Crowd a bit dead in Madrid?
Did anyone else find the crowd a bit mild in Madrid? I'm not Spanish, normally I see gigs in Ireland.
I got seated tickets because I'm short af and I genuinely presumed fans would stand for high tempo songs as is normal at rock concerts....like it's not the Opera. There is an area for people with disabilities.
Some areas were standing but mine didn't, also everyone was like static in their seats not singing or anything, it was quite uncomfortable as we had to sit looking forward but strain our necks to the left to see the stage. The girl behind me was eating a large bucket of popcorn like she was at the cinema?
It was the strangest crowd/energy that I've ever experienced.
Is this a Madrid thing or a Placebo thing?
Placebo were great but we couldn't take it any more and left our seat to go higher up the arena where we found a small space between seats where other people were up dancing.
I've learnt my lesson but did anyone else think the crowd was a bit flat?
EDIT: to clarify we remained seated in our area. We did not stand and block anyone. We moved to an area with a wall behind us so we could stand. But also like guys...it's a rock concert why would you wanted to be sitting if you're able bodied?
