductor was very into the music, sometimes it seemed like he was a one man show, acting out the music on the stage.…

    This was second time I listen to a Jazz concert in our school. Our players always keep a high quality of performance. Besides this relaxed type of performance I also used to go to Chopin’s symphony and other different kind of operas. Listen to a concert performed in the school and played by our schoolmates seems to be more joyful and comfortable. Our players might do not have a professional techniques or organized as the technical symphony orchestra. But their enjoyable and love of music are same which can bring our audience into their atmosphere and move our body along with their playing.…

    When listening and watching live performances, the venue is almost as important as the music itself. The venue that the Charles Mingus Tribute played at the night I saw them was a restaurant and bar called Stayner’s Wharf. I had been there before, but in the middle of the day with no live music. The change I saw in atmosphere from that first time I experienced the restaurant to the second was tremendous. A tucked away stage with six musicians squished onto it all playing their hearts out transformed the boring restaurant into something so much more alive. The venue was a little odd because it wasn’t positioned around the players, so many people couldn’t see the stage from their tables or stools. However, even if you…

    Most concerts are way better in a good size venue. The concert in Michigan has a smaller venue, and there will probably be more packed than the one in Indiana. The venue in Indiana will be larger and more room for the people that come to see the band play live. If we go to a smaller venue than the closer we would closer be in the band. But if we go to a bigger venue then we would have a better view of the band. I would like to see the band while they play, and not the back of people's heads.…

    For this assignment I chose to compare and contrast two concerts. The first concert is from the modern era, while the other is a Baroque Era concert originating from the 17th Century preformed by a modern day orchestra. The Baroque Era Concert takes place in a large modern day Lutheran Church in front of a small crowd of well dressed onlookers. The second concert that I chose for this assignment is a modern day rock concert from the English Symphonic Rock Band, Muse. This concert takes place at the O2 Sheppard’s Bush Empire Theatre in London, England. The crowd is large and ruckus, the concert is loud, bright, and energetic.…

    On another note popular music deals with music that is popular to today 's society. For this concert, I chose a concert performed by Evanescence which was posted on YouTube. This concert was definitely not a favorite.

    Fans are what keeps you going when it is sweltering hot outside and you just want to run inside and take a nap. They cheer you on whether you are good or bad. They want to see you do your best and hit every single beat that drops. You hit a stunt on beat and the whole crowd gives you a standing ovation. Performing at halftime during a football or basketball game is the best. The crowd isn't as judgmental as a competition crowd can be. You drop a stunt and recover? They go crazy! They're the best crowd to perform in front of, therefore, making your performance 110% better. Of course, you're going to be nervous when you perform in front of a crowd. Sometimes I get those little butterflies in my stomach right before we hit the floor. However, once you get out there and start doing your thing it all melts away and is replaced by a wave of up most confidence. I love performing and screaming to the point that by the end of the game my voice is replaced with a sound similar to the scraping of wood. If you go home with your voice not sounding like every vocal chord snapped, then you didn't do the best you could…
