Don't block The Who

We know where Pete stands with watching the show:

TOWNSHEND: I think the way festival seating was blamed (Cincinnati-1979), wholesale, for practically all the problems, was quite a nasty, negative overreaction - because I like festival seating. When I go to a concert I don't want to have to f*cking sit in a numbered seat, and get clobbered over the head every time I stand up. I like to be able to move about, I like to be able to dance if I want to, or go and buy a Coke if I want to, or push my way to the front if I want to or hide in the back if I want to! I also know, from the stage, that you get the best atmosphere with festival seating.
