Indie Rock Band Of Montreal Concert Analysis

I wouldn't be doing the concert any justice if I didn't emphasize the buzz of the town on the day of the show. When my life long friend, and fellow DMB fan, and I rolled into the historic college town of Charlottesville, we could almost instantly feel the excitement crash into us (no pun intended). As we drove into

On April 11th, 2017 in the Louis Armstrong Theatre, I attended the GVSU “University Band”. This up-beat ensemble lasted about 90 minutes; the talented students of GVSU’s university band joined together to perform multiple different songs ranging from a Waltz to a Dixieland Jamboree. All of the songs that the band played for the audience were all well-known, popular songs that they all enjoyed. Having the opportunity to attend this concert has opened new musical paths for myself and has allowed me to enjoy and kindly critique something that I perhaps would have never had the chance to otherwise.

On November 18, 2015, I attended a UAB concert involving jazz combos and a guitar ensemble. This concert was filled with amazing musicians, intricate solos, and thick harmonies. There were three jazz combos and one guitar ensemble; the first set was the guitar ensemble, which contained four guitarists and one bass player. The ensemble consisted of four songs: “Swing It,” a swing-style song; “Samba #1”; “A Child is Born,” a waltz; and “Bill’s Bay.” The main theme of “Bill’s Bay” was very catchy and memorable, and the ensemble’s most impressive player to me was Michael Galanti on the bass guitar. His solos involved precise pizzicato and quick movement that I have never witnessed in a bass player.

After years of unforgettable concert experiences and entertainment, the festival has grown to become one of the most highly regarded and anticipated music festival events in the country.

Over eighteen thousand people, of all ages, gender, shape, and size, had assembled for the sole purpose of listening to one band perform. Almost giddy with anticipation, I turned to look at my friend, ignoring the dizzying drop below, and was ecstatic to see the same level of wonder on her face. Concert had been such a foreign word until now. Lights flared from overhead, coupled with the glow of thousands of flashlights that blinked from the crowd. As the once brightly-lit room suddenly went dim, a deafening wave of screams resounded with enthusiasm. The lead singer crossed the stage trying to build up the already intense fervor that hung palpably in the

How is the tour going, Do you have any crazy stories to tell us, or which show did you enjoyed the most yet ?

The instrumentation of the show included a piano, bass, drums, saxophone, trumpet, fugal horn, and soundboard. The use of popular jazz instruments further reveals the performer’s intention to give the audience a taste of the sentimental, antique tones of jazz music. As the instrumentation reveals the genre of the music being performed, the stage for the show was set up in a way that highlighted the artists performing solos during the improvisational pieces. For example, the use of lights played a large role in visually isolating the soloists. The lights used during the show only illuminated the performers that were located upstage, while there were no lights used to illuminate downstage. Thus, as performers were not playing in the piece they would move downstage into the darkness. This would cause the focus of the audience to shift to the other performers that were still playing. The intentional movement of the artists downstage reveals the artist’s intent to highlight each individual instrument in the sextet and the improvisational skills of the artist playing them. Also, the visual depiction of an artist emerging from the shadows located downstage and playing prompted the audience to clap. The clapping was also prompted after a musician finishes the personal solo improvisational piece within a song. The clapping from the audience when an instrument

The band has said that when they first started, their shows were not much more than a joke. They used to perform as a duo backed up by just an iPod, without any instruments at all. Their audiences didn’t know what to make of them.

Improvisation was given a more featured role, and soloists would play while the rest of the band, aside from the rhythm section, dropped out or played arranged background lines. The improvisation and teamwork was flawless with this group. The lead singer started by warming up the audience, then the Saxophonist and trumpet player picked up the tune from the lead singer, and the music began. starts in earnest. After the first full combo, the tune was passed on to the baritone sax, with support from the drummer and the bass. Then, the baritone sax finished his solo, and passed the lead back to the guitarist. This process is repeated throughout the night. They were precise and in tune like a well-oiled

Of course, their entry was welcomed with cheering, but then suddenly, the signer asked us to be silent. He pulled out his classical guitar and started to play their most beautiful song as the other members of the group were adjusting to his music with little or no instrument. The moment he begun the signing part, the whole theater was hanging from his lips. In my whole life, I had never heard such a beautiful and light voice as his. It was like the most perfect sound in the world. Of course I recorded it on my cellphone but today, when I listen to it, it’s nothing compared to the live

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
