Come together...right now.

This past Thursday I went to the Allstate Arena to see Weezer and Angels & Airwaves play. It was such an incredible concert - totally worth the exhaustion I felt on Friday. But besides screaming out the lyrics as the bands sang them, I looked around at the crowd I saw. The variety of people at concerts is always interesting, but it was especially so at this one. I saw ages ranging from around eight years old up to about fifty - talk about surprise! Eight year olds out until midnight on a Thursday night?! Granted, they were mostly there because their parents were fans, but still. I doubt my parents would've done that with me ten years ago. There was also that group there (that are always there) that you'd honestly be afraid to talk to, they're so...eccentric. But there they are, and the parents with their kids, and me with my friends all doing the same thing. We're all standing up, jumping around, having the time of our lives to this music that brings us together. For that short period of time, we were all feeling the same awe that can only come from seeing our favorite bands live. It seems that people don't really question what you do when you're at a concert, being moved by the music coming from the stage. It's a nice feeling, and I really enjoy it. I think it's a great way to let loose and just go where the music takes you and to feel that connection with everyone else there.
