[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Actually, it's standing in the same place for 3+ hours that saps my energy, but I guess that's just me. I'm not one to hoot and holler and dance much, anyway, regardless of it being a sit down or standup venue.
 
    Do you think sports teams would perform better if the venues were standup venues, and thus their would be more energy coming from the crowd?

That's a good analogy - & I'd still say yes - standing equals more energy.
 
 I know though that we could get into a chicken or the egg type argument about whether the band(teams) performance actually induces the crowd into an energetic and appreciative standing position.
 
 I think it's what them biologists call a symbiotic relationship!

absolutely - not saying the sports team would perform better BUT being at a sporting event with terracing, as opposed to all seated generates a much better atmosphere, often for the simple reason that you can fit more people in
 
 a standing crowd has significantly more energy than a seated crowd

 Vol. 2-69 Love Songs - The Magnetic Fields
 
 Been a while since I have listened to these, but seeing them mentioned a couple places made me listen again, forgot how good they are.  Especially Volume 1.

I am currently addicted to this album...

 ****************
 Another opinion. From a Nick Hornby article that he wrote after seeing the band in Kentish Town, North London recently:
 
  Marah Press
 
 Cool tidbits:
 
 Five or six years ago, a friend in Philly introduced me to a local band called Marah. Their first album had just come out, on an indie label, and it sounded great to me, like the Pogues reimagined by the E Street Band, full of fire and tunes, and soul and banjos.
 
 Their next album will be spectacular, and theyâ??ll sell out Madison Square Garden, and youâ??ll all be boasting that you read a column by a guy who saw them in the Fiddlerâ??s Elbow. Anyway, the two shows I saw that week were spectacular, as good as anything, Iâ??ve seen with the possible exception of the Clash in â??79, Prince in â??85 and Springsteen on the River tour.

My latest discovery. With a sound like this, they have to be good live.  <img src="http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0000AKXOT.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg" alt=" - " />

A friend of mine in Manchester sent me a promo of theirs for my birthday that he picked up at one of their shows. Good band.
