To hell with seniority & random 1-2, 9-10 seating

If they really want to give each fan the front-row experience, they need to learn from U2 3D.
I just got back from seeing this in an IMAX theater and it was fucking amazing. Better than any U2 concert I've even been to in person because they play such huge venues and I've never had good seats.
Who else has seen this? Whether you're a U2 fan or not, you should check it out. The camera work is jaw dropping. Despite the fact that U2 always brings an insane amount of energy and the fans are just incredible, you feel very much a part of the show, right there in front. Several times I really felt like I was at a show, with people's arms in the air in front of me, jumping, bouncing, singing....simply amazing. To top it off the footage was from Argentina and as anyone who's seen any South American concert knows, the crowds are about fifty million times better than anywhere in the states.
Yet I couldn't help but think how much MORE amazing it would be if it were Pearl Jam. Is it "selling out" to make such an amazing film? I don't think so. It gave me and millions of other fans the front row experience that I'll never have with U2, and most of them won't either.
Come on you pussies, let's see PJ 3D.

I don't care if I'm in the first row or at the very back of the arena, I'd rather be AT a show a million times more than watching a show on the big screen.
Very simply, it's the shared moment -- the living, breathing, anything-can-happen-next moment -- that one experiences with the band and the other fans during a live show that is incomparable to sitting in a theater and watching something that has already happened.
It's my personal opinion, of course, but I wouldn't change a single one of my live Pearl Jam experiences for the greatest Pearl Jam show ever...on a screen.

seriously, I can only seat through about 1/2 hour then my mind starts to wander.. (and yes I do know the irony of me torrenting about a 100 of them..but I have watched less than 10.. some people want them though so..)
I don't think 3D would make a jot of difference.
btw, how come the op didn't get to see U2 close? they're doing GA shows even in the US no? (it was GA hawaii, so I assume)..then all you have to do is put in the effort! ( and I was front row the only U2 show I attended..back in 89 when they were still good..)
I thought the world...Turns out the world thought me
this might be the corniest thing i ever read in my life.

Art changes people. People change the world.
why does seat location have so much control over your shows
1 I look foward to just knowing the shows are comming
2 I look foward to the atmosphere in general
3 its 100 percent music for me, i have a great time in any seat.
no more shows
I can tell you from personal experience that seeing PJ in a movie theater (Immagine in Cornice) was nearly unbearable for me... I could not sit still and keep quiet
Happy birthday!
What the fuck are you talking about? This thread is not about complaining about 10 club.
I couldn't sit still either....and I wanted to clap and cheer after each song.
I liked that I didn't have to pay $380 to go see it.
U2 is awesome
Seeing U2 live, no matter where your seats are, is better than U2 3D.
