    They're pretty much like a festival, to be honest. These days the sound is pretty good - they have smaller versions of the PA at various points in the venue which means that the sound circulates much better.

    It takes quite a band to pull off a venue that size, however. I've seen 3 bands do it very, very well: Metallica, Muse and AC/DC.
    None of the stadium shows I've been to sounded nearly as good as a smaller, indoor arena.

    I will agree it takes a certain kind of band to really pull off a stadium show...not just talking about being able to put asses in the seats, either.

    I honestly would never want to see Van Halen in a stadium. Bad enough dealing with 15,000 + people at an indoor venue as it is.

      By far one of the most memorable top 5 real moments of the DLR/VH fan zone!!

        I've decided after years and years of gigs that 2-3000 is ideal either in a theatre or a specialised music venue. Any more than that is just a pain in the ass and doesn't add enough to the atmosphere to make it worth the shitty view, the corporate crap, often mediocre sound, the hassle of getting to them, and the feeling of detachment from the act as you drink pissy beer from a plastic cup watching a video screen with some tiny people underneath it.

        As you say the Arena is bad enough...

          I like to think it was enough to get Alex thinking and just a few short years later helped him realise they had to get Roth back.
