If he went through the center, yes. But I'm saying most GA sections in that size of a venue still have barriers along the side/back and he could have just gone along the side. Also, despite the venue being seated last night on the floor, there was no barriers along the center where he walked down, so someone could have easily mauled him because there was nothing stopping them from just walking into his path...but he did have like 5 security guards around him. I've seen Adam of Taking Back Sunday walk through the crowd of House of Blues (few years ago, he walked off side of stage, walked to back bar then walked through the pit) and people respected his space and path. I saw Lupe Fiasco do the same thing at House of Blues (in fact, Lupe dropped his ear piece, which I picked up and he came back into the crowd to grab it from me).
21P did something similar on this tour and the entire floor is usually GA (with the exception of MSG which splits it into two sections).
Did you park on the street? or in a lot? I'm going again Saturday and would prefer to find a better parking spot.
I would say the difference between Adam Lazzara and Brendon Urie is pretty cavernous. But ... there's been one show that was all GA and they didn't do either of the two elements we're talking about.
The venue in Maryland must have been too small for the This is Gospel/DOAB thing, he just did both of those songs on the stage
Fuck, this show was so good last night. That was my 13th time seeing Panic! across the last 11 years, I've seen them on every major tour they've done and they just keep getting better. That was an insane show. The production was on point, the setlist worked, and the performance was spot on. Band has never sounded better, Brendon has never sounded better. We were in the front row on the aisle of one of the middle floor sections, and Brendon walked right in front of us during "Death of a Bachelor" and both my friend and I got to high-five him! I even enjoyed "Bohemian Rhapsody" despite having seen it so many times. Saint Motel killed it! I definitely want to see them again. Wish they would have played "Born Again". Misterwives I thought had a very interesting setlist, felt like they barely played anything off their last record, but they also killed it and the new songs are pretty good. I was actually so happy to have floor seats instead of GA pit in the long run, it didn't kill the vibe at all, it was nice to sit down in between bands, and did I mention that I got to high-five Brendon Urie?
Considering Brendon had a fever of 103 and could barely speak, I thought the Portland show was amazing. He wasn't happy during soundcheck and joked about using a track from a good show, but he definitely gave it all he had for the show. I think I would have passed out doing a backflip in front of pyro with a fever like that.
