Would you take a two year old to see The Wall Live in concert?
Please give reason why you would or would not. Thanks.

Let's assume the child will be wearing ear protection, and would be removed from the seating area if he is disruptive to other concert goers or obviously not having a good time.

1. Because you're going to spend a shitload of money on a concert they won't remember
and they'll end up ruining your concert experience.

I don't think the venue will let the child into the stadium for free. So instead of paying all that money for a concert, I'd use it for baby sitting.

Remember if the child is disruptive to other concert goers - you or your partner will be the one that has to leave.

My best friend's oldest daughter started attending concerts when she was 6-7 years old. Mind you she was started on smaller events where there was a safe place for the child to sit/sleep should the kid get bored. But she loved going to those concerts. Most of the concerts were relatively inexpensive too. It was her aunt that would take her to concerts - the aunt was a big fan of The Doors even without lead singer Jim Morrison. (seems they tour alot without Jim but not much of a fan base left).

A two year old just doesn't have the capacity to know what's happening or remember being there - so is it worth spending all the money?

4. Probably not
Two is probably too young for enduring a full-length production.

6. no - too intense
too stimulating/loud for child, child is a hindrance to whoever has to watch/carry and a possible annoyance to others

just seems like a huge pain in the ass for all concerned, why would someone contemplate this?

7. On second thought No too loud. No one under I'd say 14 maybe 12 years old.

9. No. Too loud, for starters, and the child probably would not have a good time.
I'm also going to guess that the adults would have a better time at the concert without having to supervise the child.

10. No. I would want to enjoy the concert without the concerns. The child will not
appreciate the experience and would hinder mine.

15. Only if you get them really high first.
I think that's a prerequisite for anybody for enjoying The Wall.

16. A concert is a dangerous environment.
Not a chance I'm bringing a baby.
