Critic’s notebook: Let’s hope the renovation of the Los Angeles Forum brings a better concert experience in the digital age — paying attention to the music, not chatting, taking photos and recording videos.
A stage, a sound system, musicians and a crowd. That’s all you really need to put on a concert. Everything else — $12 beer, nachos, jumbo video screens, light show, 3-D glasses, VIP meet-and-greets, merch, vapor pen for your “medical marijuana” — is gravy. Even the $75-million renovation of the Los Angeles Forum isn’t going to guarantee a good show.
