This past Tuesday night, I got to see the amazing Christian hard-rock band Skillet in concert at the House of Blues at Disney Springs in Orlando. This was my first time seeing Skillet live despite the fact they have been around for 30 years.
The House of Blues in Orlando is a small resaturant/night-club that features a very intimate indoor concert venue seating around 2500 people, and is well-known for bringing top musical acts to town. It's a great place for music fans to get up and close with their favorite acts.
Besides the overall amazing talent of the band and hard style of play, my favorite part of the entire show was watching the drummer, Jen Ledger, absolutely kill it for over 2 hours. Not only the band's drummer, but Jen is also a co-vocalist in the band and sang many of their songs. The energy she brought to the show was just incredible.
I usually don't pay much attention to drummers at concerts, but she definitely stole the show with her energy, enthusiasm and vocals. I found myself spending the entire show just watching her work her magic on the drums.
When you watch concerts live, do you tend to focus on one aspect of the band, or do you bounce around from member to member watching them do their stuff?

My attention tends to wander when I watch a show. Although, drummers do tend to have a flare that kind of invites your attention.

I think I always pay attention to everyone. I haven’t been to a concert in years though.

I would mostly watch them all but often an individual will stand out and like you, I'd focus on them.
By the way, When you said 'intimate venue', I was thinking 20 to 30 people.
