Small vs big shows

I have never to been to a large performance of any type but I feel like I would not fit in very well.  A small venue with one it maybe two bands appeals to me much more. It would be much easier to focus in the music and not the event itself.  I see the appeal of larger events but they definitely a directed toward a set group of people.  Another reason is that I do not like a wide range of music so I could chooses a smaller event with just the music that I like, rather than wander around a park hoping to find a good band.
