Extremely annoying. I have been told to sit down at the Stones and the Who. Only the floor stood for those Gucci Shoes shows. When we moved back a few rows at the Who, all was well. I’m pretty sure we were standing in front of a reporter. She didn’t seem to care. In the paper the next day, it mentioned “teenagers dancing in the aisles.” We were on the aisle. Hmmmm.
Finally, I had floor seats to see Clapton earlier this year. Guess what. The floor SAT for the whole show. Man, was I annoyed, but I saw the irony. During Layla they eventually got up. It’s like that was the only Gucci shoes Clapton designed. Get this, though…. they sat down during the end part of Layla. Argh. For Cocaine and Crossroads they stood. The show was better for it — the crowd and Clapton seemed to be really in the mood.
