I like to write about concerts that I have been to, or read about concerts I am thinking about going, to, or just plain interested in. I have wrote a couple here http://forums.fender.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=94963 http://forums.fender.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=93177,and I was thinking about centralizing them to a Concert Review post . Now I am not talking about where your band or your uncle? or your friends band is playing unless of causes you or your uncle or friends are in a world wide touring act and might show up at a venue close to one of our readers. So,before I write my next review I am looking for opinions, and I know there are a lot of them out there, to either start this post or just write a review post by post
Thank you
mud
hope this poll thing works

Yep, I like to read a good review...not just, "He played great! I love Artist X!!", but a real, in-depth review that includes song lists, GEAR, songs that surprised the concert-goer (either a song they didn't like before that sounded good or an obscure song that isn't normally played), GEAR, the circumstances of attending the concert (date with significant other, if you always go see this artist, on a vacation, etc.) GEAR, who the band members are, GEAR, presentation (lightshows, video boards, etc.), and what else? Oh yeah, what GEAR they're using!

I've written a few reviews for this forum or for my friends, and most people say I do a good job--but I'm usually telling people the information above.

I love independent and objective reviews, by someone who is neither a fan nor hates the genre.
The musical quality, the sound quality, the connection with the audience, age and sobriety of the audience, the opening act, extras and the worst and best moments of the concert. I don't care about what gear they use as long as they can make it sound good. I care about what gear I use, not others.

I, too, like good, objective concert reviews. I also like to hear about the gear being used, although it's kind of unusual to see a reviewer discuss it in any great detail (other than stuff like, "Joey Guitar took the stage with a beat-up Les Paul strung down to around his ankles, then dove into the opening riff of Day Tripper").

Concert reviews can also be a great way to see a lot of shows for free, if you're connected with some type of media outlet. A friend of mine does concert reviews for a local music website, and, more often than not, can get hooked up with comp tickets.

I voted yes that I like to read concert reviews and voted no that I don't write them with the exception of a couple of very short ones in the past. Looking forward to your next one mud. :D

I like to read reviews and see how much I agree or disagree with the critics.
