Bright Eyes - ArtPark July 2021

[Absinthe]

These are just some of my favorite shots from a Bright Eyes concert I went to earlier this summer. My sister and I went and it was a great time. We were a little iffy at first but ultimately decided that since we were both fully vaccinated and the venue is entirely outdoors, it was safe enough to attend. The crazy thing is we went to see the same band, at the same venue, exactly 10 years ago to the day of this show. It was a hell of a decade, that's for sure.













All of the photos were taken with my phone - an iPhone 12 Pro. Also, if you've never listened to Bright Eyes before and you like cerebral, kind of ethereal and heavy-hitting lyrical stuff, they're definitely worth checking out. One of my favorites.

That must have been so much fun! The closest I've been to a concert is at Disney on Ice. It was pretty awesome though because we had like 4 rows to ourselves and one other family.

Sharon we actually weren't right up at the stage. We were probably a good 10-12 rows back in standing (with a good 6 feet between rows). I was just toying with the various zoom options on my phone - this was only about a month after upgrading and was the first real test for the camera.

Also, you've never been to an actual live music concert? Oh man, post-COVID (if that's ever a thing), definitely try to make it a point. There is nothing like getting to see your favorite artists perform live, in their element.

It was indeed an amazing show, though.

Sorry I didn't express myself fully there haha I haven't attended a live concert since the pandemic! Once everything calms down though I will make it a point to see more shows. Some concerts I've seen in the past were Casting Crowns, Eddie Vedder, and Elton John.

In November I will be seeing Jo Koy's stand up live. So that should be a lot of fun!

Lol, that makes more sense! I've actually never been to a stand up show. It's certainly on my list though. I've been to a bunch of Improv Theater stuff which is always fun but never just a single comedian.

Nice pictures, captures a rather fun time. I like the last two that capture the blue light perfectly.

Those are fantastic pictures, indeed, you can really see how in his own world the singer was while performing! Must have been a great show!
