Sample 1

Although I am a music enthusiast, I do not wish to go for live-to-live performances because there are a lot of crowds over there, so there are chances of being trampled, which has happened in the past. Also, one of my favourite singers is Amrinder Gill.

So when there was a live show in my city, I heard that the performance was about his latest album, so he sang all the songs. It was one year ago. I enjoyed it for many reasons. First and foremost, it was a newly launched album, and its copies were unavailable in the market, so he performed those songs for the first time. So it was a dream come true for me because it was the First time I listened to the live music of Amrinder Gill and others.

Another reason for liking it was the first time I saw him face-to-face, because luckily, I got the first road ticket, so I was able to see him as a person and during the performance, he threw his jacket to the crowd, and I was fortunate enough to catch it so that jacket is still with me. I have preserved it as a memory of my favourite singer, Amrinder Gill.

The joy I had that day while watching his live performance will always remain etched in my memories. So, whenever there is a live performance of Amrinder Gill in my city or a nearby place, I would like to attend it again.

Follow-ups

What kind of party have you had so far?

I have had many parties so far. I have organised many birthday parties. Apart from that, I have attended my friends’ parties and recently participated in a retirement party. Besides that, after COVID, our school has had three reunion parties.

Do you think it is hard for people to perform in front of their friends?

Yes, it is hard for people to perform in front of their friends because friends who know your weaknesses are in your strength. So, if you fail to perform correctly or make mistakes, your friends leave no stone unturned to mock you.

Is it easy to invite your friends to your party or performance?

Yes, it is easy for me to invite my friends to your party or your performance because there is no fun at your party or your performance. If your friends and your near dear ones are not there to have an excellent round of applause for you, their presence is a must-have and inviting them is very easy. These days, people are connected through social media, and most of their friends are connected through various groups on WhatsApp, so if I have to share one message, you can invite all of them.

Is it expensive to watch a live performance in your country?

Yes, in my country, it is costly to watch a live performance because the ticket prices are incredibly high, so only people from the lower class can afford them.

Why do many people prefer to watch a live performance rather than watch it on TV?

Many people prefer to watch live performances rather than watch them on TV because they get the real vibes of the performance when it is alive, and in a live performance, the crowd goes berserk. So many people love those moments and shake their legs to the tunes of their favourite celebrities, so they prefer to watch a live performance.
