Timberlake/Jay Z
Yesterday, I did something my friends wouldn’t expect from me; I attended the Justin Timberlake/Jay Z concert in Detroit.
I won’t go into length about how my wife and her sister Brianna tricked Corey, my brother-in-law, and I into joining them–They were sneaky and bought four tickets–but I will admit that I had a nice time.
I will also admit that I haven’t attended a large, arena concert in years, and when I took my seat, I gazed in awe at the massive amount of people inside Ford Field, the gigantic stage housing towers of screens, the stacks of speakers…
The JT/Jay-Z stage at Ford Field
Concerts in stadiums are spectacular extravaganzas.
But what if you could attend a concert where you could actually see the notes played by the guitar player; where you didn’t have to pay the equivalent of your month’s grocery budget to attend; where you didn’t have to wait in traffic jams to park and leave; where you spend $8 to bring a six-pack, not one domestic beer?
Would you enjoy that more?
Yes, these things exist. They are call house concerts…
Yesterday many people enjoyed the celebration (with $8 beer prices to match), yet I wonder, how many of these people might equally enjoy attending a show at the legendary Ark. Or a fee-free show hosted by Fusion Shows. Or a house concert like Craig Carrick’s series.
And I sadly wondered how many of them will never know what they are missing?
If only there was someone to tell them about those types of shows, too.
