Experiencing a Blue October concert is more than just seeing a concert, but experiencing everything else surrounding it. The fans fuel the band and show their true, deep love for them, and the band does not waste any time giving all of that love back.
Blue October gave a deep and passionate show throughout the whole night, enough to get the most unexpecting of fans up on their feet and screaming out the lyrics back to frontman Justin Furstenfeld, who is nothing but smiles and dancing through every song. From dancing like a loon to songs that did not fit (yet somehow worked) to talking to fans through songs to express the band’s love, Furstenfeld does not shy away from showing how much he cares for everyone who attends his shows. Blue October doesn’t disappoint as every song is livened up in their own way, enough to hype up a fan that may only know a hit at most.
Even with the show’s grand ending, Justin gave a warm-hearted farewell to the crowd, but he made sure that the audience knew that the show wasn’t over. It ended with a bang. As the encore was not one song, but three, with a new song for their upcoming album! With just as much enthusiasm and entertainment, Blue October did not shy from making each of those three songs unforgettable, the entire crowd jumped on their feet in excitement.
Whether you are new to Blue October or an avid fan and see they are playing nearby, they are definitely a must-see. It is sure to be a fun, personable experience that even the most unexpected audience members are bound to enjoy, leaving with nothing but smiles on their faces.
