Day 7: what? I'm with the band

What is this?

This is me taking photos of the floor in a live house during a show. The band playing on the stage you don't see are former students of mine and I readily admit... they are pretty darn good ( so much so I have gone to 11 or so of their performances)

So when I take photos of anything I like to get all artsy, but there is something here that is of a little more interest than the lights and shadows.

It's the people. Maybe there were 12 or so people leaning on the guard rail in front of the stage and the rest of the crowd was just hanging around, sitting in chairs, leaning on walls. This would make sense I GUESS if it were jazz or something, but this was a ROCK live. These guys were up there jumping around and the people just stand there.

This happens at most of the lives I have been to. It is different from concerts, at a live you generally know the band or a member of one of the bands and I guess in that case you don't wanna jump around and look dumb. I've been to lives of older bands where they have hordes of teen fans who go nuts dancing, but that is OK, you don't know the band then.

It's weird, in a whole room of people who " know the band"
