My sister went to a Paul McCartney concert at their Millenium Stadium. She had unfortunately hurt her back so when those in neighbouring seats tried to pull her up to join in the swaying and dancing she reluctantly had to decline for fear of the pain in her back. She said everyone was dancing and enjoying themselves, the atmoshere was electric and she found the same atan Abba tribute concert in Wolverhampton.

We used to go to the comedy club at the Music Hall but I got the impression that attending such events would be better elsewhere as at live events, audience participation can be a make or break as to the enjoyment obtained.

Personally, being in the third row we were invited to the front to dance and were able lose ourselves in the moment anyway, so I was well satisfied with my £75 worth of Elton and the thrill of actually doing something so memorable in Shrewsbury.

I can see both side of the “argument” here. Personally, I hate sitting in a concert when the artist is performing an uptempo number, but I have no problem in sitting for slow songs. However, whether I sit or stand does very much depend on the concert/artist.

Whether you are seated or standing at a concert, you can still have your view obstructed by someone in front, be they tall, fat, or just wearing a stupid hat or bunny ears!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Elton John concert, despite not being allowed to stand up and dance until the latter stages of the show. However, the most annoying thing was the sheer numbers of people going to the bar, coming back loaded with alochol and then going back for refills time and again.

I have no problem with people drinking alcohol at concerts, but I just don’t see the point in missing huge chunks of the show you’ve paid lots of money to see just to queue at the bar. Concert tickets are so expensive, there’s no way I’d miss any of it just to go and buy drinks.
