FTR most bands I know really like young kids that are into their music (not just dragged? drug? along by their parents) I know I met a lead singer of another band because I had my youngest with me who wasn't that young at that time just small for his age. They had the longest conversation of the evening with any of the fans! Same concert I got called a cool "mom" by another concert goer (school night). I think Muse is more multigenerational. I took my eldest to his first concert when he was 11 which was Live8 (that was a long day and he was brilliant) Totally love "Muselims" - too funny!

Well I can't take all the credit there is a show that the English boardies will know about called Soccer Am and they used to do "topless weather" which was a guy with his top off giving the weather report and he would always say "and down south (dramatic pause) light drizzle" - such an appropriate phrase at times!
-
I guess ladies need to be peepared - worst case scenario - use Depends or something similar, obviously won't hold off a monsoon pee but would take care of a light, nervous drizzle.

if you do get separated just hang back until you see them or arrange to meet up after the gig at the corner of the sounddesk etc before you go. We always take our time leaving a gig and are never the last ones out. That said the U S floor didn't look that bad and most people seemed to stay in their groups from what I could see.

I thought the whole point of crowdsurfing was to be groped by as many people as possible... honestly what the heck are you expecting???? If you weigh over 100 lbs don't do it and don't come near me because I will drop your heavy arse.

I only use seats for before - so when GA is sitting on their bums on the floor. And between sets. I'm not very fit and I managed to stand all the way through the concert. Well I'm going for the worst of both worlds GA in Cincinnati

Wang Zhizhi is 7ft and from China! Don't worry I know what you mean - I now understand why moms just put kids in shorts year round here!

a 12 year old boy could be 6ft tall by October!

I took my eldest to his first concert at age 11. The roughest part was the "mosh" for t-shirts. So after that he decided we would stay at the back of the crowd. I wasn't complaining there was no way I was going to stand for 12 hours of concert - so at the back we were able to sit between acts. My advice - US crowds for Muse aren't as surging as European crowds so if you want to queue all day and be in with a shout for barrier then you will probably be ok. Make friends with security once you are there. Are you taller/stronger than he is? If so you could always put him on barrier and then you go behind him to protect him. Note that this stage is higher than average to accomodate the towers when they are lowered. If neither of you like crowds stand back by the sound desk. Still see everything, still in GA and you will have the best "sound" for that arena.

One thing that has always put me off barrier (I've done it once but it could hardly be called barrier) is the whole fighting for your right to be there - I'm there to enjoy the show. I'm married and have no intention of humping any member the band or crew so... I guess I am just for the easy life Plus I like to watch different reactions from different sections - Last night I hit the jackpot except for the extradinarily tall chap in front of me - I'm 5'8" so I don't normally have height issues especially in seated. I was looking forward to seeing Matt but in the end I just saw the back of Lurch's head in any position Matt was in so I focussed on watching Chris and Dom and all was good! FTR - I'm not dissing on Lurch he can't help his height and had just as much right to be in his seat as I did in mine I just wish his seat had been behind mine!

I would say it depends on venue where the best sound is. We were closer in Nashville than in Atlanta and the sound was better overall in Nashville. Seated both times.
-
Its a different experience from the seats. However, its preferrable for me. I can see, hear, dance and don't have to worry about being moshed. Here's some footage I took in Atlanta I'm not getting it to upload So here's a picture
