That's why, I've decided, I like general admission gigs (or the lawn for
those shed shows).  If you find you're in a dead spot (or stuck behind
someone tall or obnoxious:), you can always move around and find a
better place.  I saw Gov't Mule at the Norva in Norfolk, VA on Tuesday,
and watched the first set from the upstairs balcony, where the view was
great.  But, I enjoyed the second set downstairs on the main floor,
where the sound was better.  (Great gig, great sound, and Oteil was
really getting into it.)

Sorry to hear that the sound was naff at the RFH where you were sitting. :-(

Cheers,

Paul.
