James Bay 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

The show all started from open performances from Post Malone and Moxy Raia. When buying the tickets I didn’t know who these artists were so I had to look them up. Post Malone is a rapper and guitarist, so I thought he should be good. Therefore, when I got into the arena I was excited to listen to him, but it was awful. He was so loud and he didn’t really sing. I would never want to go back and listen to him again. This got my expectations down for the concert. I definitely

The combination of Colin’s deep soulful voice and the bass pedal he used to keep a beat made the performance one that you could feel in your chest. As far as Colin’s voice is concerned, he didn’t seem to have extensive range in his vocal performance, however, he was able to maintain a consistent tone throughout each song. His songwriting felt a bit heavy handed at times, often making direct references to places or locations rather than obscuring them through metaphor as many song writers do. Regardless, it was clear that each song had personal meaning and was meant to tell a story. Everything considered the performance was definitely a good experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to see Colin again if he played a venue near

Really high and loud all night long… including my self and my friends, the audience seemed really appreciating his hit medley at the end. It made us to believe that he plays over the top with excellent showmanship. Our waitress was little busy most of that night but the cocktail was good so it was okay and the lighting was perfect. Oh, one

Tyler didn’t miss a note. He stayed energetic the whole two and a half hours. Josh drummed so intensely and was so upbeat he had the crowd rocking out. Listening to their lyrics live, I felt inspired and at home. All of their songs have a deeper meaning behind them and a life lesson that can be taken from it. They are extremely influential to their fan base. Looking at them up on the stage, I saw the happiness on their faces. I could tell they were enjoying themselves and that they wanted to be there. That is a big part of concerts.

As I watched him, I felt like the music was literally coming through him because he was so engrossed in the music and dancing. He actually stopped in the beginning of a song because he was “not feeling it enough.” He recently started performing so he has not perfected it, but he is definitely on his way. In addition, no one is perfect so I did not mind him stopping to fix that. You can tell it is very important to him to give his audience an exceptional show. Even though they did not have any special effects, it was still one of the most superlative concerts I have been to simply because of his enthusiasm and desire to give an amusing show. Most of the music was familiar and the songs that were not became my new treasured songs. One of the things that related to what I have learned in music appreciation was the use of instruments to enhance the music. Moreover, an interesting fact I learned about his music was that it was inspired from Elvis Presley. Elvis Presley played a big role in Frankie’s muse for making

He was continuously on beat with the others and he made the rhythm sound so “jazz like,” which is my most favorite type of music. The way Berg performed made me want to snap my fingers and bob my head. He did a fantastic job.

My favorite and my only concert I’ve been to was when I went and watched Lee Brice at the Sioux Empire Fair. I had went and watched with Vicki Loger, Erin Walstead, and Dallas. It was a fun experience since I have never been to a concert. I had no idea what to expect but it was fun. He was pretty good, but low expectations. His voice wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. He was little more oversized in real life which made me mad because he probably uses that weird junk to make him lose about 20 pounds. I sang along to most of his songs, but what really made me mad is that he sang his less known songs last. It was disappointing, I had a fun time with other friends though. The fair is always fun with friends, but not when Lee Brice sucks.

Overall the concert was great, but I enjoyed myself more than I expected. Their music is intimate, stylish, and passionate. If you missed out on the performance at the Jazz showcase, you be able to look up their music online or buy their most recent recordings at the Jazz showcase if you're ever in Chicago.Their next performance is Friday, July 23, and is definitely worth checking

The Peter Sommer Septet was the first concert I have ever attended in my whole life and I did actually enjoy the concert. I liked the concert because all the music had a nice flow and the entire performance was good because the performers engaged the audience by sharing what kind of music they liked to play. The genre of the all the songs that were played consisted of jazz music.

Opening night at the KC. Absolutely love-love-love Ratmansky's ODESSA!!! The steps, execution, the costumes (tacky polyester is just right here), the mood lighting, the music -- oh, how I love the music!

I loved every minute listening to TJ Magee. She was so talented. She played pop songs and mixed in a little country. It was very good. The songs were upbeat and then there were those typical slow songs. She did a very good job on her harmony and melody. I thought that her lyrics in the first song were very well written. She put so much emotion into that performance. I really felt impacted by it. The song was about how we fall in love, and when they finally leave us it is the most painful

Kanye’s concerts are one of a kind, no one can compete. Ever since Graduation, he has upped the ante. His Glow in the Dark Tour saw him talking to spaceships. The Watch the Throne tour saw him partnering with Jay-Z to rap on top of LCD screen cubes. The Yeezus Tour was crazy because he rapped in bejeweled masks for two hours straight surrounded by mountains and volcanoes, he even had conversations with Jesus. Me describing a Kanye West show is pointless. You have to experience his concerts to truly see how he has pushed the art of a live

This semester I have experience many live musical performances. Some of these performances have let me down but for the most part, these performances have been everything I ever expected. My two favorite performances this semester were Festival Vallenato and Ultra Music Festival. Although these two types of music are different in every way possible, the people and the performers are exactly where I feel I am in the right place.
