here in St.Louis county on a flood plain near the interstate inthe fields where mom used to pick stawberries for added income they built an outdoor ampitheater that attracted all the touring shows... My AUNT Shirley worked for Contempory Productions who used to produce the big shows in the city at Kiel Opra house and the Arena.. I had free passes and vip parking for 2 concectutive summers... can't name all the acts that i was there for but PARTY was the name of the game..the rich people had the fancy seats under a roof.. my free passes were good for the lawn seats on the hill.. kind of far from the stage but 2 large video screens showed how ugly and old the performers were
. being free to roam the "hill" , sitting crosslegged with a cold draft beer next to a cute stranger on an old blanket is better than a reserved seat anytime .. if things don't work out within a song or 2 ,just wander down a level or east-west..
