Bonus – WordPress Prompt – Comin’ to you Live!

What was the last live performance you saw?

I’m going to hijack this prompt a little, so bare with me if you will. The last performance that I was suppose to see would have been Thomas Rhett – a country singer, for those who don’t know. And one of my absolute favourites!

But to be fair, I can’t remember the last performance I saw, so it couldn’t have been that memorable….I think maaaaaaaybe Salt n’ Peppa. And really, it was at a local music festival with a ton of other acts and they didn’t even grace the stage for all that long.

But since I’m in the mood for a WordPress crime, I’m going to change this question up a bit and describe the most memorable performance I’d ever seen.

This may be shocking to some, but I have been a HUGE fan since I saw the movie Mermaids and also due to my mom. If you haven’t guessed it yet, it’s Cher!

I went to a Cher concert with my mom back when I was in my early teens and it was PHE-NOMENAL! One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. It was pure luck we even scored tickets because we tried to get some and they were completely sold out. My cousin, who is a hair dresser, worked along side a man who was also a mega fan of Cher, and he scored tickets to the right of the stage. He sadly couldn’t make it to the show and needed someone to take them off his hands. My cousin knew how big of a Cher fan my mom was, so we got them! My mom was over the moon and me, being the moody teen I was, hid my enthusiasm.

To say this woman puts on a show is an understatement, it was a spectacle to say the least. Between the lights, the dancers, costume changes, set changes, and the videos, it was all so engaging and incredible. Her energy was magnetic, she lit up the stage all on her own and I have never seen a performance since with that much thrill and excitement. My mother and I were mesmerized the entire show and we sang along to every single song, but so was the rest of the audience.

The audience was quite amazing as well; a packed house and I have never seen so many Cher impersonators in one room in my life! You could just feel the vibration from the audience, the rise and fall of screams and lyrics were electrifying. I now realize just how blessed I was to be a part of that moment with all those strangers.

Cher is truly a legendary entertainer and if I ever got the chance again, I’d see her in concert without a question.

Do you have a memorable concert?

Ciao!
