When you go to a concert and both bands on the bill are as hot as is humanly possible and the most exciting thing that happens all night is a re-creation of Earth Versus the Flying Saucers staged during intermission by the audience with the aid of a bunch of frisbees, and the best feeling you get personally about the whole affair occurs when the Nassau Colisseum scoreboard flashes the news that the first game of the World Series has been rained out (dedication to one’s work often pays off in the strangest ways)...well, it’s beginning to become apparent that the days of “stadium rock” are indeed numbered, that what is keeping this form of entertainment (and I use the word loosely) still breathing is an almost nostalgic longing by the young audience that still populates these shows for the big event.
