So! We went to see these guys at the War Memorial in Syracuse NY last night as my husbands birthday present. It was very cool! My husband and I don’t really attend concerts or things along those lines, no particular reason, we just don’t really tend to go down that road much. So last night was something different for us, and we kinda needed to do something fun after a busy couple of weeks.
It was funny as we were sitting there last night. There was a sweet family in front of us who’s daughter and possibly a boy-friend were so VERY excited to be there! These early 20 year olds – or so – were so engrossed in the atmosphere of the show. Exactly what the producers of the Blue Man Group would want! What was funny is that I noticed Josh and I were removed from the show in some ways. Don’t get me wrong, it was awesome!!!!!! Entertaining, engaging, great! But we were removed for different reasons I think.
Josh and I both have musical backgrounds so it enticed us to sit there in awe listening to their awesome drum beats and rhythmic timing, watching 3 and at times 5! drummers all coincide on the same stage! Since Josh is now starting to think about the Generation Conference, he was totally engrossed in the staging, the lighting, the graphics, the technology, the colors, etc! And our seats were perfect for us. We were totally dead center, but all the way in the back of the auditorium. We were able to still get the whole effect of the show, but we had even a “view” of the sound guys – which to some might have been annoying – but to us was another cool thing. The sound board was extensive, no surprise, but the guys barely seemed to touch anything! It’s hard to explain, but with all the different lighting, sounds, technology with live feed too, etc – it was unreal that the sound guys werent running around like crazy! I know, they do this all the time, but it still was impressive!
Enough…. even though we weren’t as totally outwardly engrossed as the cute couple next to us, it still had our attention and our minds going a million miles an hour! Good birthday present, if I do say so myself!
