<DIV><FONT size=4>I live in an area where there is No Culture. No Mahler
Symphonies live, no brilliant actors performing Shakespeare. But if I could I
would have the human decency to turn off that pestillence of a mobile device. I
would also not even dare to go in jeans & shirt, I would pretzel up a bit,
pay the artists some respect. Least you can do I reckon.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>Shortly after he quit the concert circus GG argued that the
experience of listening to music at home would replace concerts soon. He made a
case in point in one of the “infamous” Humphrey Burton interviews (see the new
GG DVD box for details)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>If my memory is correct then one of his arguments was that
more and more sophisticated HIFI systems would give the listener a wider range
in terms of trebble, pitch etc and thus listening to music at home would be a
spuperior experience.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>He also clearly mistrusted a coughing, murmiring, sneezing
concert goers. Let alone the touring circus and the feuilleton critique. He had
his reasons for quitting, I guess coughing audiences were the least of his
worries while merrily humming along to the score.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Not that he would be vindicated these days for his
argumentation, but these little petty incidents certainly would be water on his
mills.</FONT></DIV>

per se with GG at first sight:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>No wonder GG did not trust audiences.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Especially not these days where this sort of stuff happens
more and more, theatre, cinema, even at funerals. How dumb, rude and ignorant
can you be these days ? Then again how come they haven’t installed one of these
nifty signal blockers ? Oh dear, Keith Jarrett would have had one of his
trolling and raging fits hehe...and were he still alive this would have been a
good argument for GG to claim that the concert performance is obsolete. At least
from his point of view anyway.</FONT></DIV>
