And Jeff's over on Mike's side as well...

Murderers.

In the middle is surely the best place!

Mike's side. No contest. Middle can be quite tough because that's where everyone pushes in towards. Stone's side is a bit of a snooze compared to the awesomeness that is Jeff & Mike's.

But this is in the US, so it's generally seated.

Oh really, so you guys have to do seated festivals too eh?

PJ_Lukin

Mikes side. He interacts with the audience WAY more then semi stoic Stone.

He also throws out a lot of pics.

Blind3

Either side as long as it's with fellow 10C nutters.

I doubt it, but I'm from the UK anyways so I'm not 100% sure. Standing is better, imo.

overstand

I have watched Mike at shows and pretty much find that you can watch him play and be entertained the entire time. He is such a great musician and performer...particularly when he's appears to be in a good mood.

nowayimfaithfull

I usually like mikes side.

PineappleAna

my vote is for just being in the building

kj1nyr

Definitely Mike's side. He's a show all by himself and yes, he throws out a LOT of pics.

stoneg

Stone is the Man.But I sat 4th row Mike's side in 2003 in Tampa and boy he is crazy!!! And I got a pick.

bettermanofthehour

i was within a couple of rows on Mike's side in Grand Rapids. He puts on a pretty good show himself.

bigeye21

Another vote for Mike's side. Lot's of energy and audience interaction. He is quite the entertainer and fun to watch.

not for festivals.
the OP asked about bonnaroo...that will be standing.

and, even at our "seated" gig....NO one sits! no worries about being crushed tho. haha. however, i think the *energy* given out by mike, and mike and jeff collectively....soooooooooooo good! i've been on stone's side, and yes he is wonderful, but he does not really interact. that's all. ahhhhhhhhh...someday to be in front of ed. *drifts off in thought*

exactly, guitar picks galore....

I was on Stone's side for Lollapalooza and although it was great to see him upclose, because of the sound I missed basically every detail from Mike's solos. So I would suggest Mike's side or in the middle to get a blend.

At the seated gigs then, do you have a lot of personal space to stand in? Couldn't people just walk right to the front?

you have a decent amount of personal space, but it is all delineated by the seats. besides which, there is security, so no....you cannot walk to the front. sure, perhaps there are some who may sneak by, etc....although doubtful. also, for front row, even at seated gig, they get wristbands, so more than likely...would never make it to the front w/o it. overall, the seats manily act as parameters to keep the crowds seperate and uncrushed.

Ahh, okay. The only thing I don't like about the seating idea is that your seats depend on your 10C number. But I suppose they do the random draw thing now, so anybody could end up at the front.
