Recorded Live Rock Performance
Rock music subsequently came on to play a crucial role in America’s countercultural movement in the 1960s, when then-teenaged baby boomers utilized it to express their unhappiness with mainstream culture as well as an attempt to reclaim their own identity independent from their parents’. Rebellion was the topic of the live rock concert I watched. Because it had such a profound impact on individuals, it governed much of the remainder of their lives (Kjus).
This performance included a guitar, a microphone, and drums as instruments. The drums were part of the band’s rhythm section, along with the bass and the rhythm guitar. It is possible to play a drum kit with only one hand, but it is more common to use drumsticks and pedals to control the various percussion instruments. Percussion instruments like as snare, bass drum, tom, hi-hat, cymbal, and cymbals were all included in drum kits, which were tailored to each drummer’s preferences. The fact that it covered so many different musical styles made it very rockable.
I thought the show’s irony was fascinating. As I studied the live rock music performances, it became clear to me that rock culture and youth culture are inseparable. Rebellion is a common theme in both. As with rock music, teens are seeking to break off the identity their parents gave them, which is clean and ethnically divided, much as they did with rock music. They both bemoan the fact that they’ve never been heard. The confusion and unnameable energy of youth were ultimately set to song by the live rock performance (Kjus). Another amusing discovery was the fact that rock music is listened to and utilized differently by adults than it is by youngsters. Adults do it only for the enjoyment of the sound. They like listening to rock music, but they don’t contribute to its cultural importance. They lacked the rebellious spirit of adolescence. There were few adults in the crowd due to the fact that many people no longer attend live performances.
