This is so true to me but I never thought of putting it to words like that. I love music and darkness so much that during some especially intense moments in live shows I've been to I close my eyes instead of looking at the band.

- ulrikrasmussen 2y agoI agree! The best concerts I've been to were the ones where I was so engaged in the music that I felt compelled to close my eyes for most of the experience.
- genewitch 2y agoI've been to only a few concerts, relatively, 2 raves, maybe 6 concerts, and a few dozen clubs. only the "raves" were loud enough to "cease visual processing" as my sibling said. We saw Ron D Core and Omar Santana spin at a Chinese restaurant that had a dance floor in Los Angeles, and it was so loud (not distorted, just pure air movement and wattage) that the needles were jumping. with quarters on them. Omar Santana's "metal gabber" was transcendental.
