concert journal part 1

Starting a concert journal has been a fantastic way to document and cherish my live music experiences. Looking back at my early entries from 2015 and 2016, I realize how much those meet and greet events shaped my connection with the artists. For example, attending the Cimorelli concert at Keswick Theatre in Glenside, PA, was unforgettable. The intimate setting, combined with the meet and greet, really deepened my appreciation for their music and personalities. The setlist included songs like "That Girl" and "Hearts on Fire," which still bring back vivid memories. In 2016, I also attended the Hey Violet concert at the Avilion, which was equally thrilling. The band’s energy and their tracks such as "Guys My Age" and "Break My Heart" created an electric atmosphere. Documenting these shows in my journal helps me relive the excitement and the emotions tied to these special moments. I’ve been debating whether to include my Disney on Ice show experiences in this journal. While they are different from concerts, they still hold special memories that contribute to my overall love for live performances. Including a variety of events, from pop concerts to ice shows, can provide a richer perspective on entertainment I’ve enjoyed over the years. Keeping a concert journal has also inspired me to be more present during shows, taking note of details like venue atmospheres, crowd interactions, and setlists. It’s a rewarding hobby that enhances the concert-going experience, encouraging deeper engagement and reflection. For anyone passionate about live music and memories, starting your own concert journal could be a fulfilling way to celebrate your musical journey.
