“Live Performance & Concert versus Television”

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Attending a live performance (for example, a play, concert, or sporting event) is more enjoyable than watching the same event on television. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
------------------------------------------------


I prefer to attend live shows in cases of concerts. This is mainly because concerts are rare and shall not be so soon telecasted. However those may be telecasted only after a long interval of time. But many movies from film industry are repeatedly available on Television and those can be viewed sitting in our comfortable arm chair with push back type high back seat. The main advantage and pleasure of attending a live concert is that you see many celebrities in person giving their performances that is most exciting. Imagine some one watching pictures of his or her darling and on the other hand seeing them in person. The latter one is very much pleasurable obviously.

Secondly you come across very high class, sophisticated and aristocrat gentry. Also you can see the eager and the excitement of the audience that is highly exciting in itself which otherwise one can not enjoy sitting at home and watching TV. One can make and develop new contacts that are beneficial for social life as well as for business.

However a sports event like Wimbledon Tennis, World Cup Cricket or even one day international matches it is not possible for every one to get entry there and watch personally. However if one has enough time and money he or she can watch. But very busy business class people can watch those events on television.

In conclusion, watching concerts and sports live and on television have their own merits.
Depending upon viewers’ type of business, availability of time etc one can either attend live program or watch it on television. I don’t see any demerits in any mode irrespective of witnessing it live or watching it on television.
