The concerts I do are transcendent in nature, as is all music that involves an authentic exchange with the audience. Sometimes I think that music is the only place left, outside of religion, where we can have a legitimate transcendent experience. And if you go to a concert and are genuinely swept up by it, it makes you a better person.
