I hear ya, SuchFriendsetc... It's why I long ago gave up trying to go to big gigs. I prefer small venues, regional good bands, where there's room to walk around and even sidle up to a bar now and then. Big concerts are, well, too big... too many people, too expensive, too hard to get into, and generally, too hyped. Not fun. I'd rather spend the money on the albums. At least that way you have something more lasting, and for far less coin.
