There was something about the day, about it raining that night, about hopes going up and down and being blessed by God. And honestly, that's the only concert where God's so visibly shown me a quality about Himself.Kjelsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17224677853857482645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991895331380725469.post-74052392757329116862010-08-06T09:21:34.497-06:002010-08-06T09:21:34.497-06:00Probably Barlowgirl's concert in October 2009....Probably Barlowgirl's concert in October 2009. I don't even remember what date it was or who else played... (now that I think of it, I think VOTA was there too) but I remember walking away from that concert with hope, singing "Though it won't be today, someday I'll hope again". That meant more to me than any other concert so far.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11261050002078455375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991895331380725469.post-62945224555052344832010-08-04T01:34:35.050-06:002010-08-04T01:34:35.050-06:00Im glad you've had such good memories with con...Im glad you've had such good memories with concerts and decided to share them with us!<br /><br />I have only been to two concerts Flyleaf at a fair before i was Christian ( i went more for the roadtrip and being with friends) so i dont consider that my first concert.<br /><br />My other was Satellites and Sirens, Decyfer Down and DISCIPLE in april '10. Which we traveled 3 hours, waited outside for at least another 3 and got in for free! There were so many amazing songs, emotions and memories in that one night. It will always have a special place in my heart because of Kevin's preaching, it was as though he was talking right to me, answer questions i didnt know how to ask and telling me things i needed to hear. It was the first time (in 7 months of being a Christian) that i truely felt God fill a room and speak. Im afraid it might have ruined other concerts for me though :oops: because i dont know if any other band or any other show will top it...but we will have to wait and see. My goal for future concerts. Travel to another state(hopefully texas) to see disciple and/or skillet. And go to my first Christian festival in the next two years.<br /><br />Hope you have a great time on your trip.Lethiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07902452460741604084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991895331380725469.post-7439498575061444582010-08-02T22:45:21.892-06:002010-08-02T22:45:21.892-06:00"Five Random Other Goals

It was such a huge splurge at the time and so much fun. But best live music experience--well, that would probably have to be pretty much all the singing at the Sakeji 75th anniversary reunion in 2000. Especially singing the school hymn (well, trying to while sobbing) and one evening everyone singing "There is a Redeemer" together. I still get choked up when I think about it.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06256609816116022592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991895331380725469.post-22328260376121246752010-08-02T14:37:16.473-06:002010-08-02T14:37:16.473-06:00That journal entry is both sad and very amusing, c...That journal entry is both sad and very amusing, considering your current position on contemporary music. <br /><br />Seven Places actually got back together for another album in 2007, but it wasn't original enough for me to buy it (I have their other two CDs. The main attraction is their lyrics stand out from other artists, so I still have a lot of respect for them despite not liking their sound as much now [too upbeat] but their new CD doesn't ). They were one of my very favorite bands for a while, which started with the concert I went to on that same tour. :lol:<br /><br />The best show I've been to...hm...I really loved the Disciple concert at AtlantaFest. I know I liked Skillet's ATLFest show more than the other two I've attended, so that's a LOT of likingness, but for some reason I don't have a clear memory of it now or I'd say it's my favorite.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310348319148017567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991895331380725469.post-58255655528698562872010-08-02T14:23:34.258-06:002010-08-02T14:23:34.258-06:00Skillet at Sonshine 2009.

The main reason they were so memorable was because I could clearly see God there, even when I wasn't expecting it. <br />Sonshine 2009: Skillet performing "How Deep The Father's Love For Us" and the speech that went with that. The part that really hit home was John saying that he wouldn't die for rock music, but would give his life for Jesus if asked (most of the other artists didn't even mention God except in passing). I had this feeling the whole time of "YES, this is the real deal."<br />Higher Ground 2009: Disciple's set, especially Kevin's sermon, which completely caught me by surprise and once again showed me that they were "the real deal." Mark Schultz's set: he's one of the only quiet CCM artists I like that's still alive, and I love his shows. And yeah, he made me cry. Haha. Oh yeah, and Hyland. Mainly the fact that they had a good show and plenty of energy even though none of them had slept for over 24 hours. <br />Sonshine 2010: The whole thing. I'm not gonna put much more down now because I'm still processing and blogging about it, but it'll be up soon. Mainly though, Skillet, Casting Crowns (who I thought I would hate), FF5, Hyland, Children 18:3, etc., etc., were all awesome.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758395920063066427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991895331380725469.post-40884312830367237472010-08-02T14:18:15.533-06:002010-08-02T14:18:15.533-06:00If this is inclusive of all performances, I gotta ...If this is inclusive of all performances, I gotta say that operas are way up there. We used to get $5 tickets as students to go see rehearsals for the San Diego Opera. I think my favorite was Die Fledermaus (The Bat)by Strauss. It was the first opera in English that I had seen, plus it was a comedy and more of an operetta. <br />I know, I'm a nerd. :PChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08928146749204392195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991895331380725469.post-72176780548151309462010-08-02T13:58:51.939-06:002010-08-02T13:58:51.939-06:00I'm glad you have such a good time at the conc...I'm glad you have such a good time at the concerts. :) Though. I will never understand head banging. ;)<br /><br />My favorite music experience would have to be my own. Running around backstage and goofing off with friends before concerts when I was 9 and then getting to wear a tux shirt and long fancy skirt and performing (terribly :P ) in front of an entire concert hall.Amanda L.
