Arena Rock

This video not only provides the amazing work of the entire band, but also provides a glaring glimpse into how music could move an entire crowd to be so caught up in the sound of the music that nothing else mattered. Not pictures, not recordings, not gossiping, just so far deep into the music that it was all that mattered and you could see the entire crowd was feeling it. That is what is lost on new music today, instead people are too busy trying to capture a moment via their phone, that they end up missing the entire feeling that the show gives to a person.

The way Steve could convey the feeling of longing for someone in a song was second to no one else. He sold what he was singing, 100 percent of the time, genuinely, in perfect pitch. Beautiful and devastatingly heartbreaking at the same time. This song makes me yearn for the old days and makes my heat soar.
