What’s the biggest show you’ve ever seen?
That’s easy. You just think of the biggest venue you’ve seen live music at and say the name of the band you saw.
What’s the best show you’ve ever seen?
Way harder. Best is nuanced. Best has to do with the vibe, the people, the connection, the way the singer moved, the flow of the show, surprises, the excitement.
We know that biggest and best don’t necessarily go together.
Biggest is quantifiable so it’s easy to chase.
Best comes from getting better and better, no rules, no numbers, no map. No numbers to point to.
So with no easy definition we revert to bigger and best being the same thing.
