I work with Python for a living. Once upon a time I worked with Perl for a living. And I've seen a fair bit of Ruby.
And in my experience, you're simply wrong; aside from toy programs written for golfing or obfuscation contests, there really doesn't seem to be a significant difference, and many of the "concise" features of, say, Perl tend to be frowned on for real-world use because of the impact they have on the ability of others to read, understand and maintain the code.
As for Lisp, well, "concise" Lisp programs tend to remind me of stuff that comes out of the demoscene, where the headline is "look at this awesome demo in 4k!" but it actually relies on hundreds of megabytes' worth of graphics APIs. Lisp seems to be the same way: for every short piece of amazing Lisp code, there seems to be a corresponding huge chunk of functions and macros backing it.
