Pink concert

Post by werdna »

As a treat for my wife, we went to the Pink concert. The music was pretty average. I counted one man to every eighteen women. The best moment was just before the concert started when we heard through the pa Whitesnake's Here I Go Again at full volume. It's a great song, and it was a treat to hear the original version with Bernie Marsden on guitar. Coverdale sang the original words "like hobo I was born to walk alone". In later versions he changed this to "like a drifter …". He worried that the public would mishear the word 'hobo' and think that the song was about a gay man and loneliness.
In life, don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff.

she was wandering round the farmers market and train station with her kids the morning of the concert... not a fan but have to say she was utterly charming

My wife’s on her way with a mate to Akl now to see her. She likes Pink, will have a great time and sing along to all the words. And that’s what a concert should be all about.

I thought concerts were all about
Over priced tickets
Over priced beer
Poor sound
Smelly people
No matter where you stand a 8 foot quim stands in front
Queuing at the bar
Queuing for a piss
Better support bands
Hit in the face by a bottle
That random person who decides it’s you they want to share their life with you
Bouncers
Sore feet

:)

Big concerts are exactly that, I was standing in the crowd at G'n'R at Western Springs last year thinking "why the fuck is this fun, again?".

Small clubs when the band and crowd are going off is still awesome though.

My thoughts exactly.
Then I go to Roger Waters at the Vector Arena and come away realising I've just had the best concert experience of my life.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
