So as the band and their fans get older....
...how long until we start seeing the majority of the crowd at live shows stay seated?? I remember going to see The Who about 10 years ago and was pretty shocked to see that most of the crowd sat the whole show. Same with Paul McCartney last month.

Yeah , i'll sit for a song here or there,
but for the most part I'll be standing
& reciprocating the energy the band puts out
for as long as they continue to do so .

I personally don't know how people.can go to a rock show and just sit there; how can one not move their bodies to the music?I guess I've been lucky - I've never been to a rock concert where many people sat in their seats... although I did go to The Killers show last month, and it was pretty spectacular, everyone in the arena was on their feet, except these two weirdos right next to me who just sat there (couldn't even really see since everyone else was up), and didn't move a muscle or stand up or even smile or sing ONCE, and they couldn't have been older than 25. It was strange!
Couldn't agree more! It's beyond me how some people can go to concerts and not move at all. I mean, I understand that some folks can't stand the whole time, but at least TRY and enjoy yourself - getting up and moving is all part of the experience!
Paul McCartney played the Sunday Night in Vancouver. Except for maybe the first 20 or so rows on the floor everyone remained seated. It was a stadium sized venue.
Then the following night Springsteen played the Arena next door. He's 63? The crowd stood, cheered and sang for the whole 3 hours.
McCartney is about 10 years old, and the Beatles predated Springsteen by about 10 years. That's not a big gap in age to me, but the crowds were night and day.
My conclusion. It's up to the audience, how much the music rocks, the size of the venue (how well can you really connect with fans in a venue so big the attendees can't even make out the singer unless there looking at the screen).
I think PJ have many standing up shows ahead of them. They're music and their fans rock too hard to be a sit down show.
To each their own...
People enjoy music in different ways. Sitting does not mean not enjoying themselves. Some may also enjoy 'from within' and not demonstrate it externally (ie bouncing around/moving/dancing). No need to call them weirdos or boo them.
Yeah sorry, that's what I was trying to say - for me, I like to enjoy music by getting up and moving, but I guess that isn't everyone's cup of tea.
