I’ve always loved going to see live shows since I was a kid. In my early 50s now, I still love it and go to as many as I can, I probably average one or two a month at this point. Over the last few days, I caught two very different shows that were both amazing in their own ways.
This past Saturday was Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie at the local big outdoor amphitheater. Manson fucking killed it! Honestly one of the greatest shows I’ve been to in a long time, they were some of the best performers (with a giant stage show) that I’ve ever seen. I was there mostly to see them, and they didn’t disappoint, they sounded SO good. I mostly go to small venues, so it was super fun to see a big show like that. The Rob Zombie set was even bigger/brighter/flashier/everything stage show, and was a ton of fun to watch, but the actual performance wasn’t as good as Manson. Still incredibly fun though, 10/10, had a fucking good time.
Then last night was a small club for Suicidal Tendencies with Cro-Mags opening. Holy shit. ENERGY. Harley does one thing, but it’s a fun thing to watch. And when ST hit the stage, it was ridiculous. Constant movement, constant huge energy, constant sing-along anthems, Mike moves like he’s 30 years younger than he is, and he doesn’t stop. The crowd was going OFF all night, it was amazing just to be in that room, and part of that.
I’ve had a massive smile on my face for the last four days now, and it’s all thanks to going out and seeing bands play live. I feel rejuvenated from it every time, and hope I can keep doing it for another 50 years
