The perfect Concert Experience

[Juliana]

When one of the bands I love is playing I am sure the concert is gonna be good! I believe some other aspects, besides the band, can make a concert really good or really bad though... What do you guys think? What aspects are important for a perfect concert experience?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

being able to either replicate or be better than how their studio albums sound is so important to me

then secondly, being able to put on a good show/act on stage....prime example being KISS who are worth watching live for the theatrics alone!

No doubt the ultimate experience overshadowing studio albums and live albums even is the Live Concert!...I like it when the band or artist "stretches out" so to speak...maybe a longer version of a studio song, good banter with their fans and a concert that moves me....(Paul McCartney did that for me three years ago)!

Studio albums pale in comparison to the actual live concert. If not the concert then YouTube, DVD, or a live album that shows the true talent of the artist!..they have no where to hide and the connection between their fans and themselves is all that matters in the end !

Bands love playing live obviously. That's what they all strive for ! They get an unbelievable rush from the crowd ! That's why the Stones are still playing live??? or toured for so long.

For me the structure of the place is really important! I was in a festival in Brazil and after some hours I need to go to the bathroom. The line was insanely huge and I spent almost the half of the Kings of Leon show on it! I got sooo pieced!

I want the artist on stage to connect with me somehow. I love their music I want them to show me the love. The best bands/performers do this sometime. Sincerely performing their songs, actually talking to the audience and making some connection. Otherwise, I can just sit/listen and watch the video screens same as in my living room.
