I attend several live concerts each year, most by travel to NYC to hear visiting orchestras at Carnegie Hall, and the Metropolitan Opera, where I’ve enjoyed a subscription for many seasons - live performance is my reference. My CD/SACD collection is quite extensive and varied; about 80 percent classical/opera, the balance classic rock, jazz, folk and ethnic. | |

In fact many outdoor venues (Caramoor, Planting Fields Arboretum, Pavarotti's stadium concerts, for example) provide concert like seating that requires a ticket for that particular seat, and those who buy those tickets, suprise, sit there and ... more | |
