No seriously, give me a break
I think the continual nature of a TD concert today actually detracts from the overall performance because of a lack of a mid-way break. I think it's just nice to have one for all sorts of reasons – time to go to the loo, have another beer, visit the merchandise stall or just chat to the person next to you about the music, what you'd like to hear second half, or whatever.
It must also be hard on the musicians (particularly Iris) to keep going for so long, surely a break would be good for them too.
Or maybe it just me – and I have the attention span of a newt and you guys think the format length is fine.
1997 was the last time TD had a break in a concert, wasn't it (I forget now)?
3 hours is a bit too much sometimes, well, unless it's like the SBE 2005 then that went by in a flash.
I agree that breaks can be a good time to chat to other fans, but then again the 'only' conversation I ever had during one went like this
Actual conversation:
Scottish fan: *** **** ********?
Me: Eh?
Scottish fan: *** **** *********!!!?
Me: Eh? quarter past 9
Scottish Fan: eh?
Me: eh?
Scottish Fan: did you know that the cover of Phaedra is actually a horse?
Me: eh?...are you sure.......?
Music starts....
