Where have *you* been? Why would *anyone* want to sit down at a Dead concert, unless they didn't belong there in the first place? I don't think that people standing the whole time is at all typical of rock concerts. That's one reason why I like to go to Dead concerts so much. The crowd is really *into* it. What bands have you been seeing? I'd like to go to some of their shows too, they must be hot. If you want to sit down, stay home. I like to dance. --Greg -- {ucbvax!hplabs | allegra!nbires | decvax!stcvax | harpo!seismo | ihnp4!stcvax} !hao!woods "...once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right..."
