WHY I PREFER TO GO TO CONCERTS IN SMALL CLUBS?

What was my experiences in concerts like? I remember when I went to a concert in

Quito the price of the tickets to enjoy the concert near to my favorite artis was really
expensive in comparison with the price for the tickets to the same artist in a local club
which was a lot less expensive than the tickets for the concert in the stadium.
However, I spent a considerable amount of money in both concert, $500 in the
stadium’s concert and a few months later $150 in the club’s concert.

Another problem in the stadium’s concert is the people who assist to them. Although
many people say that the concert in the stadiums are better because you can be more
 sociable, it is a lie because they are always really annoyed because when I was in a
concert in Quito there were many people who was singing and talking really loudly, so
I politely asked them to be less loudly. Despite of this, they kept singing louder for this
reason I prefer to go with my friends to small clubs to listen music in better conditions
than in a stadium.

Another reason for going to the concerts in small places is because the sound in the
stadium’s concert is really bad if you don’t have a good position in this place and
probably you can’t listen to really well. I have this problem because apart from that
the people don’t let me listen to me well, the concert the sound was really awful
because I couldn’t listen to the guitarist and the pianist well, for this reason most of
my friends prefer to go to a concert in small club to have a better appreciation from
the sound of the performers. In despite of my love for live music in big concerts, I
don’t enjoy all of them. and I prefer to go to small clubs because the energy of this
place is more relaxed than in the stadiums, I always enjoy this energy and when I get
to these places such as the clubs in Plaza Foch, I always feel relaxed. If I don’t want to
listen the music in the clubs, I can eat something or drink and I can be more sociable
because you are able to talk with people in these clubs.

While I like go to the stadium to see my favorite performers, I also enjoy to go to listen
them in the clubs, I prefer the small places because there are more comfortable than
listen to the performers in the stadium. According to my ex-boss, who was the pianist
of the band, told me that the sound is the most important thing in a concert for this
reason I prefer the concert in small clubs because I always have a good music
experience in this kind of places, especially in the last concert when I am, because
there was a really good sound to enjoy a lot to my favorite guitarist.

At the moment, I love to go to small places to listen to music and enjoy to my favorite
performers because I have many interesting conversations and experiences with my
friends, I can save more money and there aren’t annoying people to enjoy the
concerts in the clubs.
