The problem here are not unruly kids only, there are unruly adults and fans of body building! Those scare me! There are always those gloomy individuals at big concerts in summer here, because they're bored. They just go to have a good time, showing their bulging muscles covered in tattoos. They don't care who's playing... There were people like that at the summer Smashing Pumpkins concert I went back in 1998 and there were people like that at The Cure concert 3 years ago. I've never felt as bad at a public event as it happened for the Smashing Pumpkins that time. IThe mistake was being trapped in the first rows, so I could not escape. During the whole time, around three hours, I felt like a punching ball and I fell at least twice risking the massacre. Two of my friends fainted because they got hurt... The other time I could see the Pumpkins was in a more "intimate" atmosphere, and all went well. Same happened for The Cure, with the only difference I refused to be in the first rows and it was safer. So you see... the band doesn't really count. If the concert takes place in a stadium and it's summertime, they will be there! At least Moz will keep them away, since the location is for a small audience only.
