tv: palladia hd


music is at its best when it is live. even if you don't like the crowded sweatiness that tends to typify a good concert, there is something mystical about connecting with an artist and thousands of others, singing in harmony, its like love on crack. spastic, unrelentless and leaving you wanting more.

with this station you get the experience without spending a dime as they air live concerts all day it seems. in the interim they show very few commercials and music videos. and its all in high definition. so far i have been in attendance for an amazing coldplay show in japan, dave matthews band in atlanta, hard rock calling festival ft. john mayer, jason mraz, kd tunstall, the bangles, robert palmer, eric clapton, sheryl crow, and the police in London, all american rejects in st. paul, and maroon 5 in montreal.

for some bands this is the only way you should even experience their music because recording does not do them justice. i have a growing list of people i want to see live, not via palladia, because i know that there is one helluva show to be experienced.

go to a concert, even if you don't know the artist that well. i don't know about you but i love seeing people in their element.
