I stopped going to ROCK and ROLL concerts when they started selling seats!

I stopped going to ROCK and ROLL concerts when they started selling seats, and insisting that I sit in them!  From 1954 til somewhere in the 70's, I must have danced at the concerts of almost all of the best ROCK bands in history.  It is fact. I couldn't have been more fortunate!  I don't think I had to pay more than $5 admission to any one of them.  I think I paid $1.50 (or about that) To see John Mayall, Albert King, and Jimi Hendrix, light show by Jerry Abrahms Headlights, at Winterland.  Probably the same amount to see The Band with the Mothers of Invention.  I don't care who it was, the tickets were usually about $1.50.  Fleetwood Mack (Original), Kinks, the Who, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Country Joe and the Fish, the FUGS, Blues Project, Pentangle, Dreadfull Great, (sorry, I meant Grateful Dead, back when they were exciting),  Yardbirds, Blind Faith, Spirit, Moby Grape, Quicksilver Messinger Service, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Indian Head Band, Ace of Cups, Steppenwolf, AB SKYE Blues Band, Steve Miller Blues Band, Black Pearl, Jefferson Airplane, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Junior Wells and Buddy Guy, Charlie Musselwhite's South Side Sound System, Freedom Highway, Kaleidoscope, Salvation Army Banned, Sly and the Family Stone, Jeff Beck Group, the Lamb, Lothar and the Hand People, 13th Floor Elevators, Vanilla Fudge, Young Rascals, HP Lovecraft, Tim Buckley, Santana, etc.  Hell, I haven't even scratched the surface...but one thing was true about every one of the concerts (usually each one had 3 headliners), was, If you wanted a seat, find a table over against the wall, or just sit where you stand, on the floor, and people would try real hard to keep from stepping on you.
Then one day someone gave me tickets to a concert, and it was in an auditorium with seats.  Not only that, but they expected you to stay in them, and enforced this stupidity.  WHAT?  I go to a concert to DANCE!  Who the HELL EVER heard of going to a ROCK and ROLL concert to sit down?  What's the point of that?

Fortunately, about the time that started happening, I had already discovered REGGAE.  NOBODY can sit still for that!  The next time I looked into going to a so-called "Rock and Roll" concert, The price was up to $75 to sit in a stupid seat!  To HELL with that!                                                         

Also fortunately, rap and hippity-hop (or whatever they call that crap) came along, and drove me away from the kind of music I'd always loved, and I discovered the String Quartet, Quintets, Concertos, and stuff I'd always thought I hated, chamber music from the 18th Century.  I WILL sit still for that!
