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)
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.
Concerto?
Is this the same as Concerto? -- Romanm 00:49, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
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)
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)
Why are Dr. K. J. Yesudas' concerts so notable to get a "See Also" on this page? -- Robbie 09:34, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
What year did the first live pop concerts begin and with which bands???
how many concerts are there a year in Europe
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.
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.
It would be helpful to add concerts that contain larger orchestras and choirs. I have added a segment to a section, types of concerts, about most varieties of classical concerts. I added the concerts: symphony orchestra, chamber orchestra, chamber music, choral music, opera, and music theater. Although some of these concerts are a type of music genre, they are also a type of concert. A lot of the concerts I have posted have direct links to other Wikipedia pages. However, in the case of symphony and chamber orchestra, there was no direct link to their kind of music. Instead, I decided to write a small definition describing each of them. I think there should be another part containing jazz music or as someone listed earlier jam bands. While jam bands and jazz have similar traits to classical music, they do not fit in with that category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ky4649 ( talk • contribs) 01:46, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
Since the article appeared to be missing any sort of history, I believe adding in a section specifically for history will help make the article more complete. The section I will add will be a somewhat broad overview of the history of concerts. This general overview will talk about how gatherings that are similar to our definition of concerts began in several European universities. This section also talks about how an English composer and violinist, John Banister, may have actually created the first public concerts, which he performed in his own home. Banister also charged admission for his concerts, which is a practice similar to that of modern concerts. I also briefly mentioned what is thought to be the first rock and roll concert. While this is only a small history of concerts, I believe it will help provide some insight toward concerts that people had not known before. Dexteraccount ( talk) 05:01, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
To help add to the completion of the article, I added the history of the formal concert from the 17th century to the 18th century. The information added covers what the events were like, as well as what music was played at these events. This specific history, paired with a general history of concerts would go nicely together. I felt like having this added to the article makes it better because it gives the background of the topic which the page is covering. Having a single place for all of this information makes it a better resource for those looking for it. I think if we were to add the rest of the centuries leading up to today, It would provide an even clearer and more accurately show change over time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by J morgan28 ( talk • contribs) 03:26, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
To help contribute to the completion of this article, I have decided to add a section to shed light on the three types of venues concerts can be hosted at. These venues include halls which are specifically built to host mostly classical music concerts, amphitheaters which have tiers of seats surrounding an outdoor stage, and sporting arenas/centers which can be altered and outfitted with the right equipment to host a concert and is usually the largest of the three types of venues I am addressing. I have also included an example of a well-known venue for each different type of concert venue. Additionally, I mentioned which venues are most likely to host a certain type of musical concert. Currently, the closest section to addressing this topic is the "Formats" section, so I plan to add my new section directly above that. Sdesai90 ( talk) 03:44, 28 March 2019 (UTC) Sdesai90
The third paragraph of the lead section talks about concert psychology, but isn't that a bit inappropriate to put in the introduction? When reading the article for the first time, I was taken aback by this unusual addition. Concert psychology is not one of the main points of the article, and it does not appear anywhere else in the article. Like the rest of the article, it is lacking in sources. I think concert psychology should be in its own section, if it should even have a place in the article at all. NovaChromatic ( talk) 18:17, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
This image seems... well it doesnt seem to provide any benefit to the article. Indeed no one uninformed could even tell what the person is doing in the image. I'm removing it. Sephiroth storm ( talk) 02:22, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
