Anyway, he told us at the beginning that only the front row could go up and that if anyone tried to move around the sides and get to the front that it should be reported to him or the guys at each end. I wondered if/hoped that that would be enforced and it was.
I would not say that ONLY people in the front row were at the stage, but I think there were only 5-10 extra people there. Only one layer of humans there. No pushing and the other people in rows further back could see the stage if they stood or even if they sat. I thought it worked out nicely.
Now, it may not as been as motivating for the band. They feed off the energy of people at the stage, perhaps. But I don't care about those band members  !

I know I may be in the minority here but I was thinking about that last night. The show was good but I felt it was a bit flat. It didn't have the same energy as the two shows I saw last year and one factor might possibly have been the stage situation.
