4. Listening to their songs and realizing you're about to see them performed in the flesh.

5. The concert is about to begin and you eagerly await.

6. Seeing the band begin to enter the stage.

7. When they enter the stage and you can't even BELIEVE THEY'RE A REAL PERSON LIVING AND BREATHING IN THE SAME VICINITY AS YOU.

8. That first song plays and it takes your breath away.

9. When they change the wording/timing slightly and it confuses the hell out of you but you go with it anyway.

11. While they're talking throughout you can't believe you've been blessed enough to have this time with them speaking words.

12. Realizing it is almost over and you don't want that at all.
