“With the lights out, it’s a stage rush”
I was listening to “Smells Like Teen Spirit” with Elijah this morning and had to tell him about how when I was a kid going to arena concerts with open floors, they’d make you sit on the floor back a ways from the stage. And you waited and waited for the lights to go out, which meant the show was starting. And it was a mad rush to the stage to try to get a front spot.
Do they still do that?
They did when I was in high school, but it’s been a while. It sure got everyone pumped and got the excitement going. Funny how I never worried about getting trampled to death until I grew up…
