From up in the second level seats, you could clearly hear when the crowd was singing along and cheering.<br /><br />Having attended other concerts in Houston and Dallas, I will agree that people were a little more reserved and stayed in their seats, but I actually found this refreshing. The folks seated around me were definitely into the show as we heard plenty of commentary between songs and during intermission. It was definitely in my top 5 concert experiences.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03130399038126170642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205669373504703653.post-62321745954261169392010-11-23T17:24:49.322+00:002010-11-23T17:24:49.322+00:00A lot of what i feel at the shows is down to where...A lot of what i feel at the shows is down to where im sat to be honest, but also to what people in other cities have been like and compared to other cities both Houston and Dallas were very, VERY reserved!<br /><br />Im sure there are groups of fans and pockets of people around the aucience that ARE apreciative a lot more than most but in a stadium with nearly 18,000 people you can usually tell what the crowd are like by seeing what the majoriity of people are like.Simon Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09643605405050380869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205669373504703653.post-65087117889845773682010-11-23T17:16:50.650+00:002010-11-23T17:16:50.650+00:00I have to be honest with you, as a huge Roger Wate...I have to be honest with you, as a huge Roger Waters fan and an attendee of the show, I am put off by your trashing of the local audience. <br /><br />The group with whom I attended the show, lifelong and knowledgable Waters fans all, agreed that this differed from a garden variety rock concert in that the presentation and feel were much more theatrical. As such, I though the crowd was appropriately reverent during the performance. By the same token, they weren't lacking at all in exuberance in their expression of appreciation between numbers and when Roger was addressing them directly.<br /><br />Frankly, I'm not sure how you could characterize the cheering as simply a "few appreciative claps and that was it." I think you've missed an opportunity to draw comparisons and contrasts between the different types of crowds you've seen. The Houston audience may have received the show differently than others, but I found the response to be vibrant and enthusiastic and completely different than your characterization.<br /><br />Perhaps Roger makes the comment about "feeling so close to you guys" at every show. But somehow I don't think he'd have said it in Houston if he wasn't feeling it.Mournhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592466386754469836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205669373504703653.post-66268713434801341972010-11-23T03:16:40.968+00:002010-11-23T03:16:40.968+00:00It's really wonderful to know Roger is committ...It's really wonderful to know Roger is committed to making the show the best it can be, that it's a dynamic and evolving situation, like Jon J. said, "a work in progress."<br /><br />And how nice of Kipp to hang out for a bit; you just need a pic with Pat and you'll have a complete Lennon set!<br /><br />Julie :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
