Best audiences?

Okay, let's take the negative topic and turn it into a positive one. Where was the BEST audience you've ever experienced?

i love ben folds audiences. they always know how to sing and they do it well -- in harmony, too. they also tend to be very much like fruheads, in terms of general geekiness and silliness.

<"insert city name"> audiences are the best audiences! Am I right?! Woooo!

Well, I had a negative experience at a Ben Folds concert... some Genese-ho wench pushed her way up to the front so she could "dance for her man." *grumble*

The audiance at SMAF was the best. I felt like I everyone who was there for the entire festival was my best friend.

that's funny...i felt like everyone there in the audience for the entire festival was a creepy old hobo who was trying to hit on me. :)

Because no one rocks like.... Springfield!

Wally Cleaver tried to hit on you?

*snork*
no, i meant david.
i mean.
um.

hmm. I've found that with a few exceptions, Ben Folds audiences are really really young. geeky and silly, yes, but still 15 years old.

really? the three shows i've been to have been mainly 20-somethings. i do remember one chicago show where a dad had brought along his two preteen kids, who were positively bored stiff.

Did we fail to mention Fruvous fans totally rock?

Venues?

The Iron Horse, almost always is pretty good.

But the best I've ever seen, hands down, is the Listening Room series at Unmi's in noho.
I have never in my life seen a more quiet, respectful and attentive audience at a show.
Awesome.

what's a fruvous?

Speaking as a musician, the best audiences are Swing Dancers! heh....;-)

Barry Manilow all the way! :)

I just saw Radiohead last night. The crowd was mellow, calm, energetic when necessary, and very courteous. It was quite a feat, especially for such an enormous mass of people.

You know, I would have to agree with that. If anything, I thought the crowd was TOO mellow. I just didn't get the feeling of a party, but then again, I wouldn't characterize Radiohead's music as a party. :)
