By John Jurgensen April 22, 2020 1:49 pm ET Scott Gustin was stuck in a pandemic-induced funk and looking for reasons to feel good when he remembered one: The sound of more than 1,000 people cheering on opening night of a superhero blockbuster.
“Solidarity, community, connection to one another,” says Mr. Davis of Oxnard, Calif., describing why his recording was resonating in a new way. “That’s what people are yearning for, and it’s so much more meaningful now.” After Disney theme parks closed in March, he bought a new computer to hang out in the simulated environment of “Disneyland Adventures,” surrounded by voices of “fake people talking about happy things.”
“In the crowd we make history in a way that we could normally never do on our own,” says Stephen Reicher, a professor of psychology at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, who has researched the behavior of crowds at British soccer matches, religious pilgrimages in India and other mass events. Acts that once packed arenas and stadiums can now only offer proxy experiences. The Grateful Dead and Radiohead, for example, have taken to YouTube, where they are releasing archived concert videos in weekly installments. The new “Metallica Mondays” series has featured the band’s performances and shots of headbanging fans in Munich, San Francisco, Copenhagen and Paris. K-Pop group BTS recently streamed a full weekend’s worth of concert performances and fan gatherings from past years.

Here is a concert that will change your life, provided you watch it... ...this is what we missed here in America when we were growing up. True beauty.
Music is the best therapy!
What if we find out we can live healthy and fulfilled lives without watching televised sports.
