to stand the whole time may have been more inclined to react negatively to a
lengthy opening act. Just a thought.<<

while the face value of the San Francisco tickets was under $30.00,  i had
friends who paid upwards of $125.00 to get in.   Scalpers were very scarce on
the street the night of the show.   all the shows had dance floors in front
of the stage without seats.   The house of blues did have some seats around
the parimeter of the dance floor,  but those were reserved for v.i.p.s.
   any sitting down was the crossed-legged-on-the-floor variety
and wasn't observed during Pete's sets.    BTW,  the lengthy opening set by
bob mould was just under 40 minutes,  hardly a marathon....

nah Paul,  the fillmore was about as crowded as the supper club,  the fans at
the fillmore were just more thoughtful, that's all...
