Context?Does anyone else think the whole "festival" type of concert is a bad idea? I always have.
Yes. Now anyway i guess. Too many people seem to have lost common sense and decency. Having not read the whole story, what's the purpose of shoving your way to the front of such a large gathering? Now all the law suits will be coming against anyone and every one they can think of. There's no personal responsibility any more. Always someone else's fault, up to and including the president of The United States.Does anyone else think the whole "festival" type of concert is a bad idea? I always have.
Reference the Astroworld concert where several people were hurt and a few died from a crowd surge.Context?
Last time I went to a concert was ZZ, back in 70's. I went with a few young people who had never been to one. "festival Seating" they called it. Meaning no reserved seating. They had 10K seats and sold 11K tickets. We got there early, I sat us way up in the back. Standing behind us for all those with no seats. The guys I was with at first wanted to move down close. I said wait. After things started I kept pointing out sparklers and bottles that were being tossed down there. Said you want to be sitting where those land? We enjoyed the music just fine. When it was over those guys jumped up to go. I sat them back down to wait. We still ended up in the tail end of the human crush. Several went to the hospital that night. Fun as it was it was also the last time I went to one.Does anyone else think the whole "festival" type of concert is a bad idea? I always have.
Awesome Bladerunner reference. I quote that line all the time. Mostly over the head it goes."I've seen things you people wouldn't believe..."
Not attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, but did see a glass door shatter as a guy was pushed though it at a festival seating concert.
