Also, Mormons are pretty good at not paying musicians, too.Peter Shirtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12127694194498636105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921567004864315541.post-84176694691540122052015-09-21T14:31:22.449-04:002015-09-21T14:31:22.449-04:00Thanks for your thoughts, Alicia!

I feel like it's a reflection on the naïveté of the audience--they think, "Wow, they played all those notes, and they're on a big stage, we should stand!" But then, I feel a bit like a jerk when I stay in my seat (it's not that it wasn't good, it just wasn't the concert of the decade, okay?!). And you're right about the encores being awkward for performers, at least performers who, like me, know that the standing Os are fake. Good point about jazz, too.
