Where's the best place to sit at the venue?
My opinion, the best place to sit for this rock show is about eight rows up on this aisle on the sides. When you are sitting, you are getting a left and right image of the PA because we do a left, right, left, right. So this main cluster is getting a left. The offstage is getting the right side. So you're getting the full stereo imagery, sitting here. You're up off the floor, so you can see down onto the stage. You can see all the show elements I think if you're going to be on the floor, about ten rows back is the spot to be for, for audio. Unfortunately we're a, we're a fully seated floor, so if you're not a tall person, by the time you get ten rows back you really can't see that much.
