Exploring our addiction to the live music experience |
Twelve hours from now, just like I did last year, I’ll be run/trotting up 80 floors for the kids. It’s a great cause to support Children’s Memorial Hospital and I really enjoyed being a part of our team of family and friends and a few furry friends as you can see above. And [...]
The exploration in to the community of groove and dance culture continued at Lincoln Hall Saturday night. In the wake of this sold out show, it’s obvious that Chicago DJ trio Midnight Conspiracy is aiming to innovate the live dance music experience as they stimulate the senses by blurring the lines between house, dubstep and performance art.

We already know that President Obama loves live music and knows how to weave it into the fabric of his presidency.

Well, now you might be able to ask him yourself and let us know what he says because he’s teaming up with [...]
Now that we’ve shared our favorite concert fan moments, let’s take a look back at the top Live Fix stories you loved to read in 2011.

Yes, my friends, like we did last year, it’s time to take a look back to see what shows left rock critics, music writers and bloggers in a perpetual state of awe, euphoria and wonder all year long. So join us as we cruise around the interwebs to see what were their top shows [...]
Well, now this Orlando fan is either really smart, or not so smart. I’m going with the latter. And maybe this creative fan could’ve helped this police-badge-flashing fan be a little more ingenious with his plan to get a better seat. According to Pollstar: “…a central Florida sheriff’s deputy is on administrative duty pending an [...]
We’ve been cruising along with the new Live Fix Radio podcast and every time I talk with a fellow concert fan for a new episode I’m always so pumped after our chat. I freakin’ love hearing about all your live music stories! That said, we recently met up with Eric “Nihilist” Kolkey who’s in [...]
Ah, memories. It’s one of the reasons why we love going to concerts. And during our recent Weezer concert adventures I recorded the video above, and ever since that night I’ve been wondering about and exploring how our brains and concert fan emotions have been processing that unforgettable moment.
