Listening To A Concert Analysis

Experiencing a concert live is breath taking because it comes to realization how much work the artist has put into the music and choreography. Listening to the album is based off of visuals in your head as of what is going on in the song, or how the story is being played out. The concert is about giving the fans a show, but artist also let fans join in on the songs while they sing it just to see how many people actually listen to the music that they have been putting out. You could anticipate similarities and differences when comparing an album and a concert, but would you really know how much would change or what would sound different in an arena compared to your headphones, I don’t think many could. Going in to a concert your heart is racing from anticipation and your nerves are very high because you’re not quite sure what to expect. Listening to an album for the first time is like analyzing a something, you like the artist but are you sure you’re going to like the album?

It’s hard to pick a favorite song when you don’t skip any, but its also enjoyable because you listen to the music more deeply to try and dissect the piece you feel that could be left out or added in. Same Ole Mistake maybe my favorite song on the album because of how many different aspects the producer put into the song from the tempo change to the use of many instruments like the banjo. I could see myself making a beat with some of the same instruments and tempo changes because it makes you go back and listen again to make sure you didn’t miss something that happened in that part of the sing because of how complex it is. Rihanna really channels a part of you that tends to make you want to listen to more of her album, and which you can really tell because each song kind of has a story behind it. Artist use concerts as a visual aspect and as something that will allow their fan to sing along and enjoy their music in a different way it sounds on the album. Rihanna’s Anti tour was all of that and more, she brought along a special guest in Travis Scott who is really …show more content…
The album tracks play a huge role on how they prepare for concerts because there’s a live band and some things wont sound exactly the same, and being able to imitate an computerized band is almost impossible because you can fix mistake when you make them on the computer. When playing live a mistake is supposed to be forgotten about in that split second that it was made. Sounds from a recording studio are different from an open arena also, the reverb and Eco’s can vary from each arena because of the different shapes and sizes of the venues. Just seeing how an album can translate to a concert is amazing, so many things change but it all seems to be the same. The live aspect just gives the fan more than the album did, while still being able to enjoys the album they enjoyed in their home, car, or
