I went to see my favorite band live in Ventura! TURNSTILE! OMG, what an incredible show!

I was standing stage left, right next to the mosh pit, surrounded by an insane amount of energy. I seriously need to upgrade my iPhone because my camera sucks. I was hoping to share some concert footage here, but apparently I’d have to upgrade my WordPress plan just to upload videos. Ugh! So much for that! I found these videos from the Ventura concert on Reddit, though, LOL.

The stage seemed surprisingly small for Turnstile, and a huge speaker unfortunately blocked my view of drummer Daniel Fang. But at the end of the show, he came offstage and walked along the barricade, just a couple of feet from where I was standing! Unfortunately, someone’s head blocked my direct view, but I managed to capture a few seconds of footage. He seems so genuinely down-to-earth, as do all the members of the band. There’s something so refreshing about that, especially given the tremendous energy they bring to their performances.

Afterward, I walked back to my hotel alongside other concertgoers, about a 15-minute walk. I was still buzzing from the experience!

Turnstile puts on an absolutely electrifying show. I’m hoarse from screaming, a little exhausted, and still riding the high of it all. I pretty much jumped and danced for the entire set, and when I finally returned to my hotel, I was far too wired to sleep 😂

What a fun adventure! I’m so glad I made the trip and experienced this for myself. I’d love to see them again, perhaps next time with a better view of the entire stage!

Until next time, TURNSTILE! 🤘
