Why did your radio quit when you changed the battery on your concord?

The new battery was dead.
========================
Another contributor believes that this is
the more likely answer:
The 'newer' car radios, with programmable push buttons ... and other things
where you can set it once and then forget it ... need to constantly connected
to power or else they 'lose their memory'. When they're installed, there's a
wire that stays connected to the battery even when the radio is off and the
ignition key is out.
If you changed out the battery on your car, then there was a time when this
extra power wire to the radio went dead, and the radio lost its memory. You
have to start from the beginning and reprogram everything.

When you replaced car battery and now the radio has quit and the amp lights are flashing?
A lot of radios have anti-theft systems in them. When ever the battery is disconnected or the radio otherwise loses power, a security code must be punched in. If you do not have the security code, take the car to a new car dealership and see if they can get the code from the manufacturer. If you are not the first owner, look in the owners manual and see if they wrote the code there.
