When I was 17, I dated a nurse. I felt inadequate because she was saving lives, and I was just a musician. When I told her how I felt, she was shocked. She said that she may be saving lives, but musicians make those lives worth living. Live music is central to our human experience, and gives far more back to people than it takes financially

Greed is killing live shows. Ticket prices are absurd. I'd rather pay $20 and see a lesser known band in a club (and usually meet the band and maybe even share a drink or a story) than $100+ for a ticket to sit in nosebleed and realize i forgot to bring binoculars.

Us old folks remember when you went to a concert, tickets were $30 - 35, and getting tickets a week before a show was no problem. Live Nation and Ticketmaster have ruined the whole experience, and do nothing for the consumer.

Watching live music in a stadium is like looking at the moon from your garden.

Who wants to pay $400 to sit up in a stadium? Plenty of people, I guess, but not me.

whether it's a quote of Churchill or not - It would be a good one: "When Winston Churchill was asked to cut arts funding in favour of the war effort, he simply replied, ‘then what are we fighting for?’" I (as a german) can't image a world without the music from the UK.

We have lost so many venues in Australia. A big problem has been the building of luxury flats next to venues. These rich people move in next to venues that have been homes to live music for 50+ years and then they complain about the noise. The Palace in Melbourne was originally a movie theatre, my grandmother used to go there when she was young. It became a live music venue at some point and hosted all kinds of amazing concerts. I saw Richard Ashcroft, BRMC and Ace Frehley there. Then the new neighbours complained until the owners gave in and sold the building to developers. There was a campaign to save it, but the new owners had already demolished the interior before enough money could be raised. I really hope that this doesn't happen to any more iconic live music venues as we've already lost too many.

Lets all remind ourselves, that if we take interest to seek local shows, they might happen more. The overflowing pop crowd is always going to fill stadiums, but those of us who want the close up experience have to put ourselves into it.

Without small venues and the indie artists nurtured by them, all of our music culture will consist of highly produced "acts" chosen for their looks, not their poetry.

Sadly, it wouldn't be the first industry to sacrifice long term future for short term profits.

I used to be a local live music photographer. I saw a worrying pattern at the majority of venues. When venues had multiple unsigned bands on each band would have their own crowds made up of family and friends.once the band performed they left and so did their crowd. Once you got to the last act there was hardly anyone left in the venue

Why pay 40 bucks for an intimate evening with an artist when you can pay ten times that to stare at a screen 'cause you're too far away from the product you worship to actually see it.

Here in the states, it seems like when schools trim budgets, the music, trades, and other arts get cut.
All the money goes to sports.

I believe that, at least in the US, the monopoly of Ticketmaster/Live Nation and ticket resellers (who used to be called scalpers - which used to be illegal) are the leeches who are killing the live music industry by hurting both the small venues, as well as up and coming artists and bands that can barely afford to tour, because their return is so low.

One useful shift we've seen recently is more early shows. Traditionally live music doesn't start until late, but both bands and audiences complain about not getting home until the wee hours of the morning.
Recently we've seen venues start to book more 'happy hour' gigs. They seem to draw more people to begin with, and more of those people stay until the end.

Here in L.A many clubs I grew up knowing, have come and gone on Hollywood blvd and the sunset strip. Now in their place are high priced vacant condos , offices and Netflix studios. I’m 45 now. I was raised a block away from Capital Records and the Pantages Theater from 79-93. I remember seeing Hair Metal dudes and Real Punks walking up and down Hollywood blvd from earliest memory at age 3. I remember seeing guys and gals unpacking their vans and tour bus. The smell of leather jackets coming out from the shops on the Blvd.
When you watch a classic hair metal band video that takes place in Hollywood or the film Airheads. That’s what the vibe felt like. A never ending Party.
I know there must be small clubs. But the magic of going out, getting to know other band and artists has dwindled for the current generation.
But I’m grateful that we can make our own music at home. Put out an album/single on The World Wide Web. Venue maybe closing but if you look back in NYC in the 70s and 80s. People got creative and got into empty buildings, theaters and warehouses. Also Schools have auditoriums. They may want to make a buck as well. Morrissey played at my old high school in 2013.

Greed has always been the big enemy of all the arts but especially music. Now all the consolidation, unreasonable increases in production costs has ticket prices so high many fans simply can't afford to attend a show.

I'm 65 years old and back in the 70's and 80's we went to local bar shows all the time, we had a few bands we followed and went to most of their shows in the area. Some actually produced albums (not CD's) and we bought those as well. One of our Chicago FM stations produced an album showcasing up and coming Chicago bands, which a couple went national and did pretty well.
It's not the same scene, now. So expensive, if any bar or club even has live music anymore. I remember when the bars went from live to DJs, and of course, that started a decline in live music at that time.
The consumption of music today is so different and unfortunately, some older ways die off. Change is always a constant. Just looking at a few websites on the Chicago scene, it seems vibrant and strong today, and I hope it never dies, because you can see and hear pretty much whatever you want there. There is nothing better than seeing a live act and enjoying it with others. It makes a lot of fun memories.

I grew up musically between about 1969 and the 80's with so many great bands it was staggering. Pink Floyd, the Beatles, the Stones, the Who, Genesis, Yes, Moody Blues and the list is almost endless. No auto tune for a fraction of the cost now adays. Sadly that time ended long ago but I remember it like it was yesterday.
