WORD! When Isolee came to town a few weeks ago, he came on to almost no audience reaction at all and everyone around me was yammering away at the top of their voices. I felt like shouting at the crowd "Everyone, please shut up!" so I could actually hear what was happening (it was an amazing live set). Then someone had the temerity to stand IN FRONT of isolee on the stage and have a conversation with his girlfriend, right in the middle of the live set. Luckily I calmed down enough to just ask him politely to please step aside (not what I originally had in mind).
I guess it's a bit rich to expect everyone to be quiet at a club, I mean everyone has the right to conversation, but sometimes it really detracts from the moment when you can hear music AND a bazillion conversations. -Dave ps To those who think I am being snobbish or whatever, just think of this: These people have flown thousands of kilometers (probably) and gone to a lot of effort to put on a show. The promoters have forked out a fair bit to get it all together. Each person there has paid X dollars, presumably for some fun and hopefully (but not necessarily) because they want to see what these guys have to offer. --- Mxyzptlk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > perspective.
