    Well, There are two answers to this, one is of the kleinbl00 variety, which has more to do with the girls I experienced the show with and the other is about the sound/show.
and maybe there's a third way to answer this.

The company we keep is hugely important because then it's a shared experience.

The music and sound and all the bells and whistles that make a great performance is important because that's the reason we're there - to have a live experience beyond the video and audio we can turn on in our living rooms.

What I especially enjoy, though, is that thing that happens in the audience when the concert is really amazing. It doesn't matter what the age range, sobriety range, hotness range or whatever: when the music rocks, when it's the real thing and this applies to classical concerts as well -- you know you are really alive and part of a unique transcendent moment, yo.
