I'm not a fancy person. I love small spaces. I like tiny cars. I don't buy things, aside from music and books. I don't get loads of attention and maybe it's because I'm kind of boring. I don't think I'm boring, but I have different interests. I don't go out much, not because I'm hiding but because I'm not a big drinker. I go out and have a good time, I go to concerts and stuff.
I never went to the Beatles' concerts to scream. I never screamed at anybody's show. I was on my feet with the entire, all of the crowned heads of Motown, and we were shrieking our guts out.
When recordings replaced concerts as the dominant mode of hearing music, our conception of the nature of performance and of music itself was altered.
I am just a choreographer, and I am trying to make productions, not dance concerts.
Every year I'm doing different projects, concerts, touring, open-air festivals.
Perform with elan, brilliance and dash - at concert pitch.
I don't think anyone listening to my music needs any special knowledge. They don't need to have a background in contemporary music. They don't need to go to new-music concerts all the time in order to be able to understand it.
Ultimate truth, if there be such a thing, demands the concert of many voices.
I have been working for Africans since I was 18, when I got involved with the Nelson Mandela concerts. I got involved with debt cancellation because Desmond Tutu demanded that the world respond to that situation.
A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd and on stage. It's my favorite part of the business, live concerts.
It was really strange for me when I started to play concerts in America where the audiences were all sitting down.
I would love to do more private concerts.
The best KISS concert I've ever been to was…my wedding.
What the Who is all about is exactly that and it always has been. If it exists today for this concert, it's in response again to a function which is happening out there on the street.
Even I had no opportunity to conduct very many concerts after World War II.
Being in front of a live audience again. I get that in my concerts but there's nothing like being on Broadway.
Nobody's going to get a hot dog at my concert!
I have a lot of experience in playing all sorts of venues. And one of my interests is to understand what constitutes the vibe of a place and what makes one concert different from another. You can't fully measure or calculate these things, yet they are absolutely evident once you're on stage.
I didn't really buy LPs or go to concerts.
I knew I wanted it to be a piece of theatre rather than just a concert.
