The first willing concert I went to was Aerosmith when I was like 14.
Solo concerts are murder, I find; I don't like doing them.
Nobody's going to get a hot dog at my concert!
I have been working for Africans since I was 18, when I got involved with the Nelson Mandela concerts. I got involved with debt cancellation because Desmond Tutu demanded that the world respond to that situation.
My mother wanted me to be a concert pianist.
When I go to a concert, I can't help but feel happy and everything else just goes away. I hope everyone feels that way at my concerts.
So I'm in my 51st year of playin' mostly nightclubs. I do some concerts.
I probably went to musique concrete concerts - though not the very first ones - at the beginning of the 50s.
I love doing concert music.
I love dill pickles! They're on my rider for my concerts so I eat one every day.
The concert is a polite form of self induced torture.
Every day we make more progress toward understanding the concert hall.
Because I don't take money, I'll go anywhere and do a benefit concert with almost any orchestra.

Every once in a while I'll find a new way of playing something, it will suggest itself. But generally speaking, there's a set sonic potential, and that's in concert with a set instrumental technique.
Going to a concert is so overwhelming and the energy is amazing.
I'm approaching a period in my life though where I'd like to be totally absorbed into music, doing concerts, writing something. Basically, that IS what I am doing.
I say what's in my heart, and I do it in my concerts.
The live concert industry has become corporate-ized.
Whenever I visit a city, I like to see what classical music concerts are on offer.
I never went to the Beatles' concerts to scream. I never screamed at anybody's show. I was on my feet with the entire, all of the crowned heads of Motown, and we were shrieking our guts out.
Being in front of a live audience again. I get that in my concerts but there's nothing like being on Broadway.
