Concert Report - Personal Statement Example

Muhammad Umair Shakir Academia Research English Language 24 May 2009 A Concert Report On May 23, 2008 I attended a concert which took place at TheApollo, Harlem Theater. The event consisted of only two performances ,yet they both were met with enthusiastic applause and praise by the audience.The first performance was performed by the rock famous band METTALICA which shook the heads of the audience and ultimately they received a standing ovation by the supporters. The appraising style of the vocalist JAMES HETFIELD of the band makes me concluded that he is the backbone of the band.

The hard beating by the drummer Lars Ulrich make me realize that my ears are jammed by the rock music and that Lars proved that he is one ous the best drummers in U.S.A. Throughout this movement, imitative polyphony was the predominant texture as the melody created in the woodwinds was echoed by various other instruments especially the periodic feedbacks of the electric guitar played like a raw rock star by Kirk Hammet. The two songs played by the band were Nothing Else Matters and the most famous of their all, Master of Puppets.

Through the experience of hearing these two very different works, I was able to comprehend the talents of the musicians. The very first performance by the one of the most famous band rouse a feeling of eagerness in the audience to listen more of their songs in the Apollo, but they left with striking sounds. (Wikipedia. /Metallica)The night could not have been made more rocking and entertaining once the heart throb of millions and my personal favorite of all female singers Madonna came to festoon the night.

Smoke machines, lasers and all kinds of components which contribute collectively in producing a psychedelic show. She started her reign on stage with her all time favorite track Ray of Light followed by Hard Candy, Me against the Music and Miles Away. This portion was characterized by its dark and somber tone. The absence of the drums heard earlier left a weak beat and a suppressed meter. (Wikipedia. Madoona)Necessary References1. http://www2.hn.psu.edu/Faculty/tsmialek/music5/sample.html
