The Encore

You know you were there. You remember buying the ticket, maybe even the drive to the venue. But the actual show? It's a blur. This is completely normal, and there's a reason it happens.

Everyone who loves live music has a list they don't talk about. Not the shows they've seen, the other one. The shows they skipped, couldn't afford, or just didn't go to for reasons that made sense at the time. And on the flip side: the shows they caught before anyone was paying attention. These two lists are the shadow history of your concert life. And they teach you more about yourself than you'd expect.

Research shows that relying solely on photos to preserve concert memories may actually impair our ability to remember experiences fully. Discover why neuroscience supports the power of journaling to create lasting, vivid memories of your favorite shows.
