I was preparing to buy tickets for Morrissey's upcoming Portland area show at Edgefield and I realized to my dismay that this outdoor venue is putting a spendy reserved seating area in between the stage and the poor
proles who will be stuck a ways back behind a fence on the lawn. (Prices in the reserved seating area are almost twice the price of GA.) I've seen Morrissey enough times to know that people in the reserved seating will inevitably crowd the stage leaving an empty area behind them which, if I know Moz, he will encourage his fans to fill while security tries to keep them back behind the fence. I saw something similar happen the last time he played Portland's Arlene Schnitzer concert hall. Moz was trying to get people up next to the stage while security angrily told people back to go back their seats. It was not pretty and it hurt the otherwise great show.
Frankly this looks like enough of a potential bad experience to me for me to think the unthinkable and skip the Edgefield show. -------Sad in Portland.
