Nelly Concert Essay

For this concert report I chose to go to a performance of student composers held at the Kimball Recital Hall. I chose this one because I wanted to see some of the talent that my peers have in the music realm, and also it was one of the only concerts I have been able to attend because I usually work at night. It was impressive to hear pieces composed by students. I cannot imagine creating something as complex as a musical composition, much less actually performing it, so this aspect of the concert was particularly awe-inspiring. There was a large attendance, and I think that much of the audience consisted of friends of the composers and/or performers. I went with three friends, who I convinced by telling it would be interesting to see

Dr. Carol Williams’s organ plays were just fantastic. Despite the fact that seeing the instrument called, “organ” was my first time, it was pretty impressive how that instrument worked. All the pedals and the three layers of keyboards were just as complicated as a calculus math problem. The concert was played at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion at Balboa Park. The surrounding was not too bad. Although the concert day was Sunday, it was quite crowded. Besides the crowdedness, the surroundings were not too rough. All ages were welcome to seat and enjoy the sounds of organ. I saw mostly old aged audiences and I saw a little amount of college aged audiences with the music report information on their hands.

the first band took the stage. The first band was my favorite of the three, Fuel. Fuel made

Early Monday morning I woke up to the sound of mom and dad telling me that I had to get dressed. After groggily, rising out of bed and brushing my teeth, moreover, I had realized why I was in a hotel. Everything came flooding back to me. Mom, Dad, and Abby were all with me and we were in Columbia, Missouri and were about to leave for Jefferson City Missouri. I wore a brand new suit coat, a white collared shirt, a red tie and a nice pair of black pants. I also loaded up my violin because I was to perform in the interfaith church service at 9:00. The performance was only part of a whole list of events that took place that day. First was the interfaith service for the Governor Elect Eric Greitens. Along with Attorney General Joshua Hawley. I myself did not perform a solo, but did

There was so much speculation as to what the band would open with for their 25th anniversary show, and in the most spectacular fashion, they opened with one for their oldest songs, The Song That Jane likes. To make that moment even more special, Dave's sister Jane was in the crowd watching the show. After a stellar opener, the band was no doubt feeding off the crowd's energy. 6 songs into the set list was when the audience was caught off guard by the 1st of the 3 new songs to be debuted that night. The 3 new songs played that night held the titles of, Samurai Cop, Bob Law, and Bismarck. All of them were very highly received by an ecstatic crowd. The band did a fantastic job of blending old classics in with their new age material to keep the energy up. In another surprising turn of events, the band liberated 2 songs that had not been played in years, the 1st of the 2 being a fan favorite, Sugar Will, and the 2nd being the legendary song, The Last Stop.

The concert started with a trio; pianist, bassist and drummer. I was not able to take notes since I did not bring any pens or pencils and paper with me to write it down, and I did not want to disturb other people with the light of my phone, so I decided to fully enjoy the music first. Interestingly, I could not find any list of songs they were gonna play. I wish there were list of songs in order to remember the songs better.

The lights would turn off, a song would start playing and everyone would cheer for the new singer.Those are the memories of my very first concert. Tyler Farr,Rodney Atkins and Miranda Lambert were the best 3 out of 7.

After that session we all decided to go to the monkeys concert later that night. We weren’t going to watch and or listen to the monkeys! We were going to go mess with the people actually going to the concert! Later that night we made the drive from Long Island down to Queens. We made it outside the monkeys concert just laughing and pointing at the monkey fans. We meant some people doing the same thing. So we met up with a couple guys named Eric and Dan. Both high school students from the outskirts of Queens. Eric told us that there is a Rolling Stones concert down at Shea Stadium right now. They said they would of went but it was sold out. The concert started at 8:00, at the moment it was 5:00. Archie and Jimmy really wanted to go the concert so didn’t all of us but there was no way we were going to get in the venue without a

We passed time by talking to 2 of the members: Christian Davis and Jeff Parker. Christian used to be the bass voice for the band, but he quit during September of 2015, after my concert. Jeff Parker is the guy that sings really high for the band. I would call him a tenor, but he sings really high. The sad thing, though, is that Jeff had a cold that night, so he didn’t talk too much. By the time we actually got into the auditorium, I was really pumped. I had already known that these people were amazingly funny, so I was prepared to sing along, and laugh until I couldn’t laugh

The following morning Christina and the band woke up just as they did any other day on tour. Crew members entered the Plaza Live, one of Orlando's oldest theaters, to begin setting up. It is a smaller, orchestra-type venue. It only comfortably holds around 900 - 1,200 people depending on the stances of the audience. As lights were placed, banners were hung, and merchandise was laid out, Christina and her fellow tour buddies hit the stage for sound check. Throughout the day around 250-300 fans eagerly began lining up for the show that was planned to start at approximately 7:30 P.M., with doors opening at 7:00. Loibl made his way to the venue, stopping in a nearby Old Navy to buy a black baseball hat and a bottle of water around 6:54 P.M. He

As we all waited in line to go into the concert there was a thrill of

     Anyway, “Can’t buy me love”, “Help”, and “ Yesterday” were the next songs played. “Can’t buy me love”, “Help”, were mediocre, but “Yesterday” was impressive. I have always liked that song, and it was good to hear it live. Not to mention, the band players were very good with their instruments. “A ticket to Ride”, and “She loves You”, were to follow. The festival was being sponsored by 104.5 fm, and the DJ from 104.5 named Bruce something or other, stepped in and played drums on “She loves You”. He said that he had always wanted to play with the Beatles, and what an honor it was to be able to do this. And I’m not doubting his enthusiasm, but, I think that the whole thing was rigged. The next song was the last song before the band took their one and only break of the night. Very impressive, that this band is putting on a show like they were getting $20/ ticket. They played for about an hour and a quarter before taking the break.

Radio City Music Hall’s opening night performance didn’t go as planned. A torrential downpour and traffic jams delayed many of the

This afternoon, I went to the music concert hall where is located in the music building for the listening hour, a small noon-time concert which is performed by the staff and students from the music majors. Since it is a free noon-time concert, most of the audiences just wear the t-shirts and jeans to the concert. Dresses are not required for the concert. The performance today is given by the Ananda Jazz Ensemble. They have played “Running Away”, composed by Bob Marley; “Madalena”, composed by Ivan Linz; “Conejitos y Ananda”, composed by Abi Romero; “La Bikina”, composed by Ruben Fuentes; and “Chukaro”, also composed by Abi Romero. Because this is a Latin Americdan Journey, all of the music performed is jazz music. All pieces played in the concert are an ensemble of piano, bass, and drums. During the concert, I was trying to be a perceptive listener; I enjoyed the music with concentration and paid attention to the music’s unity and variety, such as the dynamics and tempos. I also tried to associate the music with a picture when I listened to it and understand the emotion in the music.

About a year ago, my father, my sister, and I, went to go attend a live concert because I had never viewed one before. Although, both my sister, and father had seen many concerts before me (thank you my beloved family for leaving me alone with no form of entertainment, every time you left for a concert). We planned to see the band Blink182, one of my family’s favorite punk rock bands, in Maine. There are three main parts to this wonderful journey, it begins with the drive, then the actual concert, and finally the drive back, which were all equally entertaining (in my opinion). It was an outdoor concert, but I would have preferred an indoor concert because functioning bathrooms are really important to me, but I did not complain. My sister and I anticipated the day we would leave to see the wonderful Maine we had heard so much about from our father. All we had to do, was wait.
