"Compared to what they were, rock concerts now are like business meetings"

- Paul Kantner

About this Quote

This quote by Paul Kantner is a reflection on the altering nature of rock concerts with time. He is recommending that rock shows have actually ended up being more official and structured, and less wild and disorderly than they used to be. This could be due to the increased commercialization of the music industry, along with the increased policy of performances by local authorities. It might likewise be because of the truth that the audience for rock shows has altered with time, with more individuals attending for the music than for the environment. Kantner's quote suggests that the energy and excitement of rock concerts has actually been lost, and that they now feel more like a service conference than a wild and interesting event. This could be viewed as a sign of the times, as the music industry has ended up being more corporate and less focused on the individual artist.
