18. I Could Have Danced All Night

I went to my first real concert when I was 14. Who it was, we won't share that here because I will be mocked. So that means I've had 6 years of real concert experience. Doesn't seem like much. And it isn't when you think about it. But I've seen some pretty great shows. And yet, Jamie Cullum still remains my number one favorite live performer. I'll try not to go into too many details because frankly I'm not a very good writer, but he is one of the most dynamic performers I've ever seen. His energy onstage is unbeatable. And the connection he has with his audience, the way they feed off of each other, is incredible. Usually when I go to a standing only concert, my feet start to hurt halfway through the opening act and I start to get really hot cause it's so crowded and my mood drops. But last night, I was fine and having an excellent time. He does that to me. He made me forget everything that was bothering me and I was able to sing and dance and just have a great time and fall back in love with him. I came home so happy and on this incredible high that I haven't felt yet this semester and I'm really scared to let that feeling go.

But anyways, if you like jazz and good beats and piano, I recommend you see Jamie Cullum in concert. Tonight he played for 2 hours, did stuff from his old album, stuff from his new (which came out today) and just rocked it. Maybe I'm biased cause I love his music, but he really does a great live show.
