Going to a concert can sometimes be very difficult. It can be a long journey. There's the ticket prices. But when the music goes to the community - not the community coming to the concert - they say, 'Wow! I didn't know that this music was so amazing!'

I've only been to one concert in my life.

A lot of concerts leave you wanting for something good to eat or drink while you're there.

I didn't really buy LPs or go to concerts.

Recently, I went to a disco with friends, and all the young people were saying, 'Dudamel, we want to go to your concert, but it's impossible because it's sold out.' It's really amazing.

Playing for someone else's crowd is always difficult for any band.

I won't apologize for ticket prices. I think we're well worth it. We consider ourselves in the elite touring acts, like the Stones, Elton John, Paul McCartney.

I'm not very interested in pops concerts. I'm interested in special events.
