monster mash

went to see monsters of folk at the academy of music last night with christine. it was absolutely incredible. so much more than a show. it was a whole experience as corny as that sounds. we had box seats on the floor really close to the stage. the academy of music a beautiful place to be- the ceiling goes on forever and everything feels warmer. the band all wore suits and had such an incredible energy- you could look at over the audience at any point in time and everyone seemed to be silently watching, mesmerized by their performance. they played a mix of songs from their collaborative body and individual projects. the lighting was absolutely swoon worthy. one minute there were colors everywhere, reaching out to the audience and another there were dusty silhouettes against a wall of white light. my favorite was when they would shine a single spot light on the players- it really drew attention to how large the stage was. it was aboslutely incredible. i had goosebumps the entire time. at the end, everyone gave them a standing ovation and continued to stand through the encore. it really made me re-realize how much i love live music. it was such a positive experience. i forgot about that feeling of connectedness that goes along with sharing something so beautiful.
