I went to see Dr.John the first weekend.Had to stand beyond the intersection because of all of the chairs.I could not hear the band at that distance!Tried to get closer,and I did get close enough to actually hear what was being played.The combination of a lack of volume(which has never been a problem in years past),and a passive ,complacent ,all too comfortable,audience,made for a bummer of a show.It is supposed to be FUN! Get up and shake that thang!Spill some beer,its a concert for cryin out loud.I'm old and slow,but I'll party as long as I am able.Guess it won't be here anymore!
