Howdy everyone,
It's sunday, which means a new blog post! Today I am going to talk a little about two clips I have found on the internet. The famous performance of 'The Who' which included the incident with the explosives and the performance by Jimmi Hendrixs performing Wild Thing in Monterey in 1967. Both clips were quite 'different' for that time. Smashing guitars on the ground, setting guitars to fire and destroying amplifiers was all part of the job. Now some people think that this is extremely offensive but I actually think it is great. Both clips contain artists that are totally being one with their music. That they destroy a thing or two in their performance is just part of that. Besides that, they also try to get some attention from the public and this is a way in which they could do this. They did not harm anyone with this and succeeded in their goals so who is there to stop them. On stage we see artists that feel totally liberated and able to destroy anything without it haveing consequences. Anyways, people may think a lot of things about it but one thing is certain, these guys made a heck of a show!
See you next sunday!

Hey everyone,
It has been a long time since my last post but I am back with a very interesting story. Every year, a concert is organized on my school in which all the musical talents can show their skills to friends and family. 2 weeks ago this concert also took place. I am not really a musical talent so I only participated in one wildcard. Also I filmed the whole concert for three days so I am quite aware of what took place and what it was like. The wildcard in which I participated was really bad as expected, but that's what wildcards are for. We sung 'Should I Stay or Should I Go' by The Clash. Anyway I thought that the quality of the rest of the performances overall was quite good. Of course there were some exeptions like freshmans sining songs by the Spice Girls. Also there were some exeptionally well performed songs. Songs like 'Son of a Preacher Men' were, in my opinion, performed really well. There are some things that I did not like about the evening though. Firstly, the concert took 4 hours, way too long I think. Also the presentation was really 'stiff' and studied. Other than that, the sound equipment was really bad which caused an overall lack of audio quality. In the end however, I think that the evening was quite fun but there are some things to work on for next year.
I'll check with you later!
