Being 1 of 30,000 souls attending a live music show always makes my heart happy. I feel so connected to the music, the people, the world and so very present in the moment. A moment that will never happen again and every single time I feel like I’m in the middle of it.
As many of these as I’ve attended, every now and then there is one that stands out. One that triggers a full on obsession. With the music, the band, the story.
Live Music Legacy
A few years ago, for some strange reason my friends and I did NOT get tickets to see the Foo Fighters. They were playing in Centennial Park here in Atlanta. Dave Grohl was sitting on a throne because he broke his leg and thousands of fans attended the concert in the pouring rain. Technically I wasn’t there. Instead my friend and I decided to drive in circles around the park, with our windows down (did I mention it was raining), Face-timing our friends (none of which would answer) pretending we were at the concert.
So the minute the pre-sale tickets went on sale for their return to Atlanta we knew we were in.
The newly renovated Georgia State Stadium hosted the Foo Fighters in their first event since the renovation and we were there. And it was magical!
It took me days to come down from the concert. The energy, the experience, the way we all felt. I couldn’t let it go. How does someone (looking at you Dave) sustain that level of energy? Night after night. Year after year. I was watching someone, a band, completely in their element, something beyond performance, it felt like I was watching someone living life in the zone.
In the days after the concert. I watched documentaries on the Foo Fighters. Listened to all the music. And reflected on the legacy of a rock star.
The Legacy of Rocking at Life
I’m always so curious about the paths people take to find their space in the world. And that they can do it while connecting on this incredible level fascinates me. Not everyone needs to be a rock star, but I believe a lot of people are out there rocking their life. And while we have lots of access to the rock stars of the world we don’t have a lot of access to others living in their zone.
And like a rock concert, I find myself experiencing similar feelings when connecting with someone doing that thing that makes them shine.
Keep sharing your stories. Keep living your legacy. The world needs more and more people living their best life and sharing their gifts with the world!
