The world has changed drastically over the years. From evolving trends to advancing technology, things look different now. The vibes are different now, too. Things felt a bit more chill back then. One thing that hasn't changed, though, is the public's love for music, artists, and live concerts and festivals. Back in the day, concerts were just as fun as they are now, if not more so.

People love going to concerts; they always have and hopefully always will. While people still enjoy going to concerts, indoors and outdoors, festivals and tours, the appearance of these performances has changed. Not only have the artists themselves changed, but the way the shows look, how people arrive, and so much more have evolved.

Every concert-goer in the modern era has some jealousy for the people who got to see classic concerts of the past. This is for a good reason, too; concerts looked pretty cool back then. For some real nostalgia from the past, here are 25 photos from concerts and concert culture in the mid and late 1900s.
