If you could take a pill that reliably lifts your spirits, sometimes to the point of bliss, and it costs relatively little with no side effects, would you take it?
That’s what live music is for me, it’s a happy pill that works every time. I know the euphoria comes from some mysterious rush of endorphins triggered by the sounds and rhythms. But it’s also about the shared experience, being in a room full of people enjoying themselves brings joy.
