Rockkoncerten

The article deals with the rockconcert and the rockculture as a historie and contemporary phenomenia. In the light of the contrast between technology and rockmusic it explains how the rockconcert offers faces and bodies in a generally anonymous world and how technology defeats this anonymity again and again. The development of the rockconcert is seen in generel as a continous line in which each period has its own characteristics: 50's and 60's rockconcerts are considered fields of social authenticity, 70's performance-concerts are seen as culturel/reflecsive authentucity and 90's raves as subjective authenticity.Artiklen tager udgangspunkt i modsætningen mellem teknologi/teknik og musik og redegør for, hvordan rockkoncerten i sin klassiske form tilbyder sit publikum nærvær og via sine ritualer spiller på en før-teknologisk bevidsthed (autenticitet). Dernæst gennemgås rockkoncertens udvikling fra sportsagtig begivenhed over en kollektiv masseoplevelse i 60' erne, performanceagtige quasi-kulturelleforestillinger i 70' erne og 80' erne til mere subjektiverede oplevelsesformer i 90' erne
