I'd rather have people who are enthusiastic about what I'm doing than like, "Well, I thought we were going to a Miley Cyrus concert and now it's a strip show!"
Just as all pop music is not simplistic, not all contemporary concert music is complex. Often what a person connects with goes much deeper than generalized issues of simplicity and complexity.
I am just a choreographer, and I am trying to make productions, not dance concerts.
I'm not particularly lucid after a concert. I'm not very lucid before, either.
My concerts are about me being very private in public, but I'm very protective.
Every purchasing decision involves a trade-off between what I call fidelity and convenience. Fidelity is the total experience of something - how great the experience is. Convenience is how easy it is to get something. A live concert is a high fidelity way to experience music; an MP3 file is a high convenience way to experience music. Depending on the situation, one or the other is probably pretty appealing. What's not appealing is something that offers neither.
One of my interests is to understand what constitutes the vibe of a place and what makes one concert different from another.
I have a lot of experience in playing all sorts of venues. And one of my interests is to understand what constitutes the vibe of a place and what makes one concert different from another. You can't fully measure or calculate these things, yet they are absolutely evident once you're on stage.
I really, really love new work, and that's why, you know, I produced a concert series supporting new musicals and stuff like that. I hope to do more things like that.
It's hard to get concert tickets.
Everyone should be able to go to a concert and enjoy music, and not feel like they're going to be harassed. That's how I see punk music.
Capital must work, as it were, in concert with industry; and this concurrence is what I call the productive agency of capital.
Courtney Love said she once escorted Kerry to a concert. John Kerry once went out with Courtney Love and he's questioning Bush's judgment.
The live concerts are still one of the two greatest joys of my life.
A concert is always like a feast day to me.
When you can impress your mom by saying you've been to someone's concert, you know you're pretty lame.
Mathematicians - for what they do - are really poorly rewarded. And it's a very competitive field, almost as bad as being a concert pianist.
In the concert of nature it is hard to keep in tune with oneself if one is out of tune with everything else
Concerts are dangerous because anything can happen - which is one of the joys as well.
I get nervous before I conduct a concert, but then you just go out there and do it.
Live concerts were to train the ears and to introduce, constantly, new musical ideas to the audience so the next time they showed up or the next record they would be ready and receptive.
If people would like to come to my concerts I'd love them to come. And if they like the music that I make, I love that too. But I do not make music for other people. I make it to please myself.
I try to be careful not to do single concerts where I fly out, do my show, turn around and go home.
The first concert I saw was Cheryl Wheeler.
[Brian Hyland autograph] was what got me started on going to concerts, because from then on, I was at every concert for everybody.
