Concert or gig?

Okay your going to an intimate show, by a really decent band...

Would you automatically call it a...

 

Depends on the size of the venue probably. I usually visit small events so my natural expression is "a gig".

 

Gig for some pub group etc..

Concert for some fookin A Rock in some arena.. *head bangs*

 

gig is the shorter word so i use that

 

i have a friend and he calls when his band played, a "concerts" when they were in tiny venu... it really gets on my nerves and kept correcting him, its a "gig" unless its like a staduim fula people!
Argh!

 

ditto

 

It's a gig when YOU are playing in it. Concert when you're going to see someone else.

 

A concert is something a 12 year old goes too, someone like robbie williams or the back street boyz.

A gig is where they actually play their own instruments & write their own songs
& play LIVE.
