Has the internet (twitter, facebook and fan sites) spoilt concerts?
I ask as we are all (most of us) moaning about the set lists. I would say I am half moaning about the same songs being played and half moaning about the band not changing the set list enough if they are playing the same venue for 2 or 3 nights. God help those who have bought 4 or 5 tickets for different nights at the O2 if what’s happening in America is anything to go by. But I digress…
In the old days when I first started going concerts there was no way to know what the band played in previous shows unless you bought a bootleg (normally months after gig), went to other shows or read a review in a music mag.
When the band rolled into town every fan in the house didn’t know what was coming and when.
Now we follow twitter and facebook and all we do is moan (me especially!) when our fav songs are not in the set list or we see loads of the same songs from the nights before.
So has the internet ruined the concert? I’d like your views please……………..
