Emøtiønal Røadshøw: Concert Kick Off

Summer Time, Concert Time

The beginning of summer can mean a lot of things, for students, it means a break from school, for parents it means having their kids around 24/7, for young adults in the working world it means having to deal with the fact there is no longer such a thing as "summer vacation". For myself, it means the beginning of summer concerts.

I've worked in radio for almost two years now, and the best part of my job has been, and will always be the ability to see various artists perform live. 

Most of my friends are very aware of just how many concerts I go to, and that I am someone who is always willing to buy tickets for a concert. In all honestly, most of my paycheck is spent on concert tickets.

My concert kick off began last night, at the All State Arena in Rosemont seeing Twenty-One Pilots.

The Few, The Proud, The Emotional 
The Emotional Roadshow Tour was incredible. Not only because Tyler and Josh are such incredible artists and performances, but because this band has established a special place within my music roster. 

Someone special to me actually introduced me to Twenty-One Pilots almost six months ago. I was lying on the couch, while a playlist of every Twenty-One Pilots song played in the background.
 I first came across Twenty One Pilots back in 2013, and never really gave them much thought. The first song I had ever heard was "House of Gold", and while I thought it was catchy, I didn't see the hype that everyone else did.  

It wasn't until I heard, lead singer, Tyler Joesph's cover of "Can't Help Falling in Love" on Youtube, that I was hooked.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for cover songs.

That being said, I was insanely excited that during last night's concert they covered: "Twist and Shout", "Jump Around," "My Love Will Go On" AND "Love Yourself" (Yes, Twenty-One Pilots covered a Justin Beiber song, and I loved every minute of it).

Tyler's vocals are just stunning. Over and over during the concert, the only thing I could think of was just how incredible Tyler and Josh sounded, and just much energy they put into their set.
Watching Josh, on the drums, was incredible to watch, it was like watching a dancer, he was just so sure of each hit that it looked effortless, while energetic at the same time.
Tyler's voice sounds amazing live, and how he interacts and feeds off the crowd and yet is so immersed in his music at the same time.


It's Our Hearts That Make The Beat

This is my second Twenty-One Pilots concert, and the more the band grows the more excited I am to see how their music does as well. The summer concert series has just started, so thank Josh and Tyler, for setting the bar high.

Stay tuned for what concert comes next!
xoxo
