When is a concert not musical
The first sentence of this article says that a concert is a performance, "usually of music". When is a concert not "of music"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.125.4 (talk) 12:57, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Jam Bands
I think that something should be noted about jam bands. This genre (for lack of a better word) of music is relevant because it is used to describe the bands that focus their whole career around performing live. These bands are also important because the "pioneers of jam" such as Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, etc. have contributed to the fairly modern wave of live music appreciation in music fandom.
- The problem with featuring jam bands is that many different kinds of musical groups focus on performing live, such as most symphony orchestras, jazz combos, and chorales. While among popular musicians with nice recording contracts, jam bands certainly do hold concerts more often and with longer songs, this is the comprehensive article on concerts and cannot limit itself to commercial music. -Acjelen 03:41, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Is a concert a concerto
Concerto?
Is this the same as Concerto? --Romanm 00:49, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- No. A concert is a performance, a concerto is a work. Dysprosia 01:03, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Cleanup
This article needs serious improvement if not a complete re-write. Presently the majority of the article discusses rock concerts since about the 1970s. It also takes the present conditions of the record-music industry as necessary conditions. Thousands of musicians perform before an audience without any of the conditions described in the article. -Acjelen 00:43, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
I agree this article needs a lot of improvement. The article should include specific types of concerts and why concerts are important to musicians. Also including the history of concerts would help the article become more useful. Alisap17 (talk) 01:40, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
Merge Arena concert into Concert
There doesn't seem to be enough at Arena concert there to warrant more than a section in Concert. Thoughts? -Mike5904 01:33, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- That's certainly true. I've taken care of it. -Acjelen 02:29, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Dr. K. J. Yesudas
Why are Dr. K. J. Yesudas' concerts so notable to get a "See Also" on this page? --Robbie 09:34, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- He does not currently appear in "See Also" so it is my assumption that this has been addressed. whattoweartoaconcert (talk) 13:58, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
When were the first
What year did the first live pop concerts begin and with which bands???
- What do you mean by "pop"? The division of popular music from serious or art music is difficult to date exactly and probably varied by country. -Acjelen 20:01, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
how many concerts are there a year in Europe
Volume and hearing loss
Should add a section about venue/audience size, volume, and hearing loss. There have been lawsuits, such as that of Peter Jeffery (see cites) against The Smashing Pumpkins. Maybe include a statement about ear plugs, especially musician versions with flat attenuation.
- I agree that this is an important issue however I am not sure an entire section would be warranted. Perhaps one line on hearing loss that directs to the tinnitus page? CorryConcerts (talk) 17:02, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
"Historically concerts were the primary source of revenue for musicians"
This is not the case, it was only in the mid-2000s that the shift happened. It used to be you made the album and used the funds from the album to pay for the tour. Historically recorded music was the main source of revenue for musicians and then after streaming/piracy got really big it became concert revenue that was the big moneymaker.
