A Night with Keane
One of my friends asked me to accompany her to a Keane concert in Chicago. I'm not much of a music fiend but I totally trust this friend of mine to have great tastes when it comes to music. My summer schedule wasn't at all interesting so I figured a concert would be enough to spice up an otherwise uneventful and boring summer. I've never heard of the band, and even though I'm wary of trying out and listening to unknowns, I decided to go. It's funny though, because when we went to the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago for the concert, I was unprepared, like a student finding out there's a pop quiz for that day. I never had the chance to listen to their new album. I didn't even know their names and who plays what, much less the lyrics to their songs. That's how unprepared I was. It was kind of embarrassing, to say the least.
Anyway we were one of the first people to arrive, hence, we got the best spots -- right in front of the stage. It was exciting -- my first concert ever and I'm right where the action is. We also found out that they were going to record the whole show for the band's upcoming DVD/new album. Since we're in front, we get first dibs. There was one moment when I panicked because I know the cameraman would like someone who can sing along with the band, dance to the music, or both. Of course, I had to do the dancing since I didn't even know the titles of their songs, much less the lyrics! Had to divert the cameraman's attention right? Picture me, mouthing words I'm not sure are correct, while undulating to Keane's majestic tracks. Lord have mercy. 
Hilarious antics aside, I truly enjoyed seeing them onstage and joining the throngs of fans in screaming Tom's name and rocking along with them. I would surely attend another concert, if the opportunity arises once more. I even downloaded their album off of Limewire (and if the budget permits, I'm sure I'm going to grab their albums off of ebay *snicker*).
