all things mau

You’re there with friends… and 5700 other strangers. You people watch, ogle, point, and comment with your buddies, you drink your cheap, overpriced beer, and then… the lights go down. Hopefully, if the job is done right, you’re most common sense of reality is shifted, little by little, until the walls of the world close in, and it’s just you, and the band in the tiny room of your mind. The Cheers and sing alongs around you are reflections and feedback of your own whirlwind of emotions.

This is the definition of a successful live concert going experience. One had with Arcade Fire at the Greek Theatre last night. Thanks K. Roache.

ps, this is what it was really like.
