But pure concert satisfaction isn’t always derived from arena and/or stadium events. In fact, we’re betting some of the best shows of the year were those that took place in small nightclubs in front of, say, 20 people on a Monday night. Concert excellence isn’t necessarily about the price of the ticket, special effects or the view from front row-center. It’s also about the act’s passion for performing, the vibe between artist and audience and that feeling of having experienced something truly special as you leave the venue after the show.
