Your not hearing unamplified music at a rock concert. The only music to hear unamplified is classical or jazz. Period. I’ve been to enough jazz scenes in very small clubs to know what live music sounds like. Real tenors, horns, pianos, etc. And it was quality music with a legacy going back to the 20’s, not some loud noise not qualified to be called music. Jazz has never been music for the masses. If you don’t dig it, fine, the music doesn’t need you.
Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like?

Pure, live, non-amplified, unadulterated music.
Musicians do but most layman do not.
Interesting read by Roger Skoff.
Enjoy.
