Concerts

[blim]

I one day hope to attend a professional classical concert, along with operas and ballets.

As do I. Except the ballet. But operas and real classical concerts would be amazing to see.
.

I would recommend the Henry Wood BBC Proms if you are in England. If not then any good orchestrathat is available to you. Classical concerts are often excellent. In a good venue the music can be fantastic. And they tend to be quite friendly.

One word of warning though, if like me you enjoy a good meal and a bit of wine beforehand the combination of wine, food, relaxing music and a dark room can result in nodding off and remember to turn your phone off.

I like it loud, I like it full of idiots and I like it in a small room.

As do I. It is what makes the experience.

I want to listen to music, not turn deaf. But that's just me I suppose.

And unless you're bleeding from the ears, the music isn't too loud.

*Sigh*

"If it's too loud, you're too old!"

I don't agree with that, really. Well, I turn 17 this month.

Mm. Sorry. I don't live in England. I live in the grand 'ol USofA. If I could drive, I know where I could go see some. And I don't have to worry about the wine and nodding off, as I am still a few years to young to drink legally. Not that I don't, though.

If you want to listen to the music, then go buy a cd. Concerts are about the energy and emotion that goes through people as the vibrations of the music tingles our souls.

Oh my, how poetic.
I have the CD, but I want to see the band live, and hear what they sound like live, WITHOUT being trampled, squeezed and pushed around.
If there had only been more room there, so I had been able to stand further away, it would have been better.

Okay. Yeah. I see your point. A live band often sounds different than a band on a cd after a mixing.

A lot of concerts have seating arrangments. But a seat ticket instead of a general admission ticket than.

I know, but that one didn't; no seats. Otherwise I would have taken a seat, it would suit me better.

It must be loud on a "Musically Distinct" level. As in, if all you hear is double-bass and no guitar solos; it's mixed poorly.

In 2005, I attended the Gigantour in Toronto, and it was ridiculously loud. The first band, Bobaflex, came on during the Air Show (over the lake) and their Drums overpowered 3 F-16s flying overhead of the venue. My ears rang for 2 days after. Thankfully, Dream Theater, Megadeth, Symphony X and Fear Factory were at a well-mixed, audible level.

I much prefer gigs to be loud, and full of life. I like to go and be immersed in the music, completely and utterly. I hate outdoor gigs because the sound just fritters away into nothingness, give me a small concert hall any day.
