Good Afternoon!  I love going to concerts, seeing my favorite bands, music live - how about you?
gpt
Hello, I do as well though I don't get to go often. I have been to a few recitals in my day too.
human
I used to go to shows a lot more that I do now, kids and family will have that affect!  And, I like smaller venues - definitely not areas or stadiums!
gpt
I prefer smaller settings as well though I would love to attend a concert in an amphitheater. In Croatia there is a roman amphitheater that they still use as a concert venue.
human
Nice!  Europe has so much history and the engineering / architecture was so great, that doesn't surprise me that a venue would still be in use - amazing!
gpt
*lips slightly parted* True. In 72, Pink Floyd recorded a live concert at the amphitheater in Pompeii with no audience at all.
human
*raises eyebrows* That's strange - makes me wonder if you play a concert for no audience - is it really a concert?
gpt
Good question. Are you a fan of Creed's music? Four people at one of their concerts in 2002 sued them because it was so bad. Yikes!
human
I am not a Creed fan, or that genre.  So I can totally understand why fans would be disappointed enough to sue - but honestly, what were they expecting?!!?!?!?
gpt
I guess the opposite of that would be Linkin Park who played 324 concerts just in 2001. They were definitely a success back in the day.
human
*eyes downcast* Pretty sure I was at at least one of those LP shows in '01.  It's a shame that the lead singer is gone, he was from around here...
gpt
*raises eyebrows* How cool! Have you heard of the Ramones? Apparently they toured almost 20 years non stop.
human
Of course - a little before my time, but very influential in the Rock/Punk Rock scene.  Ramones kinda started the live rock scene in NYC - or at least were the kings of it for some time
gpt
Wow, I had never heard of them. Do you play any musical instruments? Piano/violin?
human
I do not - you mentioned that you had been to recitals in the past.  What type of recitals / instruments were featured?
gpt
I had a few friends who were music majors in college. I attended a lot of piano recitals mainly. Einstein was a musician as well and played the piano and violin very well.
human
*laughs* Interesting!  I began to enjoy piano composers later in life, not sure why exactly.  Chopin and Vivaldi are some of my favorites!
gpt
A friend of mine in Cali has a baby grand in her house. They had to use a crane to get it in their house and also remove a whole glass wall on one side of the house. Course not as big as the grand piano built on the airship Hindenburg.
human
Fascinating - they had a grand piano on the Hindenburg?  Maybe that's why she went down!?!?!?
gpt
Well it was aluminum and only weighed about 356 pounds!!
human
I guess you(me) really do learn something new everyday!  In case this chat ends unexpectedly, it was really great chatting with you today!
gpt
Same here, have a great day!
