Feeling cathartic at the Casbah with RJD2

If I had to choose one word to describe RJD2 for all of those readers that happen to suffer from ADD (which might as well be anyone in today's day and age) it would be spellbinding.
The night began subtly as most do at the Casbah. Individuals gathered in the dimly lit corridor suavely sucking on their cigarettes, coolly conversing alongside each other and giving the sky a quick glimpse while exhaling. But as soon as RJD2 took the stage the aura about the place rapidly changed from stand-offish into a room that seemed to give off as much steam as Leo and Kate in "Titanic" when they found that little buggie to cuddle in. The lights dimmed, with the exception of those on the stage, and our eardrums began to palpitate with familiar rhythms.
I let myself become a slave to the succulent sounds that RJD2 was brewing for us all.
He began his show mixing. His mixing skills, clearly well honed, seemed to transform the crowd into a hurricane of sorts. He'd beckon to us all so as to up the intensity, as if he were Poseidon manipulating the ocean with his hand. The manner in which he transferred from mixing to performing with live instruments was absolutely stunning. The rest of the band also exhibited a great deal of raw talent as they took the drums, keyboard, and bass guitar. Seeing and hearing them play familiar songs like, "Since We Last Spoke" and "Ghostwriter," with instruments enlivened them in a way that I cannot possibly encapsulate with words.
It's interesting to consider the phenomenon that we have come to call a concert experience. It really just consists of gathering around an elevated platform in which musicians recreate the music that they had recorded earlier. All of the senses are tried in terms of their capacity to let in extremes. It's like taking in the way someone else's brain works and letting it take over your own brain for a while. I'm certain I'll be that old grandma that's constantly replying in an overt voice, "WHAT DID YA SAY?!" But I'm also certain that seeing concerts such as RJD2 will have made my future hearing impediments worthwhile.  
RJD2's lyrics, when closely considered, definitely have a dark side to them. They elicit an uncanny and eerie feeling much like the enticing rhythms he so expertly layered. The manner in which he interwove intense moments of explosive noise into his music kept us all in continuous motion, and we found ourselves imploding inside with the drums.
When asked about RJD2, another one of my concert companions, sophomore Katherine Godfrey, replied "They bring me to a beautiful awareness about all the happiness around me."
It most definitely was a beautiful evening to witness such music as created by Ramble John Krohn, and to feel cathartic with the sentiment that he was able to convey through his various instruments was an extremely potent one to feel pulsating through me. At the end of the night I was inspired to introspectively delve into my own mind so as to see if I might be able to extrapolate something whatever it may be.
