Unfortunately a lot of other people didn't seem to know what it was.
I don't like Giants for this reason. It is just too big and the sound can get lost. I was under the overhang too, and that didn't help much. MSG is still the best place to see a show, although try telling that to BJ! I know Giants has a certain aura around it but, I prefer an arena over a stadium. Sound wise anyway.

Well at Hartford I was up front with the fanclub so everyone around me was excited to hear Living In Sin. However, I looked back a few times at people in the other sections and many of them were sitting down, looking bored.
It got a much better reaction at Giants though.

Umm - you got me? But I have to say I've seen quite a few shows this year and I have seen many people (mostly guys) look bored out of their minds. Their wives or girlfriends must have dragged them to a concert they didn't want to be at. Some of them didn't move a muscle - tap their feet - NOTHING. My opinion is you gotta be dead not to enjoy at least some of it, if not all of it.

Totally agree. There must be a screw lose in their head or something because the atmosphere and the music at live events makes you scream when richie pulls off a fantastic solo, or when Jon hits a really big note that sends shivers down your spine, its so good.

I've often wondered that myself. Last time I saw them in Atlanta, the people in front of me sat the entire show. Never stood up once. Then, they left early. Why waste your money?

I prefered it at Hartford. I guess coz it was the first time in a long time that they have played it. Also, it was largely thanks to Deb308 and her pals who had banners asking for the song to be played!
Way to go Deb!!

Its stupid, you may of had a situation where someone really wanted to go to a concert, but couldnt because all the idiots who are bored and couldnt give a monkeys about the concerts, take the seats. I think i would be physically sick.
