Concert Review: We Didn T Start The Fire

It was the perfect location for this concert as Young is a musical icon. The size of the venue was just the right size to capture the heartfelt renditions of Young’s songs. To those unfamiliar with the venue, it appears like a large church more than a huge concert hall, providing for a quiet, intimate setting perfect for the acoustic instruments and voices to be enjoyed. The appreciative audience gave enthusiastic applause after each song performed; however, we are never given a glimpse of them. The stage itself was static throughout, backed only with the words “Prairie Wind”. The concert did not rely on visual effects to entertain, but solely on the musical abilities of the entertainers on stage.

The song I chose was Don’t Stop Believing by Journey. In the beginning of the song there is a piano solo. The piano is being played in an andante tempo and the dynamic was piano (soft). After around ten seconds of the piano playing, the lead singer, Arnel Pineda, begins to sing. Around forty seconds into the song, and right after Pineda finishes the first cadence, you hear the guitar for one short note, then it does not reappear after the line “he took the midnight train going anywhere.” The guitar is played in very short spaced notes and crescendos. It was also being played in an allegro tone. Once again, the guitar stops as the singing begins. As the singer begins to sing, he is only accompanied by the piano until the line “on and on and

He has a good voice to get across the type of material he does. His lyrics tell stories. Serious subjects like Vietnam, or something having to do with sex, his songs portray life. The common man digs Billy. He's the piano guy out there trying to make a buck. They identify. Females dig him and I'm like all surprised. Dude got a face like a used catchers mitt.

All work and no play makes you dull. Uncle G says; enjoy life at every given

On Saturday, June 22, 2015 Lambeau stadium in Green Bay, Wisconsin welcomed Jason Aldean and Kenny Chesney. Both of them are going to their own different tour; Chesney The Big Revival and Aldean Burnin’ It Down Tour into a co-headlining night. Not having been to many concerts, this was my first country concert and it got pretty wild. Along with the amazing performances, with the powerful effect their songs had on the audiences there was a lot more drama than expected. When the concert had come to a close there were over 25 arrests and kicked out over 100 other people. This concert definitely left its mark, but might have not been for the best reason. Other than the drama over the packed in audiences this concert was truly memorable.
