Wasted Energy?, Energy at a Major Concert Options

Be Well All..This question might be in the wrong area so I do apologize.. and if this question has been asked in the past..just blame it on the new guy! In a concert setting regardless of the rock band playing (or does the band make a difference?) With all those loyal fans screaming at the top of their lungs A Great Amount of Energy is being expelled..and with such a large crowd focusing that energy flow, who is the absorber? Or What..

Greetings Nodeadcow,

Firstly I would say that, yes, the Rock Band (or other band) performing makes a difference as to where the energy is being directed, as well as to what type of energy is being built up.

Take for instance a Band like Black Sabbath when the singer Ozzy Osbourne was with them. Black Sabbath was known for their Occultic "Image", they often had songs depicting a Dark Figure in Black representing the Hidden side or Shadow Side of both the Band and the Fans that came to the concerts. The energy that was built up in these concerts was definitly, in my opinion, used to build the Character of both Band and Fans Occultic Hidden Sides, the energy fed each person in the audience, as well as the performers.

Then you could take a band like Pink Floyd with "The Wall." This movie set to their music depicted an Old School being broken out from by children of a modern age, basically centered around the life of one performer as actor musician. The music is somewhat surreal, almost like it is dreamlike, with tones and words that reflect an inner awakened child to the marvells of life around him/her.

I would say that each band builds a form of Egregor, or energy persona of the group and the music, both the Performers as well as Fans who listen to and feel the energy at these concerts form a symbiosis relationship in almost Cult Like Atmospheres. These fans will gather at these concerts like gathering adherents to a Religious Revival, they come to experience the music, not just hear it. The atmosphere at many concerts I have been to is intense, it is directed by themes in the musical arrangements, the energy of the people becomes a Living, Pulsing, and Addicting High, and thats what keeps them coming back.

I do not condemn any form of music or other performance using energy gathering and sharing, I think that it forms smaller pseudo-societies within a larger society though. I have been at college and hear two perfect strangers talking about music, they may be from separate ethnic backgrounds, yet when they find out they share the same musical interests and dedication they become the best of friends, as if they share some secret that only a lover of that particular music would understand. To me this is not wrong, yet this attraction to a charged energetic atmosphere found at these Live Concerts has been a common experience for a very long time.

What was the Old Saying, "Wine, Women, and Song,"
and now it is: "Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll."

Respectfully,
Helel (Joseph)
