Club shows are getting tougher & tougher on my back and my knees, really noticeable for the past year+.

Yeah, I'm not that far behind you. For all my shit talking about arena shows every so often I will end up in a club or theater that has actual seating and I will remark to myself "Oh, this is nice"...but it's a fine line between available seating and a show during which you can eat stadium nachos.

I ended up at a venue a couple weeks ago that is an old high-school, and they use the auditorium for shows & will either leave the seats in or pull them all out, depending on the act...but the floor is sloped for those seats, so if they pull them out then everybody is standing on sloped concrete for fucking hours....that was the first time I ever experienced that, and it suuuuuuucked. My ankles were mush afterwards.
