Travis Scott The Rodeo Informative Speech

552 Words3 Pages

Have you ever walked into a concert, unsure if you would make it out alive by night’s end? Have you ever been fully aware that the next song about to be performed may incite a riot so large, it ends your life? These were the anxious, thoughts swirling around my head as I entered the Marquee Theater to see Travis Scott, or as I called it “The Rodeo”. At barely 5’3" and 105 lbs, I was pretty certain I’d be sacrificing my life or, at least, a limb. The show was standing-only and if you know of Travis Scott, you know this isn't an understatement. If you haven't heard of Travis Scott a quick Google search will show the destruction that ensues when Travis hits the stage. Since Travis’s first album, “Rodeo” was released September of 2015, Travis has been dominating the rap game. Travis …show more content…

As the show wore on guys who looked like they just ran a marathon, released themselves from the middle of the crowd. I heard “I’m tapping out” exclaimed several times. Each song brought the crowd to an increasingly higher level of energy. I’d never been to a concert where I felt the excitement to hear my favorite songs but also anxious because I knew it how excited the crowd would get. At around 12:30 I can distinctly remember thinking, oh god, here comes my favorite song, fearing for my life but overwhelmed with excitement. I really thought I would make it but about an hour into the show, but I too “tapped out” and moved to the back. I could only describe the concert as a fight for survival, in a good way. It was exciting to finally go to a concert where no one was acting “too cool” to go crazy. Travis guided along the fans throughout the night, there was never a dull moment. Toward the end of the night, a fan leaped onstage, but Travis halted securities to attempt to kick him off. Instead, he let him dive off the stage back into the sea of

    The concert was held in an exceedingly luxurious environment which put everyone in the audience in a jubilant mood. The audience would tap their feet along to the catchy rhythm, then would cheer with an electrifying applause after each piece was performed. The band continued to draw the crowd’s attention by having every musician on the stage play their own solo in each song. When Byron Stripling and the Jazz St. Louis Big Band performed the last piece in their set of the night they ended it with every musician on stage shouting “Clark Terry” to end the exquisite

    Not only is this musical a history lesson to many of us, it brought us into the story, making us feel as though we were part of this performance, and in turn the making of history. The fourth wall, a term used to describe the imagery boundary between the actors on stage and the audience, is broken on multiple occasions. Most predominately, when Diana Ross performs “Reach Out and Touch” at the Frontier Hotel, performing as if the current audience was the audience for her Las Vegas show. We were immediately drawn in, becoming a part of her first performance in Vegas and her debut solo single. The Princess of Wales Theatre was quickly transformed into the Frontier Hotel seamlessly.

When Gambino ran on stage, the melody of his song "Fireflies" started- only for him to exclaim "this is NOT a good song to start a show. Turn it off!"

    Well not really, the farm had holes in the fence and was in no shape for a 100,000 capacity. The stage was barley getting finished before people started slipping in through the fences. So many people did this that it was to much of a hassle to make them leave, 50,000 to be specific. This left the organizers with some problems, make the concert free or try and force 50,000 people to cough up cash. They went for the former.

    The hall would be located roughly near Central Park, so far uptown that its doors would welcome almost anyone. Before Carnegie Hall, it was nearly impossible for concerts of such refinement and poise to be accessible to anyone below the status of the upper middle class. On opening day, streets were packed with lines through the door while the main hall was jammed to capacity. This overnight phenomenon caused a sensation to spark across the city and gracefully conquered the social norms that have dictated our nation. It didn’t take long for the public eye to recognize the power that music had to transcend differences.

As the stagehand passed me the mic, my pulse quickened. Standing on the platform beneath the stage, waiting for it to rise, my shoulders tightened. Fourteen years, performing on stages around the world hadn't banished my pre-show jitters.

    It had the similar ambiance and construction to a movie theatre entrance, with concessions and a ticket booth that led you towards the main room. Although the main room was very small and dark, it was a sight for sore eyes after what I had seen to get here. The small stage was the main focus of the room, as all tables were directly facing it. Each table had a dimly lit candle centered on it as well as a red table cloth. The blue focus lighting on the stage allowed me to see the set up of instruments, a drum set, piano, string bass, and a two saxophones ready to be played.
