Yep …. me too. For like reasons, I generally choose my live concert event attendance influenced on the venue acoustics . To fully appreciate live performances by somebody like Diana Krall, Chris Botti, Celtic Woman dictates a stepped up good acoustics venue .
Sure…I splurged on rare occasion for first section floor seats in a 22000 seat arena for mega star rock groups (Eagles, Fleetwood Mac ).. Crap acoustics be damned . I can only imagine how stellar the latter could sound in a smaller “proper” venue .
