Some of my favorite concerts in my life have been outdoor affairs. It doesn't seem so much the venue to me as the attitude of the crowd. Problem with outdoor stuff in NYC, much of it is free, and free attracts too many schlubs who are into free shit and think it might be cool, but don't place any real value on the performance nor the performers. The Prospect Park shows especially, have become horrible. I live pissing distance from the bandshell and have mostly shunned the shows in the last several years. The vast majority of attendees seem to have no real interest in the music being performed. It's all cell phones, loud conversations... ugh...

That was my crabby old man blog response. Sunday morning things seem quite a bit different. I'm really looking forward to several upcoming Prospect Park shows, including the Joe Cuba Sextet, and there's an African festival coming up which is always magic. For now though it's revisiting the 80s with Lloyd Cole's Rattlesnakes.
