While I think this may be true for lots of contemporary music - you just
can't get the same volume / get away with the same amount of jumping
around in you living room (and some of the performers may even enjoy
doing their job :). On the other hand, I have found most 'classical'
concerts I've been to disappointing. This is partly to it being less
comfortable but I think mainly due to the fact that I always think it is
not loud enough (which may be due to the location on the seats I can
afford). A notable exception to these objections were The Proms in
London, where you can sit on the floor/stand, right at the front for less
money than watching a film at cinema :)
