| Comment | Just to balance all the depressing stories in here, I went to see Anamanaguchi in King Tut's and I was amazed. 100+ super nerdy and socially anxious kids bouncing up and down and having a polite raucous time.
Highlight was when the band's colour changing lights tipped over and the crowd grabbed them - not only did they just politely pass it around a lap of the crowd and then gently place it back on the stage, they even made sure the cable was held up the whole time and didn't get tugged on or tangled.
Love a good nerd gig.
Also went to see Ben Folds at the amphitheatre a couple years back, and there were a couple lassies at the front who clearly didn't know Ben's solo stuff and were there expecting a Ben Folds Five style gig. They weren't that loud but kept trying to start people dancing and stuff. Ben clocked them half way through and had some banter with them, then tried to accommodate them by covering "Great Balls of Fire" but forgot the words! It was a good night all round. |
