Anyways, the first time I saw them was in September of 2013 at the Lincoln Hall in the city and that was the first concert I didn't sweat at. As gross as that is, for some reason it has stuck with me. Just the whole environment of them, I love it. Not only the band, but Lincoln Hall as well. It's just so personal and intimate with the artist. It is one of my favorite venues actually.
Besides their flawless music, one huge thing they are known for is black and white and to me, that is pure perfection. I used to just like black and white but ever since getting into The 1975, I'm just drawn to it now and I can't seem to get away from it. In the beginning of the concert, the second time I saw them, it was like they turned the venue black and white, it was the coolest thing I have ever been apart of. I can't find the picture that I took form the concert but this is what it felt like while I was standing there..
One of the most emotional parts of the second time I saw them at the Rave in Milwaukee, WI, was when Matty Healy sang his song called Me. Its about when he tired to kill himself and he sat at the end of the stage with a bottle of wine in his hand, microphone in the other and you could genuinely feel his pain. That was my first time hearing that song because I didn't know the album had three parts until recently -but now I know all three parts by heart- and it was just amazing how the crowd shifted from so up beat to singing along in sorrow with this man, It was breath taking.
Some of their big popular songs are Chocolate, Sex, and Girls so when they started to play those I went into concert brain and just had a great time. My friends Grace and Juliana can second that those songs bring out my worst dancing because all I do is kind of whip my head and body back and forth at the beat of the music, but to me, there is no other way to dance to that type of music.
My all time favorite song, which they sang at both concerts is called Robbers just every thing about the song just makes me happy. Which is ironic because it is not a happy song, but its not like a sad song, I don't know, It's just really good. The band is just really good.
I think the two times I saw them was really good because nothing crazy happened. I just went to the concert and enjoyed myself, I didn't try to be front row or meet them after, I just got to enjoy the concert and that's what I love to do- Just enjoy music- And The 1975 makes it really easy for that to happen.
