Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nation.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Down to the Jonesy De Matter of Arms study pub
test and today we're all talking about standing up at concerts.
We took a call on our goolie line the other day.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Do you know what gets my ghoulies is when you
buy concert tickets to sit in a class seating in
a closed stadium, but then the people in front of
you in the seeded area that have paid the same
price are now standing up to dance with the people
that are standing on the ground. I think, if you
want to stand up to dance at the concert, be
on the dance floor, don't go where the seats are.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
I have a bit of a win in Rome. Do
as the Romans do thing. I get a concert, I
get the vibe if someone's behind me sitting down.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
I said, like, that's what if it's your favorite song
and you feel like having a boogie.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, I know what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's hard to say. Coaches will do goodbye, Asterid goodbye,
and everyone else is having a breath.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
No one is going to be sitting down.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
But the concerts where that happens, it's your favorite moment
to stand up and others don't want to It's quite
a controversial discussion, isn't it. How do you feel standing
up at concerts as it past the pub test?

Speaker 3 (01:03):
So I'd believe if the vibe of the concert is
to stand up and have a good boogie, then stand
up and have a good boogie. If you happen to
be that person behind, that person in front of you,
that's having a good time.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
You've got two choices.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Get up and join in or sit there and keep
having your we ambulance. But at the end of the day,
the concerts there to have a good time, have a
good time. No, I wouldn't be able to stand for
the duration of the concert. I would stand up, you know,
whether it was you know, one song exciting or whatever.
My poor old, very good fains in the league wed
tate too much. Absolutely it does. Sushi Quatro will get

(01:36):
you up on the floor. She wants you up dancing
and singing.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
A lot of the artists will want you to do that.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
For me personally, absolutely not, because I'm in a wheelchair
and if someone stands up in front of me, I've
wasted the price of a ticket. I can't enjoy it.
I absolutely hate it. So no, it does not pass
the pub tist. If you go to a rock concert,
you've got to stand, end up and dance, get into
the march, stand up anywhere at a concert, a rock concert, go.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
For it, wheelchair or not straight into the marsh. But
if you've got a wheelchair person in a wheelchair behind you,
you're not going to stand.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Up in front.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
But it's all women calling you be the slipper, not fest.
And you know I was a Barry Manilow and Melanie
and I are in the back of your friend. Yeah,
and we thought how and we've loved him for a
million years. We thought great was going to stand up
and hug each other and cry for the whole thing.
And then some people arrived in a wheelchair behind us.
And so you think you have to be judicious. You

(02:31):
pick the song where you think I'm going to have
to I'm going to have to stand and you just
sat down throughout the whole thing. No, No, there was
occasional favorite songs, so you stand up, stand up. Might
say to them, sorry, do you mind if I stand up?
But if you're polite about it, If you're polite about it,
and say, do you mind if I if I block
you for this one?

Speaker 1 (02:50):
And What did they say?

Speaker 2 (02:51):
They said, sure, we've had a rapport with them, but
we knew not to stand up the whole time because
it's just they wouldn't see anything. It's our bums. That's
quite a show as well. Haven't your up at enough?
Thank you for all your calls.
