Live music making emotion more than playback music.The “expectancy mechanism” processes music as communication information which in turn warrants an emotional response (Juslin and Vastfjall, 2012). Juslin and Vastfjall (2012) add that the most common emotion evoked through musical performance is a “happy-elated” feeling. A concert venue can be seen as a conduit that allows regular attendees to recognize their peers and friends. This recognition of like-minded individuals appears to foster a sense of belonging that gives fans the feelings that they are “part of and involved with the music,” (Pitts, 2005).
