There are a lot of ways in which concerts are not ideal environments for me—primarily the noise, although the air quality is a significant factor
Mostly I have very much enjoyed all the ones I've been to! By and large they've been more folk-y singer-songwriter gigs, though. Plus live Scottish music at dances, which is a somewhat different thing but never gets old.
I've never been to a really big concert. I'm a little wary of the prospect, mostly because of the air quality issue; I can deal with a lot in the way of noise and crowd, but the smell of pot smoke gives me a pounding headache in about 30 seconds, and that would ruin the whole thing. But one of these days, an opportunity + band + ticket price confluence will likely come around such that I'll risk it anyway.
The last one I went to was Dessa (in Harvard Square), and if you have any fondness for extremely intelligent lyrical rap, I highly recommend her work. (And her concerts, based on the one I went to and on friends' reports of others; the opening band was mediocre, but when she came on the room lit up. Her stage charisma is magnetic, and the crowd was gloriously, enthusiastically queer from wall to wall, which was also pretty great.)
