I confess that I have not spent money to see an actual symphonic orchestra in many decades - I was a huge audiophile in the mi-70’s to early 80’s.
I’ve been in a lot of “bar” bands since I started playing bass in ‘98 and find that the better I get, the less I appreciate live music, unless the musicians are truly talented/skilled.
The dirty secret is that the classical genre just isn’t what it was before radio and TV. No type of live performance is.
I enjoyed some blues and jazz places some time ago. The down side is later life when the hearing gets less distinct.
