What Makes Live Music Great?

In order to have a successful concert many different things have to be planned, thought of and carried out.  Live performers have to sing great, if there vocals are not perfect they can receive harsh backlash from the crowd about having their voices auto tuned in the studios.  If the performers do not have good dance moves the crowd will say that they are boring to watch and too stiff.  Performers are constantly trying new jumps, tricks and ideas on stage to show and wow their audiences like no one else has ever done before.  Keeping ahead of the game can be exhausting for some performers; sometimes their acts can come out on top or be flops.  Performing live can be a  tricky task that not all artists can handle; it can be hard to master.  When artists manage to perform well audiences better appreciate artists because they realize that an artist is multi-demensional and capable of not only being a singer but they are capable of being a performer.  When I am deciding who some of my favorite singers are I think about a few different things, how their music relates to me, their voice and how they perform live.  Live performances shows people what an artist is made of.  It gives a chilling experience that can't be seen any other time way, a radio and stereo can't compare to being right next to an artist.  When seeing an artist live their true talent is revealed.

  1. The idea of good music is so different for everyone. Although I have only seen Easton Corbin live, I find live performances to be a true test to the skills an artist has. It just seems to me that if a artist can perform live well without all of the technology perfecting their performances, then how much is technology making these artist better than they really are?

  2. I agree with Sarah that the true test to see the skills of the artist is in a concert. I know so many artist who suck live but sound amazing because of technology.
