On Wednesday, December 16th, or as I like to call it, one of the best days of my life, I had the privilege of attending my very first concert. I went to go see The 1975 at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, California. All of my friends knew about my infatuation with the band, due to my annoying habit of gushing about their music all the time. So last year on the 8th of September, my best friend gave me the concert tickets as a Birthday present. I had been looking forward to the concert for months, and when the day finally came, I felt both nervous and excited to go see one of my favorite bands. Their first song I ever heard was called “Medicine.” It was two in the morning and I was driving to Arizona. The sky was pitch black and glistening starts

Upon arrival we decided to make a few stops before heading to the venue. We decided to do some shopping at The Grove. Being the huge book nerd that I am, I of course had to convince my friends to come with me to Barnes and Noble first. The bookstore smelled of delicious coffee brewing and freshly printed books. It was pretty quiet as I scanned the aisles and made my way to the Science Fiction and Fantasy section to look for a book my little sister had asked me to buy her. Unfortunately, they didn’t carry that particular book, but I still walked out with two or three Stephen King novels. Afterwards we ate lunch at The Cheesecake Factory and then we went to Sephora where my friends and I all got a free fifteen minute makeover for the concert. Later we stopped by a gas station to stock up on water bottles, chips, and all kinds of unhealthy junk so we’d have something to snack on during the long wait we knew was ahead of us. Finally, we decided it was time to drive to the venue where the concert was going to take …show more content…
Suddenly, I heard groups of people screaming and noticed that they had finally caught a glance of Matty Healy, the lead guitarist and vocalist. Suddenly pink and blue lights began to flash, the audience’s excited screams began to escalate, and before I knew it, the entire band took their place on stage and commenced the best concert I’ve ever been to. I couldn’t believe that I was finally listening to them live, it felt like a dream. Hit after hit, they played all of my favorite songs. Every lyric of every single song was sung right back to Matty as he sang them out. They began to play their hit song called “The City” and it was evident that everyone was hooked from the moment the first chord was released into the audience. Matty, the vocalist and lead guitarist, was wearing an opened floral shirt and he was dancing terribly, but somehow, it was endearing, and as he pranced around like a fool, the tone for the entire rest of the show was set. Next was “Heart out,” another one of their most popular songs, and I was astounded. Matty’s vocals, the audience dancing and singing along, everything about it was perfect, it sounded even better live. But my favorite part of the entire concert was toward the end, when they began to perform their most emotional songs. They performed “Me,” a song off of their first album which clearly meant a lot to the lead singer, it was a slow song
