There is no abyss on earth deeper than the one where I store my concert videos. I take a video at every concert I go to and I genuinely think that I have never, not even once, revisited a single one of those videos. If I want to hear a song, I’ll just play it on Spotify. Why would I, instead, opt to scroll through my camera roll for three minutes to find a 30 second video where all you can hear is me singing some of the correct lyrics and the guy next to me breathing? Am I going to continue taking videos at every concert I go to in the future? Yes, thank you for asking.
We’re all just being polite whenever we cheer for the standup bassist’s solo, right? Or are we actually supposed to enjoy that part of the song? Don’t get me wrong, I love a standup bass1 as much as the next guy, but when you go from an epic saxophone solo to some sweaty guy struggling to hold up this massive violin and plucking one string at a time it’s a bit of a let down. No offense.
Does standing up for that long not bother anyone else besides me? I spend half of every concert that I go to shaking out my legs and stretching.
Because of the aforementioned gripe, I prefer seated concerts 100x more than standing ones.
People who do interpretive dancing during concerts should be barred from the venue forever.
A standup bass can also be referred to as a double bass, an upright bass, or a contrabass. Also, for those of you keeping track at home, this is my first ever footnote!
