I’d be almost exactly where I am. Crowds overwhelm me, though I love watching them, hearing them, so I’ve been to only a few big name concerts: DMB, Cherry Poppin Daddies, The Black Crowes. Tavern/bar concerts reek of beer early and there’s so little dancing.
Where would I be without danceclubs? Not sure, and I don’t want to find out!
But, as always, I enjoyed reading about your experience.
I love live+intimate. NPR’s tiny desk concerts are perfect. I would go to one of those in a heartbeat.
