[edit] When is a concert not musical

The first sentence of this article says that a concert is a performance, "usually of music". When is a concert not "of music"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.125.4 (talk) 12:57, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jam Bands

I think that something should be noted about jam bands. This genre (for lack of a better word) of music is relevant because it is used to describe the bands that focus their whole career around performing live. These bands are also important because the "pioneers of jam" such as Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, etc. have contributed to the fairly modern wave of live music appreciation in music fandom.

The problem with featuring jam bands is that many different kinds of musical groups focus on performing live, such as most symphony orchestras, jazz combos, and chorales. While among popular musicians with nice recording contracts, jam bands certainly do hold concerts more often and with longer songs, this is the comprehensive article on concerts and cannot limit itself to commercial music. -Acjelen 03:41, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is a concert a concerto

Concerto?

Is this the same as Concerto? --Romanm 00:49, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)

No. A concert is a performance, a concerto is a work. Dysprosia 01:03, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

This article needs serious improvement if not a complete re-write. Presently the majority of the article discusses rock concerts since about the 1970s. It also takes the present conditions of the record-music industry as necessary conditions. Thousands of musicians perform before an audience without any of the conditions described in the article. -Acjelen 00:43, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merge Arena concert into Concert

There doesn't seem to be enough at Arena concert there to warrant more than a section in Concert. Thoughts? -Mike5904 01:33, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

That's certainly true. I've taken care of it. -Acjelen 02:29, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dr. K. J. Yesudas

Why are Dr. K. J. Yesudas' concerts so notable to get a "See Also" on this page? --Robbie 09:34, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] When were the first

What year did the first live pop concerts begin and with which bands???

What do you mean by "pop"? The division of popular music from serious or art music is difficult to date exactly and probably varied by country. -Acjelen 20:01, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citations and sources

I'm not sure what in the article requires cited references or sources. -Acjelen 14:58, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
