@schubert :
"A rock concert is not live music"
I just love statements like that. I've been to symphonies, indoors and out, I've been to opera (in Italy), I've been to chamber music series in tiny rooms in Charleston, SC, I've been to live jazz performances, I've been to live blues shows in dives and sketchy haunts in Clarksdale Mississippi and I've been to a few rock concerts. Take my word for it, they are live. Sure, you can go to a bad one but that's true with all of the above. And yes you can see one in a stadium which to me is pointless. But a good rock show in a small to medium venue is as good or better, to me, as any of the above.
Maybe you haven't been to a good show?
