I'd forgotten what it's like to really feel music, literally and figuratively.
To feel the bass in your gut
To feel the layers of music wash over you
To feel the emotion of the lyrics
To feel everyone around you feeling the same
It was incredible, I've missed it so much without realising.
Whelan's was amazing
The crowd were amazing. I spent a while just looking at the crowd, watching people loving it
Arab Strap were amazing. Or maybe they were just a band I love performing decently. I'm not going to analyse it, I'm just going to love it. And look for my next gig...!
(incidentally, I'm sober! Had to drive home)
Its such a buzz going to live music, the energy is just cracking... I've now been to 32 gigs since February and each one has been like what you described above - as an atheist, I'm guessing its the closest thing to true devout religion that I'll ever experience...
