That sounds awesome! I like all of those artists, it must’ve been a great show! Did you go with anyone?

Where was it in MD? I’m familiar with the area.

I was with my wife and some friends, so 7 of us total. Truth be told it was mostly my wife and I by ourselves though and then we just met with everybody at the AirBnB at the end of the night and talked with the other people. My wife is pretty hardcore so we were leaving before everybody else every day and getting back last every night haha.

And it was in Ocean City, so literally right on the coast. We were coming out of VA so we drove up the peninsula. It was a pretty fantastic location honestly. The little amusement park in the center was free for anybody attending the concert, except for a select few rides (giant slingshot most notably) so we were able to ride the Ferris Wheel and stuff if there was a gap in the shows we wanted to see.

I love Ocean City! I have fond memories of sleeping in my car during Senior week lol

I'd have killed to do something like that for senior week haha.

Weird question maybe, but did they have the Hurricane when you were there? And did it go way too fucking fast? I rode it with a friend and I thought I was going to die. Best ride there haha

EDIT: The pic isn't of the actual ride, just the same type of ride at a different park. I couldn't find a pic of the actual ride

Not sure about the ride, it’s been many years since I was in OC. Also, I was more interested in girls than rides at the time :)

Sounds like a great time though! Do you go to big concerts like that often?

[–] Bearigator@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly no, I've never been to anything close to this size. Usually my wife and I go to smaller shows in ~1000-2000 person venues.

It is for sure a different energy though. Small venues are nice because even from the back you are pretty close to the stage but the feeling of >15,000 people singing along with somebody live is sort of indescribable, you know?

Do you like to go to a lot of big shows like that?

[–] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm actually not a big concert fan. I've been to a couple big shows with multiple stages, etc and a handful of random concerts. My favorite show was seeing Prince (I guess I'm showing my age lol), not for the venue, but just for the artist. I regret not being able to see him at Paisley Park before he passed.
