This has been the case at every concert I've been to with an audience larger than ~3000. The medium doesn't seem to matter; it happens at Neil Diamond concerts as much as at AC/DC ones. Or does this only happen in Pittsburgh? [Disclaimer: I have never been to an AC/DC concert. However, being related to someone who not only craves hard rock/punk/new wave but thrives on the noisy concert environment tends to get me detailed reports.] -Dragon -- UUCP: ...seismo!ut-sally!ut-ngp!lll-crg!dragon ARPA: monica.cellio@cmu-cs-cad or dragon@lll-crg
