@kawansiesquad6659 Год назад

You don’t have to communicate that type of note because it rlly depends on which one you can reach, most singers already know whether or not they can reach a note when they hear it, if you hear a very low note or very high note and you KNOW that you can’t reach it, you would automatically go either a key higher or lower but it’s still the same note, don’t rlly need communication for that type of thing👍

Musician here as well, I've been to quite a few concerts, but good audience participation will instantly skyrocket my feelings about it. I remember being at a Passenger concert and at the end he got everyone singing a 4-bar phrase and the whole crowd of 200 or so people were singing it perfectly, I was amazed. We kept singing it for a good few minutes after he left the stage until he came back for an encore and just picked up the song again from the crowd's singing.

I remember seeing Bobby back in 1991. I have attended hundreds of concerts since then, but his was one of the very few (if not, only) where I felt completely refreshed afterward. I may not be describing it correctly, but it's the same feeling you get just after an hour after the sun rises and you walk outside and the temperature is just right and there is a small breeze that blows in your face which is slightly cooler than the ambient temperature and you hear that bird you can't see singing from somewhere and that's the only sound you hear and you can feel yourself smiling.
