Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently built from 'real' (genuine, actual) + 'live' (performed in person / happening now) + 'concert' (music performance); together they clearly signal an in-person event as opposed to a recorded or virtual one. This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows normal English adjective+noun combination, so a B1 learner who knows the words will readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Real live concert comes from the need to say the show is happening right then in front of people, not a recording or online event. Here live gives the image of music played 'in the moment' and real shows it is truly 'in-person', so the phrase means an actual, in-person musical performance.
