Hi people
Saw Fish with my wife in Salisbury for the first time since Vigil - great music and performance. The crowd were really strange. Fish was leaping about and dancing amazing - and punters stood like a load of rocks. No dancing, no jumping, very little engagement with Fish except clapping. I wonder what its like for Fish to put such effort and passion into the songs, and get so little energy back? Am I missing a trick or a tradition here? Can someone tell me why the main song of Salisbury Fish fans should be I canât dance?

This sounds very strange to me too! - In my experience, apart from during acoustic performances, Fish fans have always been both vocal and physical in their enjoyment! - Admittedly weâre all getting a little bit decrepit these days, so the moshing may occasionally resemble âgentle swaysâ, but honestly, Iâd hobble out there on crutches and give it my all. - Maybe you just attended a gig in a very âgentileâ part of the country?

Sounds like Bilston was the opposite Of Sailsbury, the crowd were deafening in parts, âWe Marchedâ the floor was bouncing and you could see that Fish and the band were blown away - Having been to Birmingham in December the difference was so noticeable there we were mostly seated until the encores which really sapped the energy, we might all be slowing down but not stopping just yet!

Sounds like the Birmingham gig last year the crowd were like âZombifiedâ absolutely no reaction for most of the gig, and all still seated in their seats, apart from me, Michelle, Andy & Marie, had to be seen to be believed. Definitely not the Normal for a Fish gig, actually the exact opposite. Glasgow blew the Roof of the ABC, Mosh pits the lot! No halt to the dancing singing clapping for the entire gig, and I must say one of , if not the best Fish I have been to, that along with the Convention in 2012.

Remember the last gig of the Feast tour at Lemmers being very exuberant too. - Iâve never been a fan of seated gigs, unless the music warrants a more laid-back response.

Of the 3 gigs Iâve seen on the Misplaced tour (Birmingham, Glasgow & Bilston) Glasgow was the best in my opinion - performance and crowd wise. Itâs just a pity this one wasnât recorded or filmed for future release.
