It seems a shame that little attention is paid to the 'tweeners. Yes, the people up front watch a little, and we all appreciate the extra music, but mostly these performances are semi-ignored.
Here’s an idea to get around that. How about erecting a SMALL, elevated stage right behind the soundboard? Obviously electricity and sound would be very convenient there, and the “dance floor” would make for an excellent standing-room-only place to watch the performers. And finally, it would give the people in the back 40 a really great seat to see some of their favorite artists.
Just a thought*.
*Ouch. I forgot how much thinking hurts!
