I am a big live music fan and attend a lot of shows. Recently I attending the Jack Johnson show with a few of my friends and we had lawn seats. I bet you the concert was really stinkin' good, but much to my surprise I don't think I actually saw any of it. I was so wrapped up in the "lawn" experience I totally forgot about the stage? I left the concert a little disappointed and felt that I didn't get my money's worth. Was this my fault or the lawn's fault? Of course, most will say it's my fault, i could have hunkered down on my blanket and soaked up the lyrics and jammed to the tunes; but I am blaming the lawn. It's a totally different experience and I believe is more about the people watching, the drinking and chatting than it is about the band on stage. Should we have justed stayed in the parking lot? It would have been more cost effective.
Maybe I should blame Jack. I mean, why couldn't he hold my attention? When we attending Dave Matthews Band last year, I was standing on my tippy toes trying to get a better glimpse from my small patch of grass.
Long story short, I'm out $45 and I can't tell you exactly what Jackiepoo sang to us. Damn it.
Mitch, you were there. What do you think?

I was there and had a great time, except for when people wanted to talk about something other than the show. I tried to save Stephenie from the jibber jabber on several occasions. She did not want to be saved. Jack Johnson had an excellent report with the audience and even went so far as to have a beach ball kicking contest to entertain us.
I believe the lawn is a great way to see a show, one can dance freely with out the restriction of chairs...Survey says YOUR FAULT!
