I hate the thought of going to a concert, but actually being there and soaking up the collective enjoyment is bliss

Saw a band that a loved one really enjoys- I really like them too- though I am not as into them as he is. Mostly listen to select songs whereas he likes all the B sides.

That being said- thinking about having to go and being with 1000s of people nearly makes me sick beforehand.

I do not like going to shows when the fans are there just because the performer is popular- that makes the energy glitchy and I hate it and would rather have a kidney stone, but when the band is such that the only people who would go really love them- Its like taking a bath in collective love.
