ARock Concert
Have you ever experienced an overload of every sense at
once? Well,
rock concerts can almost take you there. I went to see AC/DC in
the spring of
1991, and it was truly a festival of sensory overloads. My body
felt as if they
stimulated it in every area to its complete capacity.
The level of sound was so astronomical. The decibel
level was on the
threshold of pain. The music roared through the streets for
miles, outside the
coliseum. Every time the bass drum was struck, I could feel the
repercussion in
the organs within my chest. It even made my teeth chatter. The
concrete floor
beneath me seemed to move with the beat of each song.
The number of people was enormous. I had to actually
become one with
the people next to me. The crowd provided or allowed no personal
space. We
were all packed in there liked caged wildcats. I had to move as
the crowd
allowed or insisted. Everything was done as a group. There were
no individuals
here. It was only one group of crazed fans fighting for that one
glimpse of
their favorite band. The crowd would shift as people passed out.
This only
allowed me to move closer to the front. As you can tell, I was
packed in until
the end.
Your sight was not left out either. Plenty of pyrotechnics
kept your eyes
filled with colorful wonder as the music played on. Souvenir
"AC/DC money" fell
from the top of the building. The bills fluttered down to the
hungry hands of
the crowd. The stage was a constant flurry of excitement. This
was generally
caused by the hyperactive guitarist, Angus Young. Angus was never
at a stand
still. He wore a path in the floor running back and forth.
Brian Johnson, the
singer, also aided in the constant "food for your eyes." These
guys made the
show spectacular. At no point was there a lull in the show.
The light and fireworks kept me craving more. A fireball
would fly to
the left, then to the right. The crowd was kept in a constant
trance. If you
love to have every sense tantalized, then try going to a concert
by your
favorite band. I love it every time.
