Perhaps
one of my favourite things in the world is going to gigs. I love the atmosphere
and the electricity in the room, with it being one of the view things that I
actually get an adrenaline rush from. I always end up thinking about how
amazing it must be for the artist to know that everyone in that room is there
for them and their music. I think my favourite part is listening to the crowd
sing every single word of a song back, carrying the tune and being a small
choir of fans. I’m always awe-struck at the sole fact that I have at least one
thing in common with every single person in that room.
I’ve
been meaning to write this blog post for weeks but either ha ven’t had the motivation
or time (bad Amy) because earlier this month I saw Bastille at the Cambridge
Corn Exchange. I love this venue because it’s small. The crowd is large enough
to create a great atmosphere but, it means no matter where you are you’re close
to the act. Bastille were on form as
always, smashing every note of every song. Their haunting sound, struck a note with
us being treated with some new songs- YAY!
However,
the crowd was perhaps one of the most annoying I’ve ever been in. Now the majority
of them I’m sure were lovely people but, I think I ended up being next to some
of the most annoying young girls, whom clashed with some of the most boring
girls. So it wasn’t perhaps the happiest atmosphere but, don’t worry I did not
let that get the better of me! I trooped on and it was an awesome gig.
So all
in all I can confirm from Reading and now that Bastille are remarkable and
sound exactly like they do on record. I adore that feeling of looking forward
to a gig all week, doing your research, looking up the set list, queuing to go
in, standing through the support acts and finally seeing what you’ve been
waiting for. Then coming out and realising you have to wait a couple of months
until you get to live this experience again. So now I’m left with watching
concerts on YouTube, until November when I get to see my boys 5 Seconds of
Summer- Woop Woop!
