   I have been going to Dead concerts for 7 years, and have never sat down
except when my legs were tired. 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.
