What happened to the "AWESOME" European crowds?

2. All seating venues for rock gigs are virtually non existant in the UK (I reckont he o2 was designed primarilly for pop bands with younger audiences and oldies / reunion acts with older audiences) so when you actually have to go to one, it's a bit strange and you do kind of wonder whether you should stand up or just sit down and watch the show.

I have to admit I was disappointed with The O2 crowd on my night. They were loud but there was an awful lot of people sitting throughout and going for piss breaks. Maybe that's staple for an indoor show, I'm used to going to open air concerts.

I'm proud of myself though, I sang myself horse and made sure I was heard.
