You're at a concert, and you know the words to the songs the act you're seeing is singing (or rapping?). What are you most inclined to do? I'm going to siong and/or rap to the best of my ability and loudness.

I didn't pay to hear a hall full of other people vocalize along wth whom I wanted to hear in concert! I may mouth along, but I'm not singing (and would prefer others don't, too).

If the singer or band explicitly or implicitly invites the audience to get in their licks, count me in. Otherwise, I don't.

It depends on the genre and the setting (for example:yes at a rock or country show in an arena, but not so much at a classical vocal recital or intimate jazz date)

Recorded musical, backgrounds are endemic to some musical genres, regardless how high profile the concert. Your thoughts about that? I'd rather not spend my concert ticket dollars on acts who use recorded tracks, regardless the genre.

I understand that some of the people making the music I like use tracks, If the singing's good, there's enough going on visually and/or considering other factors, that's OK by me.

You want a tactile remembrance of a show. Or you care enough about who you're seeing that you want to give them even more monetary support. what kind/s of souvenirs/merchandise do you like to buy at concerts? Clothing (shirts, bandanas, kerchiefs, etc.)

You're significantly older or younger than the majority of the audience at a concert you're attending. How comfortable are you with that? Age is nothing but a number. I'm there for the music, so it matters not.
