Very true Dr. J
All ages gigs have a great vibe.
A very friendly feeling you get the moment you walk in the door, at central its like cheers "you know everybodys name" and i lurve that. But at an r18 gig the music is the focal point, the punters ARE taken on a ride by it, so when the music is not going anywhere neither is the crowd but when the right song is dropped at the right time the atmosphere is electric.

One thing which i lurve. Another thing is the "right" song doesnt have to be a commercial hit, like barthezz it just has to serve its purpose in the night.
