Starting off the month of December with a concert, how fitting. I have talked about twentyonepilots on here before, featuring them as a daily jam a while back. I suspected that this duo was something special having only listened to their music, but I kept reading all over the inter webs that listening to their music was only a piece of understanding who they are. Seeing and experiencing their show was the only way to fully grasp this thing that Tyler and Josh were bringing into the world. If you don't know about them, go listen to them ASAP, listen to the lyrics that Tyler writes. They are profound and way beyond his years. It's the type of music you never knew you needed to hear. I know I am gushing about them but you will understand once you listen to the songs over and over again.
I was unaware of their cult-like following, so I was super surprised when we got to the venue and the the line was wrapped around the block after the doors had been open for more than a half hour. I was shocked but started to get very excited, like a secret I was finally going to be let in on. The show itself was fast paced and energetic that you forget that there are only two people on stage. I have never been to a show that has been so indescribable yet so engaging. It felt as though there was not an imaginary glass wall in-between the artists and the audience. More than once both Tyler and Josh came INTO the audience, Tyler singing and Josh actually sits on top of the audience and plays the drums being held up by his fans. The trust and the respect that the band has for the audience is very unique and rarely seen in this day and age. I had the best time and will, without a doubt, see them again.
