On September 26 of 2017 I attended the Matchbox 20 concert at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in Maryland Heights, Missouri. Matchbox 20 is an American pop/rock band. The band consist of five members, Rob Thomas, Kyle Cook, Brian Yale, Adam Gaynor, and Paul Doucette. Each member of the band plays at least 3 instruments and rotates who is playing what instrument in many of their hit songs. Matchbox 20 has been around since 1995, and has visited St.Louis numerous times. From the start of the concert I knew it would be a fun night due to the uplifting music, upbeat attitude of the band, and the rowdy crowd. I was 3 rows away from the stage when the arena suddenly went pitch black and Matchbox 20 entered the stage. From the second the arena went dark to the very end of the show people were screaming and signing along to every song without missing a beat. When they opened with “Real World” and I instantly knew that this was going to be one of the best nights of my life. I …show more content…
Together it was fun to sing and dance alongside my built in best friend. Saying that I enjoyed the concert would be an understatement. I still love the band’s music like I did before the concert, but now I appreciate the music more than what I ever did before I went to this show. Being in the Music in America class I now appreciate the talent and hard work that artist put into composing, performing, and shows all together. I never thought about how many people it takes to put on a show until I watched all of the different light and color changes throughout the show. I will continue to see Matchbox 20 any time they come to St.Louis, Oakland, Scottsdale, or New York City. Altogether the band puts together an amazing and high tech show, that captures thousands of people and truly made me appreciate artist all

    Write An Argumentative Essay On Drake

    Also being that the venue was indoors helped the atmosphere. In my opinion, I really enjoyed the concert because I love listening to his music and having him perform it live in front of me was amazing, you also felt as if you were going on an emotional journey with drake through his life, with ups and the downs being highlighted throughout his music. The quality of the live music was really good compared to some live performances I’ve been as it was clear and didn’t sound a lot different to the studio recordings. I felt that the audience really enjoyed his concert too, they were singing and rapping along for the entire concert and couldn’t have seemed to love him more. My overall impression of the concert was that drake is a really talented performer and knows how to get a crowd hyped up, he uses a lot of emotion in his songs which really creates a deep intimacy in his slower songs and helps him to connect with his audience. He is an incredibly talented singer/rapper and songwriter and is a very worthwhile…

    Personal Narrative: A Post-Hardcore Band In Concert

    We saw many bands that day, some of them being my favorites or soon to be favorites. I feel that you never get to actually get a band until you have seen them live, because once you see how they interact with their own music, you really get to see them for them, and understand why they're doing this. Each and every one of the artists were…

    The probing thing is that, despite that I, and many other personally don’t think Kid Rock is very good, there was a bursting audience, with the price of a ticket at $60 or more. The crowd had no precise feeling, there were families, normal casino types, some younger faces, but really, no one demographic was exactly represented.…

    Dunnkirk Music Observation

    Also, people could stand on the balconies on the top and watch the concert, which was interesting. Most of the audience seemed to be college students who knew the Cash Cash songs already, just as I did. Cash Cash is a group of DJs, so the three guys stood at the front of the stage and one of them did the music on the computer, while one of them did the music on the DJ board. It seemed like they were making the music as they were going along because they were listening to their headphones and planning the music on the computer and DJ board. The other one seemed to be the entertainer, so he walked around the stage and even came into the crowd. All three of the guys were white men about 20 or 30 and dressed in all black. They set up the stage in a very unique way because they had large black things on both sides and during the concert, they stuffed them with white confetti and the confetti blew throughout the room with the force of air. This was very neat to see since I was in the front and it added a lot more to the concert. Also, there were bright neon lights flashing throughout the concert, as shown in the video…

    How To Describe A Whoville Concert

    Today I went to Holiday in Whoville concert with Kelly together. It is really a very good experience for me because this concert is very different than other concerts that I have been before. Compare to other concerts this concert is more like a big party for me. When the singers sing the songs on the stage, all the audience can sing along with them together. In addition, because it is almost Christmas so all the songs are relevant to Christmas. There is a chamber choir of 25 singers and one piano accompaniment.…

    The first song that Stephanie Aaron sang was a light hearted song about not being happier than with her (person) and dancing cheek to cheek. The song was very reminiscent of a certain video game franchise which made me like it even more. The concert mostly consisted of songs including the piano and singer, ensemble and singer, or just the ensemble. The variety in the performance was very refreshing and made for a “unforgettable” experience.…

    I do not think any words could have truly described how I nor the rest of the audience felt during that performance. The opinions and analogies of the pieces found in the program notes did slightly influence me. I agreed with and understood most opinions and comments of the performances. The listenings I did for my pre-concert assignment were not nearly the same thing as being in the auditorium. It was a completely different experience to see, hear and feel the performance in person as opposed to watching a video on a screen and trying to listen to the depth of the orchestra through…

    As stated before the concert was not what I was expecting. I enjoyed it more than I believed I would, it certainly isn’t my new favorite type of music, but understanding aspects of it gave me a greater appreciation for the music and the musicians. Things such as a recognizable basso ostinato set by the base player were a familiar starting point. When the soloists needed an accompaniment the bassist varied the continuous rhythm to compliment what the soloist was playing, otherwise, the beat was…

    Personal Narrative-The Northern Invasion

    One of the first bands of the day that I loved was Asking Alexandria. They were playing at the third stage which was to the right of the main stage. When we walked over there after Payable On Death (P.O.D) there had to be at least 300 people waiting for the band to walk out on the stage. My mom and I tried to get closer to the stage but there were too many people and we didn’t want to be rude so we stopped. We were in an ok spot, but it would have been nice to be closer. The Asking Alexandria walked onto the stage about fifteen minutes later after we got there.…

    Orchestra Concert Review Essay

    The emotions expressed by not only the music but by how the musicians looked while playing these pieces made me believe that this show meant a lot to them because they would sway to the music when they weren’t playing. It had my emotions spiral out of control because some of the music was happy then it turned sad in an instance, then it would go right back to something whimsical. It’s not the typical kind of music that I would listen to daily but I am happy that I got to attend this event and hear something that I wouldn’t normally.…

    Descriptive Writing About A Concert

    I have always been waiting for this day. It gave me the anticipation as I saw the city I’m in, listed in the tour schedule. I cannot contain my excitement as I bought my ticket. I even bought an outfit I was going to wear for this very special day. It was such an experience from the moment we arrived at the event, during, and until it was over. The combination of this phenomenal band, the massiveness of the stadium, and the sense of community in the audience was definitely an unforgettable experience. The stadium is important because it allows us to connect with people whether it’s a concert event or sports event.…

    Music Concert Report Sample

    It was very exciting to see these choirs sing with such passion. I also really liked listening to instruments live. I would rather listen to a pipe organ being played live than on a CD too. In my opinion the pipe organ sounds a lot better when it is played live too. This concert allowed me to hear new instruments live, which was a tremendously amazing experience. I was really impressed by the tenor and alto voices sang by all of the choirs, therefore by seeing this music live I was able to hear all the different types of voices. Lastly, I truly enjoyed all the cadenzas and solos that I heard during this concert. This concert was an experience that I will never forget because it was so…

    I enjoyed hearing everyone that performed. I was very blown away with this performance. I am very glad that this campuses faculty is so joined together even if it is doing small concerts like this. I wish that I was able to hear the second act play but I guess I will have to go back and go to their last concert that they are performing this year. If I would have stuck with playing an instrument in college I would love to be involved in activities like concerts to perform for the whole school. I can not wait to go to other concerts that the school puts on but I hope that the audience in the next performances show a little more respect for the individuals playing and not stay on their phone for the whole time with the brightness up because it is very…
