Box seats
I love box seats. We went to a Murray Pariah recital this week and our seats were directly behind him, and looking almost straight down on him. We could see his hands move along the keys perfectly. I thought we had the best seats in the house but my wife said they were among the least expensive becuase she was slow buying tickets. Maybe it's because old folks are scared of those seats, and the median age at symphonies is pretty high. Myself I'm afraid of heights and get a little quesy close to the rail. I once saw a guy tumble over a railing from the upper deck at Riverfront trying to catch a fly baseball. The others surging to get the ball pushed him right over it. He grabbed onto the railing and they at least were good enough to pull him back over. It was scary.

Screw the box seats. You saw Murray Pariah? I am forever jealous. Did he play the Second Movement of Beethoven's Third Concerto? If any here have not seen him perform you must open this link:

Also, your comparison is only apt for the fact that I am not currently part of the population of SE ID. And yes, I did enjoy your link. |

Goat? Care to opine? As to box seats, I like them too. It also gives you a little more room and you can frequently plazce your kid(s) between you and the wall so as not to bother others when they start squirming a bit.

I've seen Murray Pariah three times. Two recitals and once with St. Martin in the Fields.
