while we did sit a lot, i just HAD to be dancing anytime there was a groove. for second set we moved behind one of the projector tower things but way low in the section so we could see through it. it was PERFECT and apparently not many people realized you could SEE THROUGH the bottoms of the towers so we had nobody behind us for like 10+ rows (and even then they were sporatic) it was great....they were the comfortable-er seats to (not that anything at fenway is actually comfy)....
i realized not many people were rage dancing but i just had to! haha and i also appreciated being able to sit and really space out when that was appropriate
Holy Flurking Shnit. The Wall.

two years ago (the last tour?), i was mesmerized by the show and the mind boggling state of the art production standards. i heard there were roughly 66 tractor trailers and 300+ roadies on that tour. i can't imagine the prep that goes into the stadium shows this time around.

It's like I'm in a life-long ongoing war with the "Sit-down people." I'll comply only if it's absolutely unanimous around me, otherwise I encourage everyone around me to rock out until the movement gradually grows big enough to be unstoppable. You people really fucking suck at life!

It was ALL "that" section....I was, not literally but almost, the only person standing in a 8 section radius.
Remember that Allman bros show? That dude tried to kill me. I guess telling a 7 foot biker giant to go fuck himself was the wrong thing to say.

This is happening more and more frequently.
Guess I expect it for something like Bonnie Raitt - at one point I was literally the only one in the place up and dancing.
But sitting for The Beach Boys rocking it out and The Allmans is just plain wierd.

And you KNOW that 10-20 years ago those very same complaining people were up and raging the whole show.

i stand and sit alternately during shows. i attend with the general expectation and acceptance that people will be standing and, should i choose to sit, my view and sound quality will likely diminish.It's like I'm in a life-long ongoing war with the "Sit-down people." I'll comply only if it's absolutely unanimous around me, otherwise I encourage everyone around me to rock out until the movement gradually grows big enough to be unstoppable. You people really fucking suck at life!

there *might* have been a better way to address the issue given the circumstances.

amen! haha
not sure ive ever even said amen before, but i kinda like that it was to you! (and about this!)
this happens to me at martin sexton concerts, ani difranco concerts (unless you're in a standing only section), bruce hornsby.....the absolute worst is when i actually have GOOD seats. do i sit in the third row cuz its a great seat, or move back to dance. (always end up choosing the latter)
there were a lot of sections standing, there were a few (3-4-5ish for sure) that were not. not sure what was happening "upstairs"

Ain't it the truth.
I'm seriously considering a new ticket buying strategy.
Go for the last row instead of the front.

We think about that kind of thing when buying tickets.....got David Byrne tickets the other day and I was psyched to realize that behind us is a staircase, and no one to bitch if we want to dance. YAY!

You always have a choice. I just prefer not being the target of people's ire.
It is THE WORST at the Allman Brothers. People get up and dance for Revival or whatever, but insist that they can tell you to sit down during Liz Reed because THEY do not want to dance at that particular time. FUUUUUUUCK YOU!

i'm late to this thread but i saw the wall in albany two weeks ago and was blown away by the performance. absolutely riveting and worth the $100.
some girl claimed after the show that roger waters lip synced some of the songs but i don't believe her.

the obstructed views at fenway weren't bad at all if you are concerned about your funds. they were "sold out" of them weeks before the show but they had an abundance of them at the box office day of.
they were behind the scaffolding that held the projectors, and if you got close enough you were just looking through the bottom of the scaffolding (which is basically see through).....we ended up sitting there ourselves. not sure if its different sitch at non baseball fields
(and im not sure if your shows is a bball field or not)
