Sure, as a musician I can confirm that pure dance concerts drive me
insane; I want to move but the bouncers come and settle me down. Gotcha
there, Mary-Lou !

One thing I won't miss when I leave Germany is the _painfully_ static
audiences at popular music events. I end up getting pushed towards the
back of the hall so that people can _stand_ at the front. (Bitte keine
Einwaende, so ist das nun mal !)
