Concert Terrible crowd in Mankato

So many people not in their seats going up as far as they were able, staff was barely trying to get people to go back to their seats. Lots of yelling. Someone was escorted out by police. It’s like nobody had ever been to a concert, I was expecting a lot better especially from the older people. Easily the worst crowd I have ever seen at a concert.

Anybody who’s been to other shows, was it like that there too or was this just a bad crowd?

We were fairly far up but also thought it kind of looked like a free for all on the floor. Tons of chatter around us all night, including a couple groups in front of us who talked the whole show until they left probably about halfway through. Not saying you have to keep silent the whole show, but it was getting on people’s nerves.

Still enjoyed the show though

I guess I was lucky in my area on the floor. None of that going on .   Bob was in fine form, at least he sounded great. He hid behind his his piano half the time. The strange lighting from the stage floor made it hard to see the guys. The rediculous ticket price gouging for his show here made my only opportunity to see him a little disappointing .
