My daughter and I are going to a Maroon 5 concert in a few weeks in Moline, IL. I have been to a few Christian rock concerts over the last 15 years, but I haven't been to a mainstream concert since Van Halen in the '80's.
DD is almost 18, so I am not worried about her seeing anything negative, but I was just wondering what a Maroon 5 concert is like. For example, how long is it? I used to wear my high heels for hours in my youth, not sure I can do that for more than a couple of hours now (and I am short, so I need those heels!).
Everyone still stands at concerts, right?
Is the Maroon 5 crowd usually filled with people of all ages, or is it more rowdy, drunk and high people? I would prefer not to ingest marijuana smoke from the neighbours, since I will have to drive back to the hotel!
Is the band going to be putting on a show, or are they just really loud and screechy, seeing how high they can set those speakers to make the audience deaf (I swear I didn't hear a thing for days after a Rush concert!)?
We are in the first few rows - will my DD get to see Adam Levine shirtless and sweaty, or is the stage set up so the first rows are actually horrible? Not asking for myself, no, not at all, merely considering the things my DD will be looking forward to, yes, that is it!
I have to say, up until a few months ago, I wasn't really familiar with Maroon 5's music, since I have been listening to the Christian Rock station in the car (need that inspiration to deal with life at this moment!). When I mentioned concert tickets as a Christmas gift, I thought for sure DD would want One Direction, but no, she wanted Maroon 5. I am very happy to not attend the One Direction concert, as I hope Maroon 5 will have fewer teens screaming and more old ladies like me screaming! Just thought maybe someone here had been already, and could clue me in on what to expect!
