I always hang near the sound board at concerts. It’s the best sound. I want to be hearing exactly what the sound engineer is hearing. (I realize this is a little geeky, but I used to work for a sound board manufacturer, once upon a time.)
The sound board! Oh, how I miss you, soundboard. I used to spend a lot more time enjoying live music, but then, I used to have a lot fewer (as in no) young children. Wait for me, soundboard! I will find you again!
You mean hanging near the sound guy? I second that. On some shows at least.
Just returned from a Pearl Jam show in London, first time ever that we had seats (we didn’t use, of course, but as I’m growing older, the idea of sitting grows on me), not too far from the FOH stuff.
Those seats were given in order of seniority (what a word – aging in it once more!) to the fan club – first row. I seem to become a senior in more that one way now, being 34.

I would frame this and hang it in my… somewhere. I LOVE this photo.
