This is a personal tale of public embarrassment - but fortunately, no names were given.
Writing an article today about Calgary Pengrowth Saddledome as an accessible destination reminded me of the Bryan Adams concert I went to there for my birthday about two years ago.
Colin James opened - both his and Bryan Adams' shows were lots of fun, a great night. The only nit was the people in front of us. For half of every song, the woman got up and danced in the tiny space between her seat and the seat in front. Her boyfriend wasn't so keen on dancing, so we had a bit of a reprieve, but we still had a lot of our view of the stage blocked.
Anyway, the music was good so I didn't worry too much about the inconsiderate woman. (There was room to dance elsewhere and she could have gone there).
Driving home, we heard the DJ on our local rock station taking calls from concert goers.
DJ: "OK, so how was the night?"
Caller: "I had a great time but my section was DEAD. I was sitting in section 82 and I just want to say to those people sitting in section 82, man, you guys are DEAD. I was the only one dancing!"
I know what you're thinking, and the answer is... yes. Out of a crowd of 20,000 or so... amazing but true.
