happiness is an internal response to an external stimulus. as such, it is fleeting. one must continuously receive the appropriate external stimulus to keep it going, often in increasing quantities/qualities much like a chemical addiction. what should be focused on and cultivated is the internal state of joy that exists independent of external stimuli.
as for concerts, i've only been to a few. they generally do not interest me as they are so commercial and packed with so many people, which may be a pro to some. there is something to be said for a live performance, however. the emotion and energy can be received from the performer in a much purer state as opposed to recorded media, but this requires them to actually be playing instruments and actually singing. too much of the pushed trash is just lip syncing and air-playing.
