LFP #50: Why Memories and Buried Emotions Lead Us To Our Best Concert Experiences

Reflecting on and sharing our concert experiences changes our lives and the lives of our fellow concert fans. Concert storytelling helps us discover why live music means so much to us. But why and how does storytelling, past memories and emotions lead us to the present threshold of our most memorable concert experiences? Does our previous emotional history determine our present and future concert experiences? What role does premeditation and predestination play in the context of how much we enjoy and remember our live music experiences? In this episode we explore the excellent live music storytelling of Lance Ingram, host of Yesterday's Concert podcast. Together with Lance, we explore and dive into:
