The Killers
I watched The Killers in San Diego, California. Event was the Wrex the hall 2012 on December 7th. It was my first rock concert I had been too. I have been to reggae, rap and a few house dj concerts but never a rock. Definitely a different crowd comes to these events. For the majority they are mostly white Americans and they seem to be passionate about the music being played at the time. Not so much dancing but a lot more singing along with Brandon Flowers with some jumping up and down. From the events I have gone to this one was more passionate but I enjoy dancing a little so that is the only compliant I have about it.
The energy shown by the crowd was amazing it was great to experience. The arena we were in also was neat and the fact that I was in the pit it felt like everyone in the stands were looking down at you as if you were the musician. It was the first time I listen to more than one song of The Killers consecutively and with the crowd around me and the energy from the people I felt as if I was a fan. It was easy going and the music was great.
The song I have grown to like from them is Mr. Brightside which is played on the radio a lot and was one of two reasons why I went to the concert. The song performed live is a lot better than I expected because when I view performances on youtube you see the singer getting the crowd involved way too much and he does not do much of the singing so it defeats the purpose of paying to see the musician perform his piece. Brandon Flowers the lead singer of the Killers did just the right amount, I have the entire performance recorded on my iPhone and he lets us get in on a little bit of the song but does not overdue it. The Killers were a great band from previous experiences I have had with sound and energy. I only went into the venue right in time for The Killers so I did not get to listen in on other rock bands and how they do live, but from the other genres I have been too and comparing it

    The Concert (A Musical Party) is an oil on canvas, Baroque period painting completed by the Flemish painter Theodoor Rombouts circa 1620. The work portrays a group of five costumed musicians around a table covered with a Persian tapestry rug. Of the five performers, there are four men and one woman. The four men are playing various instruments, the woman appearing to be the vocalist. The play of deep shadows and bright highlights present in this painting make the overall use of chiaroscuro more pronounced, reflecting the strong influence of Caravaggio, a revolutionary Italian painter who Rombouts studied under. Caravaggio’s works, which combine the realistic rendering of the human state with a dramatic use of lighting, had a formative effect…

    This rare concert jersey was purchased at a concert at Royce Hall in 1979. This is from my own collection, and I bought it after the concert. Royce Hall was a venue at UCLA in southern California. This was at the time when the Move It on Over album was getting a lot of airplay. I only wore it once and it has been stored away since then.…

    Although I am beginning to appreciate classical music more, I personally enjoy music with words more than music without words. When songs have words I pay more attention trying to figure what the storyline is behind the song. I am very into music all genres such as, pop, country, rock, reggae, and so on. I am open to listening to anything new, which is why I enjoy going to different music events such as this block party. Overall, I enjoyed this performance very much and I am glad I got to see such a great band perform for free, thanks to Utica College. I wish I could have listened to more but I am glad I got to hear a few musical selections before the event was…

    Salsa Jazz Concert Report

    • 4 Pages

    It’s not really the type of concert I would have typically gone to for fun but I did enjoy myself. I think the fact that it was salsa made it more interesting since I am Hispanic. I caught myself bobbing my head to the rhythm, clapping my hands, and tapping my foot in some of the performances. One of my friends was in the concert so it was nice to see him play on the drums and how he had a solo. Also another guy from my jazz class was in the concert and he played very well and it was riveting to see the way he played his solo on the sax. I don’t know if I would ever go to another jazz concert for fun but who knows maybe I would if it was a salsa one. I am glad that I got to go and see this because I probably would not have experienced this if it wasn’t because I had to. It did open up my eyes more to the world of jazz and seeing how different it is to see them playing live than from a computer or just listening to the songs. To see it all happening was fascinating. I would tell anyone that they should go some time in their life to a jazz concert, specifically a salsa one. If I out of everyone enjoyed it than anyone…

    Their concert wasn't just any ordinary concert. They make you feel like you are a part of the experience and engages with the audience in a way you feel like you already know them and feel like you are having a conversation with a good friend. They made a video to promote their spring showcase and they introduced themselves and talked about each other, so that the viewers can get to know them. Every member seemed like they were proud to be a part of Sympathetic Vibrations. Every time they sing, they always say back and forth and do little dance moves, which added energy to their performances. They demonstrated great dynamics and each part had different times in which when they crescendo and decrescendo. Although their pitches were in a different octave than the original song, their pitches were accurate with the key they…

    Seeing them in concert was amazing, because of their passion for what they do. You could see that they knew their music made an impact, and that drove them. How their music changes people’s lives leaves me in awe. The music doesn’t just change lives it has saved them. There is no better example than the man who saved his own life after hearing “I’m Moving On”. Or even the experience they gave a women…

    The end of the 70’s brought in bands such as Van Halen and Aerosmith, but as the 80’s began some heavy metal bands started a fashion trend called glam metal. Motley Crue and W.A.S.P. are just two of the many bands. The band members had long hair, wore makeup and tight leather or spandex pants and boots. The music was about being wild and care-free. The other sub-genre that was introduced was called thrash metal. These bands played faster and more aggressive. Bands such as Megadeth, Anthrax and Metallica had many fans and still do today. My brother introduced me to Metallica in 1989. I fell in love with their sound. I now own all of their albums and consider myself a true, die-hard fan. As the new decade came in, I didn’t listen to a lot of heavy metal, but when I did, I could tell there were some changes.…

    I went straight back to practicing because the concert would come to me in a blink of an eye. My heard was beating so hard it felt like someone was pounding hammer on my chest, I was shaking, sweating, disey, everything you could possibly imagine I felt like I was about to faint. Guitar has been one of they most important things in my life since I first started at age 6 and it just started to come naturally. I was doing great while practicing and had finally nailed every song I played. Playing up on this stage with this band would soon decide my future, if I fail I could never get this chance again and if I do good I could soon be playing all the time, my dream would come true. I had always had my own band with my friends since a young age and we were good but had never played on a stage, and if I were to do good at the concert my band also could start to become…
