The band is incredible, I think Steve Jordan is giving them a bit more of rock. Guitars are heavier and the band sounds solid. A few mistakes, but probably because the boys age.
I was quite disappointed with the European public. It was my first show in Europe and the audience seemed to be watching a movie instead of a rock and roll show.
They got annoyed if you jumped or shouted. They were bothered by the flags and stood still all the concert.
The show in the pit was given by the Argentinians and Uruguayans. They may be different ways of experiencing music and passion, but come on! It's a rock and roll show! A bit of emotion and madness.

Surprised to hear that the Spanish crowd was subdued. Well, I guess compared to Argentinians?

It was not subdued.

It is surprising or not very reassuring for the shows to come, because the Spanish audience is one of the most enthusiastic in the world with the Argentinean public for example...Quote

Sorry to correct you on this one, but if a person queued for hours to get a good spot in the front then it is their spot. If you come later you have no right to push to the front.Quote

Another BIG thing was, the people thinking they got a numbered seat in a pit. When I tried to move to the front I received comment like "this is my place". And all we have the same ticket, not a SEAT. That was annoying.

I was in the pit yesterday with my wife and dauhter and we queued since 4p.m, and in the middle of the show there were people who tried to get in front of us or to make room by pushing us, that's something that I can't understand.

While it's true, in reality it doesn't work that way. When you go to a show you have to be ready for those things to happen to you.You can't be aggressive.
We all have the same ticket and it is not numbered. No one has the right to take over a place, no matter how early they have arrived. It is a pit, not a theater.
At least in my experience, which is not small, it works this way. I don't think I am absolutely right and neither are you. But in South America if you speak badly to someone because of this they will kick you in the ass more than once.Quote

I was queued since early too, but I stayed at the back drinking beer. Once the show started I wanted to go to the front. I probably arrived at the same time than you. Probably is a cultural difference, here the people is more respectful than in our land. Which is great, but they are incompatibilities. Yesterday I saw a few discussions of people for this very thing.
Anyway, it is rock and roll.

Pit, while general admission, is first come, first serve. It's just common courtesy to respect other people's spots and not elbow/force your way up front.

Can't wait to watch the vids as they are uploaded. I don't wanna complain about the set list too much but the second part of the set could do with a change up, it's been basically the same for years now.

That's brutal. Of course it is never the humble, shy ones who push forward and also barely women but mostly men with a much too high aggression and testosterone rate. Had one at the ACDC concert in 2015 who was proud that shortly before showtime he managed to push through 60.000 or so people (all GA), including sneaking over the wavebreaker, all to the front. Was so agressive though that nobody dared to get into a fight with him.Quote

The PIT can be quite dangerous! I was knocked down in Nashville and my friend was knocked down in Detroit. People rush the stage area who don't get the concept of first ones in get the front. There was also a PIT fight in Vegas, so if you want PIT you have to be able to "stand your ground" and tell people to step back and basically fvck off.

You're switching the roles. The egoists are not the ones who stood in queue all day to get a got spot and then have to defend their spot. The egoists are the ones coming late pushing to the front.Quote

So people like you with that kind of egoism shouldn't be in the pit area
