I don't agree with this statement, as others have mentioned. But even were
it true, how about the fact that "nosebleed" at the opera are still
considered good seats. rock concerts are always in huge stadiums (packed
with 50 000 people--thus reducing the tkt price as well) where only the best
seats can actually see the performer with the naked eye. And I won't even
go into the sound distortion thing.

btw, I have tkts to Barbara Hendricks--*good* seats, for $25. Can't beat
that!
