The communal nature of music remains and is vividly
demonstrated at live concerts.
Whether you’re in the crowd at the Mercury Lounge or Madison Square Garden, the point is to gather with people who love what you love.
If the point wasn’t to gather or to share in the
mass performance, you’d just stay home and listen to music by yourself.
When you sing along to songs at a concert, you don’t just listen to the music; you participate in it, “completing” the musical experience.
This creates a sense of belonging and a strong bond with the musician.
Many musicians remember the first time their audience sang along with them.
Maybe it means they have reached the point in their career where they have become popular.
Even singers with long, successful careers feel energized by the power of the crowd and get inspired for their next music project.
