The event that I attended for my essay two humanities experience was the AC/DC concert at Wrigley field in Chicago Illinois. I consider this a humanities experience because AC/DC is a rock band and rock music is a form of art. Rock music was developed in the 50’s and 60’s and was a huge element to the humanities movement of the 20th century. Through its expression of “youth culture” dancing, sexual freedom, and rebellion made one of the greatest musical movements in history.
My experience at the concert started when we got to Wrigley field, walking through the gate people were everywhere as we (Tom and Tom’s dad) made our way up to our seats. We took a little time to walk around after finding our seats while the cover band was playing. To check out the stadium, there was this really good view of Chicago and Lake Michigan at the southeast end of the field. But then it was finally time, we made our way back to are seats just 5 minutes before we heard the first cord of angus young’s guitar begin to play “rock or bust” off their new album. With lots of bright lights, loud speakers, some fireworks, ending with cannons and their legendary song “for those about to rock we salute you” the concert was over and the entire mostly older crowd …show more content…
It actually seemed to fit right in with all of the other subjects and people that we covered. It involved a lot of loud music that some people like and some do not. There were plenty of drugs and alcohol used by the crowd like many of the figures we read about throughout our class. As well as it correlating with ‘Total art” being that I don’t think it would be the same experience unless it was seen in person as part of the art. That being said this experience showed me that I personally don’t understand all art but to try to appreciate it because without all these people’s contributions we might not have the art that I do
