If this band is still playing in another twenty years, maybe I'll sit down.


which show was that?

New York, the 16th, 2008. The last one I've been to.

On every package of trays there is a comprehensive warning: Traying seriously harms you and is addictive.
But who reads such messages, let alone pays attention, till it's too late?

agreed. i think the fan is what keeps him propped up half the time.

and you can hear that beer tray from a mile away can't you?! i imagine there's gotta be some kind of frontal lobe damage at this point. at the very least, spider's leg must've been calloused over ages ago the way he goes about smacking that tin whistle for hours on end!

Surely. Just cut all the cables in the venue... ;)

Leave light cables alone or they will see nothing anyway ;)

Just don't try blowing up the sound desk by throwing beer into it...

i totally agree with everyone. half of the fun of live, high energy gigs resides in the chance encounters and comradery created when you're allowed to roam from one side of the room to the other. you get to meet more people and share more smiles. :D

Frankly, i'm surprised most venues don't incoporate both sitting & standing better. I mean, is it too much to think some folks will want to dance like freakish idiots getting electroshock (sorry, maybe that's just my personal style) and some would prefer/need to sit?

I sprained my ankle badly when i was 18, and sat for my first time for a non-stadium gig (Concrete Blonde, at the Concert Hall aka Masonic Temple in Toronto, who have a large floor and a lovely 3-sided balcony with benches) and was amazed at the difference. Nowadays i generally split my wild dancing with some serious watching, and enjoy both greatly. But it's amazing how many venues can't sort it out.

Any memories Monsieur Chevron or is my brother spinning me fables as point scoring as i was too young to attend!???


That´s pretty much my recollection of it as well.
