The Police to Daft Punk

I tell you it feels good to be on a month where I have weekends off. I almost don't know what to do with myself, it is a mini vacation every week! So in response, I try to go out as much as possible, see as many non-doctor friends as I can, and enjoy life while I can during my last year of residency... Because my fellowship is going to be even worse!

I went to two shows in the past 2 weeks. First was The Police, who performed at Giants Stadium. Now I wasn't a die hard Police or Sting fan back in the day, but everyone liked their music, and who can say no to what could be their last tour? So I snagged a ticket from a friend thanks to somebody who couldn't make it. The show was amazing! To think they are in their 50's and can still rock it the way they did is impressive. Not to mention Sting's voice which is probably as good as it has ever been. They played a tight set, with huge sound for just 3 guys, and overall it was a great show. The crowd, as expected, ranged from people our age, to people in their 40's with their little kids, to even some in their 50s! It was interesting, but the vibe was still good....

The second show this weekend was a tad different. Daft Punk! Now it was my first time seeing them live, but I've heard they put on a kickass show. And that my friends, they did do! They came out in this giant pyramid, which holds all of their electronic music creating gizmos within, and is basically these giant triangular HD screens facing us. They were wearing the standard Daft Punk helmets and jackets (how the hell do they see out of that thing?), and even threw in some neon glow from their suits later in the show. So combined with their amazing live musical creations, mixing, remixing, were a ridiculous light show and visual effects. The beauty of live electronic music is that they are recreating their songs live, so they can play with it how they wish, mix songs together, and work the crowd. I tell you it was an amazing show. Daft Punk live = Sick.

its great to spend weekends with friends, watching shows ect. i guess there are times in everyone's lives when they dont know what to do with them selves.
