Crucial Elements in the Concert Experience

One of my favorite pastimes is attending concerts. Over the past few years I have become somewhat of a (self-described) aficionado, traveling around the Pacific Northwest to attend various events. While the band is, obviously, the most crucial element to any concert, I have developed a list of other essential elements that contribute to a great concert.

~Sound Quality: It doesn’t matter how good the band is if they are playing on sub-par equipment. The best shows, in my opinion, come from the large acts that have the money to invest in top-of-the-line guitar amplifiers and other equipment.

~Stage Show: No matter how good the music is, it is still important to have a solid stage show to keep the audience visually stimulated as well.

~The Venue: Not only does the venue play a huge role in the sound quality, but it also sets the ambiance for the show. Seeing an acoustic guitar concert in a classical theatre or going to a rock festival at The Gorge of the Columbia River can enhance even the most mundane performance.
