Let's play "Who is the bigger bee hole?"

Jun 27, 2022, 11:20 AM

I know this may conjure some early August style mange talk, but it must be risked.

So the aforementioned Dwight Yoakam show was a the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium, a place with seats. Pleases with seats always cause problems at concerts. Most folks were sitting by the 3rd song, my crew begrudgingly joined in. Three were a handful of people a few rows in front of us that elected to stand, ####### move once all those in front of them had sat.

Probably the same number of rows behind us were people who eventually started to yell "Sit Down," after every song. Then Dwight breaks into a story and they really turn up the yelling, making it so people could not hear the story.

So, who is the bigger ###? Those standing, preventing somebody from seeing the stage OR those yelling and preventing parts of the show from being heard?

If you're near the stage, expect to stand, seats provided or not. If you're on the floor, expect the person in front of you to stand. Heck if it's a good band, expect person in front of you to stand in his chair. Respect the artist, don't sit there. They WANT you to stand and be involved.

In a small bar with tables maybe that's an exception. If the audience standing and being into the music offends you, seems you really don't want to be there that much.

Seats are for the drunks and disinterested to go hang out in the upper deck or way in the back. Or grassy areas at amphitheaters.

Now, this is for a concert where ENERGY is present and important to the atmosphere of the show.
I don't go to many classical music concerts or recitals, I'm sure protocol is probably different for those.
