Incubus Research Paper

Next came the moment we had all been pondering for…the concert! Some of our favorite Christian singers were going to be performing. My favorite band by far was

The only thing that kept us going was the hope that there would be righteous music to rock out to. We heard of all the funky artist that would be there such as The Who, Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead. As we finally made it to the field after an unbearable fifty mile long backup of wheels. We saw the largest amount of people ever. It was packed. All that could be seen was a sea of people in bellbottoms and flowing shirts. Most people didn’t have shoes on. Everyone was setting up camp, whither that meant getting their van ready or setting up a tent like us. We patiently waited for noon to come around when the music would finally start. It took us a while to get to the performance area because of the mad amount of people that were in the area.

Having never attended a concert in person let alone a metal concert I had a few general notion of what to expect but nothing else. Upon entering the stadium the first thing that stood out was the stage

When I got to the bar around 8:00 pm, it was still early because the concert was supposed to start around 9:00 pm, but two of the musicians were starting to get to the place and setting some instruments up. By around 8:40 pm, the four musicians now all together in the inside part of the bar started to set up their instruments, drums, keyboard, guitars and some maracas, as well as speakers and microphones, also people got seated inside with their wine glasses or beers and some food that is also offered in the bar. I sat in the middle of the concert in a little with my friend, so I could have a great view of the performance, watch every detail

Going to a concert is an experience incomparable to any other. Here it is, the moment, every concert goer has been waiting for, the artist coming onto the stage. Hearts begin to race as the music builds each fleeting second before the artist comes out. Smoke fills the dark stage illuminated by the band's tour video playing. Then, in the center of the stage, doors begin to open revealing four singing boys. Crying and screaming

On April 11th, I went to the Faculty Artist Series at Wiedemann Hall here on campus. This concert was composed by Walter Mays, Dean Roush, and Aleksander Sternfeld-Dunn. Prior to the concert, I was expecting to hear something like the psychedelic and futuristic music we were shown with the Martin Luther “Dream” piece, but man was I very wrong in what I was expecting. The concert hall we were in had the feel of a church and was a place where I felt like I had to be quiet and on my best behavior which is something that I hadn’t seen at a concert besides my elementary school Christmas recitals that were in a church. Other than that, the music wasn’t the greatest or most pleasing music I have ever heard, but I will note that the drums sounded awesome

Honestly I felt like I was going to puke So we went to go sit on the monster truck they had. we chilled there for a while, which isn't ideal, but yet again its more favorable than puking. Whilst on this monster truck we had a perfect view of one of the stages so we watched motionless in white from afar. So motionless in white is a pretty well known band so there were a lot of people there, so many people, and whilst I wasn't in the crowd it was amazing. I got to listen to their music while listening to all these people cheering for one single band. And it’s wild. Like when you're in the crowd you feel like you're a part of something, like you're surrounded by strangers, but you're all here for one single reason and you don't really think about it until afterwards. But watching a concert from afar is so amazing too, the lead singer dude asked everyone to to put up the horns \m/ and its not really that deep and I don't even listen to Motionless in White, but seeing so many people with their arms up putting up the horns was so amazing because in that moment I realized how many people came to this one parking lot just to listen to music and have fun and let loose and everyone there has some sort of common interest, even though every single person is completely different. and the people there in general were so amazing, even if I only spoke to a few. And I might just be making a

Following the concert that I attended on Thursday, October 8th, 2015, my ears quietly rang for two days. That evening, for Fallapalooza, the University of Maryland’s Student Entertainment Events group held a concert at Ritchie Coliseum, which featured Zeds Dead, a popular electronic dance music (EDM) duo, as the headliner. While I had not previously attended an electronic dance music concert before, my raver friends exalted these concerts and had described their various and ludicrous experiences at raves and festivals. Nevertheless, actually attending one proved to be more than I ever expected, and I was able to experience first-hand how Zeds Dead identity rang through their mixes and tracks and rang through my ears. The loud lyrics of their

So tickets went on sale about two weeks later, and luckily for this college kid the Stones have a lottery system. You pay thirty bucks that gets you in the door, and the catch is that you don’t know where you will sit. For my favorite band of all time a shot at even an upper seat sounded pretty good for thirty bucks. First purchase, thirty bucks, Columbus show. At this point I’m ecstatic, one concert on the horizon and a little life pumped back into my summer. I had to wait a month for the show, and that seemed like a

It wasn’t that long of a drive considering that it was in St. Louis. On our way there we blasted the car radio, had the windows down with our hair going crazy with the wind, and just had fun. When we arrived the line was crazy long. We waited about 45 minutes until we got to the beginning. By the time we got to the lawn I was dying of thirst. There were so many people there. I didn’t realize that there was going to be thousands of people waiting to see the concert.

