It isn’t painted on the sides of their bus. It’s not in any case and it doesn’t come with
a stand and there are no cords running from it across the stage. It is nothing the band members can practice.
Some audience members bring it with them in anticipation,
while others get it once they are there.
It is made from bits of music, the volume, the lighting and
special effects, but mostly from other audience members.
It can go away as fast as it shows up or it can last for as
long as your memory holds out.
It is both a feeling and an attitude. The more popular the band the greater the
excitement. Sometimes it is
uncomfortably loud, and sometimes the smoke and lights and pressure of it all make
you wish it could go on forever, yet a part of you knows this one is their top,
most familiar song, so it must be the grand finale. They will stop at the end of this one. The roar of the crowd will die down, the
light show will fade out and when the smoke clears the reality of getting out
of the parking lot will set in.

One would think that this problem would have been solved a long time ago. There is still hope! Remember Bewitched!! The Jetsons!! It could happen.
