Insatiable desire for live music
@satyricon #geflemetalfestival
I’ve gone longer periods of time without live music. In the 90s, for instance, I would go months without seeing a live performance. That had a lot to do with how busy I was with my career and young family though. Over the past decade I’ve become accustomed to live music a few times a month and nearly everyday in the summers.
I’ve only been to a couple live shows this year and haven’t been to one in three months now. That was OK because I had so many lined up this summer. But now all of those have been cancelled so I’m chomping at the bit. I’m even toying with the idea of flying to Mexico in November to see Satyricon at Mexico Metal Fest (which also includes Kreator, Mayhem, Sodom, Nile, Destruction, Pentagram, Tankard, and 1349). Of course, Mexico Metal Fest may get cancelled too so for now I’m just trying to be patient and hope that 2021 returns to normal.
Today’s photo was taken at the 2019 Gefle Metal Festival. I wasn’t planning on going to the 2020 edition because it was the same weekend as Metal Magic. In 2021 Gefle Metal Festival will not clash with Metal Magic so I may be making another trip to Sweden.
