I love music to the bone and in my enthusiasm for music, I have seen numerous concerts. Since virtual concerts began emerging, the question that comes up in my mind is whether live shows will ever fade away. For me, all the kinds of digital entertainment currently shows some limited capability to beat the vibe associated with live shows.
 
Virtual concerts will not ever become a substitute for genuine live concerts. A physical interaction with the musicians means a lot to me. The virtual concert remains unmatched for traditional concerts. Virtual concerts fail to produce the same deep interpersonal connection like the real events.
 
I will always prefer a physical concert to a virtual concert anytime, anyway. We are humans and not machines, a virtual concert won't allow us to experience connections or feel the emotions and the vibes that are obtained in a physical concerts. We are emotional beings.
 
I need to feel the vibrations rock the soul out of my body. A virtual concert couldn't ever come close to that unless they set up "mini" televised local events with sound systems that could. However, it's still not the same because you want to see the artist too, and a screen just wouldn't cut it for me.

I might see it working going forward, but there will always be that nostalgia for people in the age group of probably 28-50 who would want to see a live concert at a venue over what they could pretty much do on YouTube at $0 the price.
 
As someone that has been involved with concerts for years, I can authoritatively state that virtual concerts can never have the same excitement as real time on site concerts. I hold a worship concert every year. 2020 during the lockdown was the first and only time we held the show virtually. And t didn't quite have the buzz that it uses to have.
 
Physical presence has its own essence altogether. It is impossible to feel that vibe across a screen. Being amid a crowd and clapping and dancing or singing alone in one's living room can not be compared. However, Covid-19 has taught us to appreciate a lot of digital entertainment when situation is dire, and so I am grateful that there still exist a chance for those who cannot attend live performances, to enjoy them through the screen.
