Are you one of these people who love live music and are the first on the phone to the ticket box office. Or do you prefer to just stay within the comforts of your own home where entertainment is concerned. Personally, I love going to concerts, especially when theay are the likes of Take That, though bloody hard to get tickets, I done it.

Depends on what I'm listening to. I've been to some concerts where the use of sequenced or pre-recorded tracks made the performance almost indistinguishable from the studio versions of some music. If I'm listening to orchestral music beit classical or some poprock musicians who use real orchestras on tour, there's nothing like live. Of course, one can't go to a concert andlay in bed, so there's that real plus for recorded music. I also enjoy live acoustic jazz.

I love live concerts. But tickets are getting more and more expensive, so I can't go to all that I would like to attend. Still, I've been to a lot of great ones.

I have been to some concerts. If It is something I like a lot I will go and listen live. But it is hard to get the tickeckts some times. Also my mum doesn't like the same things me so I cant go even if I wanted to. But reasontly I went to proms in the park in Glasgow it was live on the radio and tv as well. That was with a group that I go with called Clubnet.

I've been to a few concerts. As much as I love live music, I hate fighting my way through all the people. I prefer small concerts to big ones. The Arrogant Worms are coming to my city next month; methinks I might go...
But I have been to a couple concerts where the performer is SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better live than on CD, and they're amazing on CD to begin with.

I love live concerts, or going to see bands. Depends on my mood, though, sometimes I prefer to just relax at home with a CD.

Easily live concerts. And I prefer smaller bands playing in smaller clubs so getting tickets/prices are often not a real issue.

What about recorded live? huh, huh, huh?

That can be quite annoying sometimes because sometimes half of it is sung by the crowd there when it is recorded and you haven't got the same atmosphere about it as you have when you're there in person.
