In live concerts, singers perform on the stage, and spectators reach the venue and enjoy the performance by standing in front of the stage. People dance together and have fun. On the other side, online concerts are watched on computers and televisions. People can sit with family, or they can watch it alone. I think watching online concerts watching alone is boring.
