what makes for a better atmosphere at a concert-- indoors or out?

To get the best sound at a concert, an outdoor venue is usually best. The free airspace means you only get the direct sound from the speakers. You don't have all the phase cancellations that you would get from an indoor venue. Unless you have a venue that is acoustically treated very well; the sound from an outdoor venue is typically unmatched. \n\nWhen you are inside a confined venue (anything with walls) you will always have some natural reverberation from the acoustics of the room. The problem with this is that it causes the sound to be continued longer than it was supposed to which can cause a "muddiness" in the sound. Also when you are inside a venue you typically hear a lot of the stage volume, instead of the engineered sound coming through the PA. \n\nThings like the guitar amps on stage, stage monitors for the artist onstage typically don't sound very good and can seem overpowering when standing in the front row. For example when you are right in front of the stage and on the side of the guitar player and he has his amp turned up all the way you will typically hear his guitar more than anything else, and likewise for the bass player. When you are at an outdoor venue the stage is typically larger and you are further away from the sound coming from the stage.\n\nI'm not saying that all outdoor venues sound good, you have to be at a venue that is designed well. Typically outdoor venues the audience is on a inclined surface made out of cement. Which can cause a "slap back" effect. Which basically means you hear the sound 2 times, once from the speaker and the second sound from the reflection off the cement surface. But this is greatly reduced when the venue is filled with people, they usually soak up the reflected sound. The Best scenario would be an outdoor venue that has a grass field on an incline, instead of cement. \n\nTo hear the concert best you would want to be right in front or behind the sound guy because he is what is changing the sound to make it sound best, and is constantly compensating for the sound coming from the stage.

Slipknot. They gave off the most energy that I've felt at a concert. The mosh pit was insane. It was at the Electric Factory here in Philly (which is a small venue, very intimate). Luckily I was extremely close and got to meet a few of the band members. Best concert. Ever. \n\nComing in a close second is System of a Down. Then Metallica, then A Perfect Circle. They're all awesome bands. Highly recommended.

I recommend Tosca, De Phazz, anything by Couch records. Nice, smooth downtempo. It gives the air of sophistication, and promotes stimulating conversation.

It's mob psychology + the power of music. When you're at a concert, you are really excited and your mind lets go of inhibitions so that you try to sing along even if you do not know the song. Besides that, every else around is excited and trying to do the same. You can't help but be excited.

They control the Behavior of Sound Waves(Reflection, Refraction, and Diffraction)\n\nreflection of sound waves in auditoriums and concert halls do not always lead to displeasing results, especially if the reflections are designed right. Smooth walls have a tendency to direct sound waves in a specific direction. Subsequently the use of smooth walls in an auditorium will cause spectators to receive a large amount of sound from one location along the wall; there would be only one possible path by which sound waves could travel from the speakers to the listener. The auditorium would not seem to be as lively and full of sound. Rough walls tend to diffuse sound, reflecting it in a variety of directions. This allows a spectator to perceive sounds from every part of the room, making it seem lively and full. For this reason, auditorium and concert hall designers prefer construction materials which are rough rather than smooth.

the acoustics in bathrooms sound cool! Maybe were so happy to be clean we want to sing in happiness. This is where most people get they idea that they can sing as there's some law of physics happening right there that makes many of us  mortals sound like great singers! OoOOoooOOoO yaeaahh!

outside.  It makes for better pictures and video.  Also guest at your reception seem to be more active when they are outside.

Indoors or out? Makes a difference as almost any exercise indoors will make you sweat. You more than likely want a 'work-out' or cardiovascular exercise, running, fast walking, cycling, weights, etc.

Hot, violent colors like red inspire the performers to aggressiveness; choose only if you want to record "rap" music, or perhaps, Nazi marching songs.  Wimpy colors, like pink and pastel blue, are best for recording "Muzak," or mushy performers like Tiny Tim.  And BLACK is best for heavy-metal groups...and be sure to have a few inverted pentagrams on the walls, and maybe a bowl of chicken blood nearby for refreshment.  Seriously (if this IS a serious question), the color of the walls has absolutely nothing to do with the room acoustics.

With the longer daylight, people, including myself get out more especially in the evening. It's very hot where I am but everyplace has air conditioning. There's also a lot of outdoor activities at the local lakes and river. More fun in the summer!

Is that like a Debutant Ball or you just having a party at home?\nOther than the normal.. try some helium balloons tied to something heavy on the tables.. candles, covered (glass) gives a nice ambiance and is safe. lighting.. some plants.. to get the tropical feel..

Having been to both...  there is way more energy at a TK concert... it is like a Buffett concert in a way, but instead of pink flamingos you have cowboy hats..  DY is kind of nasal-ish...and he can't be "fast as me"

Cincinnati has an excellent compliment of talent around right now.\n\nWatch out for Nashville.  This month opening the new Symphony Hall said to be the most near-perfect acoustic venue in modern architecture.  Many of the world's most talented musicians are clamoring for performances there.

I went last year and had a wonderful time. The music is as good as it gets. There is a person or band for every kind of musical taste. The hardest part is deciding who you are going to see when, because sometimes you have to leave one awesome show to see another. There are a lot of people (85,000 last year I think), which at times is a little overwhelming and sometimes scary depending on your state of mind. The porta potties were disgusting by the last day and were out of tp- so take your own. Bring a hat for shade and a lot of water, you'll need it. Overall, it was an enlightening experience. You walk away with a new appreciation for music and how it affects people- really cool.
