A punk concert isn't fun without a pit.

I get more anxious than nervous before a concert.

The live concert industry has become corporate-ized.

I never really went to any concerts that I wasn't in.

Going to a concert is so overwhelming and the energy is amazing.

The live concerts are still one of the two greatest joys of my life.

Every day we make more progress toward understanding the concert hall.

If you told me I could only do one thing, I would choose live concerts.

A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It's a theatrical event.

I headline concert halls for 20,000 people, but I still play smaller venues.

These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert, to fleece the people.

When I go to a concert, I can't help but feel happy and everything else just goes away. I hope everyone feels that way at my concerts.

I wish I could balance life as an artist and a mother, but sometimes when I am doing live concerts, I have to ask people to help me in my other role.

So okay, I accepted, and I realized while working for that concert that I'd been missing something very important and vital to me, and that something was music.

It takes generosity to discover the whole through others. If you realize you are only a violin, you can open yourself up to the world by playing your role in the concert.

Live concerts were to train the ears and to introduce, constantly, new musical ideas to the audience so the next time they showed up or the next record they would be ready and receptive.

The live concerts are everything and I’m very grateful that most of my career, I’m a live artist, I’ve been doing this. So I’ve traveled quite a lot, played in - I never stopped playing.

I still do live concerts all over the country - about four a month - with singing and characters and improv. It keeps me limber. I'll never lose that. And comedy is still the bread and butter.

The repressed memory is like a noisy intruder being thrown out of the concert hall. You can throw him out, but he will bang on the door and continue to disturb the concert. The analyst opens the door and says, If you promise to behave yourself, you can come back in.

I feel that classical music should be a more recognizable part of everyone’s entertainment. It has been my hope that through live concerts, motion pictures, recordings, international competitions, and interesting public forums, a larger group of people will learn to love classical music and attend live concert performances.

Every purchasing decision involves a trade-off between what I call fidelity and convenience. Fidelity is the total experience of something - how great the experience is. Convenience is how easy it is to get something. A live concert is a high fidelity way to experience music; an MP3 file is a high convenience way to experience music. Depending on the situation, one or the other is probably pretty appealing. What's not appealing is something that offers neither.
