I've sworn off big arena shows as well, basically anything with capacity for more than 500 people. I find smaller shows to be much more enjoyable, especially from the perspective of a fan, who actually wants to hear the music and have a reasonable chance of actually seeing the artists.

I run a local blog in my small town, and we have a C-list Nashville singer that grew up here. Occasionally they come back to town to do smaller shows at the local brewery. Of course I talked about this on my blog and mentioned them on my Insta/Twitter/Facebook, and during an intermission in the show the singer came and sat down next to me and said "hey you're the guy from [blog name] right?" and we had an actual conversation about what they miss about living in this small town compared to Nashville. You'd be hard pressed to have that experience at a Taylor Swift concert. And this was a no-cover-charge show.

I still think one of the best concerts I ever saw was STP / Megadeath at the old Fargo Civic Center in the 90’s. Small venue with great sound.

The sound in big arenas is horrible also unless you're in front of the stage. I saw Red Hot Chilli Peppers on their last tour and sat in the upper level. It was just a loud fuzzy noise. You could barely recognize what songs they were playing, and the vocals were totally illegible.