We looked for the seats marked Section 5, Row 21, Seat 1 and 2. Minutes after finding row 5 and sitting in the first two spots, a few girls approached us saying that we were in their seats. After comparing our tickets to theirs, we found out that Cody and I were in Section 4 and that we needed to go to the other side of the bench, moving us incredibly closer to the stage. This excited and embarrassed us so much that we sat in laughter for about 10 minutes. Cassadee Pope was the opening show, and she was absolutely incredible. I have to say she was a great performer, but after a few of her songs Hunter Hayes came running onto the stage singing ¨Storm Warning,¨ and I had no doubts that he was far better than any other performer I had ever seen. Hunter Hayes continued to amaze me for about 2 more hours by singing, dancing, and giving an amazing speech. When he gave his speech, he talked about something slightly close to home. He spoke about the shootings in Orlando, where my brother was living at the time. This hit me pretty hard because losing my brother from 1,600 miles away would really be painful. In all honesty the night of singing my heart out had seemed to end in the blink of an eye. When we eventually made it into the backseat of our car, Cody and I couldn't help but laugh and smile at the thought of what we had just

We had just arrived in the room to see I Prevail. My mom, dad, and I were up on the rail; the stage was much closer than at any other concerns I had been to. Even though I had been to many concerts before, I was still nervous, but I was also excited. All I could smell was alcohol, Vape and sweat. We waited for what felt like hours - already sweating, listening to people talking around us, and hearing some background music. Then it finally happened ,the lights when down. The whole band ran onto stage.

As the bus started to move, I was filled with trepidation; I knew I should be excited and filled with joy at the prospect of going to New York and performing at Carnegie Hall. How could I not be? It was Carnegie Hall! However, all I could feel was nervous and doubt; I was sure that I was not worthy to go to Carnegie Hall, that it was a mistake for me to go, that I was going to make a fool of myself and everyone else. As the bus made its way through Atlanta’s bright stunning lights, all I really wanted to do was to be back in bed covered all up, safe and

First, we got our blankets and pillows ready on the lawn of the main stage and got some snacks from the snack bar, Which was very, very expensive. A red bull was $5 and a 20oz bottle of water was about $7. Not the best prices difference between water and a red bull. We got back to the main venue and the urge just started performing. I didn't really know any songs by them so i just sat there and ate my food that i got from the snack bar and my backpack that i filled with snacks. The urge ended and we went to the other venue where people were all migrating to to see the Beastie Boys cover band perform. The bass of the songs that they were playing were literally making my ears move into my brain. They played a couple more songs and left the venue. After that we went back to the snack bar and got more water and a little more snacks for the meantime while the other bands were getting ready to perform. We just got to the Goldfinger performance and tried to get to the front of the concert by pushing and shoving people out of the way. It was pretty much impossible to get to the front of the venue because every time we got closer there were more people bunched up together trying to get closer. Eventually some guy in a wheelchair came through and we followed the guys behind him but he suddenly got stopped in the middle of the crowd.

One day, a couple of months before the concert I was scrolling through Facebook where I can access Incubus’s band website. It showed that they had tour dates coming up. I immediately started to feel my heart pounding in my chest and in my hand, the computer mouse started clicking away searching for details of their upcoming tour. At this time, Incubus hadn’t made any new music or toured in many years, so up until this day, I was convinced the odds of me getting a chance to see them was not going to happen. Once I saw Incubus’s announcement on the Internet about their upcoming concerts, I knew this was my chance to achieve one of my dreams. I studied the webpage and found out that the tickets wouldn’t be going on sale for another month. So, I impatiently waited for the day I could purchase the tickets online. Unfortunately, the day the tickets went on sale I was at work and wouldn’t be available to access the website to purchase the tickets. But I was not going to let that stop
