It’s ok. We’re way up the back in seats. I’m way way too old for the mosh pit.
I don't believe I've ever seen a mosh pit at a large concert like that. For all the large-venue concerts I've been to (e.g., Giants Stadium, the Canadian National Exhibition center, the Syracuse Carrier Dome) seats were carefully assigned and you were not allowed to venture out of your assigned section.
I did see the Violent Femmes at a smaller venue in Missouri in the early 90s, and people were slam dancing in front of the stage, but my ex and I stayed safely out of the way on a balcony. (He's never been a jump-around-and-get-wild kinda guy. Too bad.) We could still see great because the club was small.
It’s funny how bands fans now have collective names. The Victims, Beliebers, Sheerios. I know the grateful dead fans were called Deadheads but aside from them did bands in the sixties and seventies have names for fans? I can’t recall. What would have been good band fan names for classic bands? Maybe needs a thread for suggestions.
I hadn't heard of Sheerios.
I can add another to that list: Swifties. And in the ocean liner world people who insist Capt. Lord of the
Californian did nothing wrong are called Lordites. (I can bring ocean liners or Twilight Zone into just about any conversation.
)
That would indeed make an interesting thread.
Andrea Bocelli will be great. He’s got a lovely voice
His version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah brings me to tears. I can't wait! The usual options up here are generally limited to rodeos (which I do genuinely like), tractor pulls, mud bogs (don't ask!), and monster truck events.
