I see lots of people wear ear plugs at gigs. and have been told it actually

makes it sound better.

But for me it's like putting a blind fold on in a strip club.

any truth to this?
Also I see the band wearing earplugs too. Now this makes sense as they are exposed to this on a daily basis. However when somebody sings with headphones on they usually sound out of tune. How do they adjust to this?

The closest I got was when I saw Shanks and Bigfoot singing in a Brentwood nightclub

there like a plank. I observe the musicians as Ashberto told me to do.

I always like to find a wall or something I can lean on.

I have tried both. Leaping about is more fun.

Especially the stadium/festival end of the market. The music is generally ****e, in comparison to the actual recordings anyway, and the modern gig experience is not only expensive but it's entirely soul destroying.

I think 200 people is about the upper limit of what's actually enjoyable, unless you're in a fantastic venue like the astoria or the palace, which dont hold a great deal more anyway.

He is sooooooo good live that the albums actually suffer a little in comparison. You become a little deflated by the albums and before long only the live experience will do.

That is how people end up seeing him 90 times.

I dont think there are any rules on live shows. Some bands are great live, some are ****e. Stick a good one anywhere and they will put on a show.

Have people pushing and shoving into you, then a 2 mile queue at the bar or the bogs, when you could sit at home and pop the CD on

[Pat Vegas]

they are playing. You can't judge the first time you hear something if you like it properly.

[Pat Vegas]

Get on with it.

If the doors open at 7pm and they don't go on until 10 I am way pas any interest by then.

And for the big gigs it's a whole day affair. I think I was at the emirates for about 12 hours for this Green day concert.

I've been to a few famous, renowned gigs. I swear I mustve been watching a different show

The Cure, for instance, were one of the most intensely dull acts I've ever had the misfortune of seeing, even despite the fact I was utterly destroyed.

That said, the ratio is usually fairly accurate.

That said, I also saw god, yaweh, buddah and vishnu that night and ended up naked in the christian tent so my cognitive faculties may have been slightly impaired at certain points.

[IUFG]

Beastie Boys there too?

[Classic Jorge]

I remember being a bit upset they didnt play Little Fluffy Clouds though.

The Orb's Little Fluffy Clouds, mind

[IUFG]

The Orb that is
