Fact or Fiction - Boomers had the best music and concerts

Fact.

This generation or whatever they call themselves missed it.

Lighters replaced by cell phone zombies...

I’m not saying you’re wrong but you should actually look for some good music. There are still plenty of great musicians playing real instruments. I have a feeling you have your mind made up about it though and probably won’t.

Agreed

I think concerts were about 6 bucks in the 70s

I agree, artists from the baby boom generation had genuine talent and created timeless classics that have endured. Why do you think so many “artists” of today have covered so many songs of yesteryear? They recognize quality and accept the fact that they cannot outclass those artists so they just put out a cover version of a hit single.

Those boomer musicians were ripping off poor blues musicians. Get off your hi horse. I have seen great musicians from all era's. The boomer musicians were great....but what bands you heard were limited by the record company contracts. Today, anybody can put out music and yes, a lot of it is crap. But there is a lot of great music out there too. But in the 60's you were guided to what was good by the record companies......now it takes effort to find the good stuff.

FALSE for concerts

Sound quality has improved infinitely since that time. Additionally - the paradigm shifted around the late 00s to where a band's main source of income was ticket sales rather than record sales because of piracy, streaming, etc. This has forced bands to improve their live show. Sometimes this is a concentrated effort and others it's just a natural byproduct of simply playing live more.

Generation X did. Boomer stuff is boring in comparison.

but for the last Stone's tour I couldn't find a ticket for less than 500-600 bucks.

I think I paid around $150 per ticket for their concert in Dallas.
