For the longest time concerts have been a safe getaway for music lovers but there was a time when music was even way more than that, it was a place where people came together to share what seems like a magical experience.
Concerts shaped how people were, how they acted and how they thought about the world around them, and underneath the stage lights and drenched in sweat, everyone was the same.
These photos take us back to those moments of electricity and power that you can literally feel through the screen. The moments when everyone around you felt larger than life.
