Supergroove - But don't move.
======================
Amidst poor event management, Fans at Vector Arena get told to sit down and stop moving during Supergroove.

"... in an move that would've made even a more staid event manager swoon, and despite the protests of all those standing or dancing, we were told to return to our seats and sit down by Vector Arena's boys in green jackets.
Yeah, you heard me right - a Supergroove concert with prohibited dancing... people were not even allowed to stand at the very edge of the rows they had paid $90 a ticket to be seated in, blocking noone's view of the performance. That's right - no standing during Supergroove, either. Now, for those of you who don't know Supergroove, they are (recently reformed) one of the most electric, dynamic, energetic stage acts in NZ history- and sitting in those seats, not being able to reciprocate- to give back to the band what they were giving us- felt like torture, and it totally ruined what was an otherwise flawless performance by the guys themselves. Che fu & the gang were in top form, showing no drop in energy from their split in the 1990's, and if some of the routines seemed even slightly less spontaneous than their in earlier days, it was drowned out by the sheer wall of sonic mayhem that descended with accurate delivery from the boys in black. But no dancing. At least 50 people were told to sit down, at least, just in the small 20 metre radius I could see. The crowd was angry and the backlash came during Crowded house..."

WOOOOOW that SUCKS

I know the mummy's and daddy's and other, uh, more conservative people might feel threatened by a bit of dancing or moshing.... and if that's the case, I suggest Crowded House get Brooke Fraser or Dave Dobbyn or something, uh more "safe".

I heard Pluto were on AFTER Supergroove.

Talk about a buzz-kill!

SIT DOWN. DON'T HAVE FUN.

As a rock musician I couldn't think of anything worse than a seated and subdued audience.
