Anyone else prefer listening to their system more than a concert?

@12many - You are right about the difference between the two. Have you ever gone to any concerts in the 1970's? At least as loud as anything today, and the PA's were much worse and more distorted, causing ear-ringing that could last for days. But yes, even in the 21st century, I've been to some shows that I had to leave after a short while it was so loud and distorted, but that's often more down to the sound crew than the PA gear itself, as I've heard great sounding shows at the same venues.

For you old folk like me, paste this on Google or your web search engine of choice and have a listen. The sell out every gig, even Red Rocks. You might be able to "just click on it". They do every song Led Zepplin ever did. This is short taste of the tons of songs they play in the Concerts. We have seen them 5 times, and it’s like putting on a set of headphones. They wanted to sound like the original album, so they added a couple guitars to take care of all the over-dubs Zep did in the studio. Talk about bringing back memories...

And yes...TURN IT UP 

Saw the Rollin Stones last year at Mercedes Benz stadium last year in ATL. A huge stadium and I was way up in the nosebleed section. The acoustics were terrible and it sounded like a continuous bass rumble. Much better sounds in front of my rig!! At 73 I’ve probably attended my last live rock concert. Won’t rule out jazz though.

When experiencing the Sphere in Las Vegas my immediate thought was to switch to electrostatic dipoles since I do like listening at home more than concerts.  The Sphere is a reference for concert listening in large venues at least.  

I use to love live performances, but anymore they are too loud, too many annoying people and a lot of hassle. Don’t get any of that at home with my beautiful system. Guess I’m just getting old! 😮
