      "ARRIVAL was GREAT, but the Long Center was TERRIBLE!"

      I felt sorry for the band, as the geriatric ushers were cracking down on anyone who wanted to have fun at the concert. They actually said, "NO DANCING!" At an ABBA concert? No dancing?!! You've got to... Expand

      I felt sorry for the band, as the geriatric ushers were cracking down on anyone who wanted to have fun at the concert. They actually said, "NO DANCING!" At an ABBA concert? No dancing?!! You've got to be kidding! Luckily, my group and another group of like-minded individuals decided after the first set we would rush the stage and start dancing - old ushers be damned! We did, it worked, and we had a great time. The venue itself reminded me of a high school theater. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT GO SEE A POP/MODERN/HIP-HOP CONCERT AT THE LONG CENTER. The ushers are aggressive and offensive. Collapse
