We pay to go to a live show. The crowd is excited to see the artist. You can feel it in the air. They appear on stage, plug in, start with a quiet but heartfelt acoustic number.

And 600 people keep their conversations going.

What. The. Hell. People?

Between songs, the artist makes polite but vague statements about how even with the PA, he can't compete with all that noise.

They keep talking.

Grrrrrrr...

2nd reason why I refuse to goto live shows. People..

Some of my most intense, fun and vivid memories are seeing live music with friends/ family.

I know it’s not as cheap or accessible as it used to be and that adds to the frustration. But If music is something you’re passionate about, I would highly recommend doing it while the bands you like are still around and you are still able.

If you generally don’t like concerts then you do you and that’s fair.

I love music more then most things, but between Ticketmaster and the general public's self centered attitude, I just don't bother.

I'd rather spend the money on a great paid of studio grade headphones and listen to em that way.

Not the person you replied to, but I was the same way until I realized all my favorite artists were either dying or retiring and chances to ever see them were slipping away, and quickly. I just go to whatever shows I can and just be present in the moment. Even small local shows. I've found a bunch of cool artists by going to shows with artists I don't even know.

Like, imagine having the opportunity to see a Zeppelin show in their prime, then imagine thinking about going, then saying "meh." I couldn't even comprehend the regret I would feel passing something like that up. And it circles back to not knowing you're in the "good old days" until they're already past. I just don't want to look back at missed opportunities and kick myself for the rest of my life.

Like they said, it's not for everyone, especially not these days. Ticketmaster is a plague, most shows are ridiculously overpriced with food and drink to match, and way too many people are focused on taking a video they'll never watch. But if things only get worse, I'm going to go down swinging and keep going to shows until doing so would financially break me.
