depends on the act and venue.
some of it is a little over the top. worst offenders i've seen have been in the country genre, though. aside: next time you go to the arena show, watch the opening act. they NEVER set foot on the catwalk, like they're verboten! funny stuff.

I think they're OK - gets more people 'up close and personal' to the players IMO.

Aerosmith did some good stuff with a long catwalk. Last show I saw was when they were on tour with Motley Crew. Tyler and Perry both used it a lot.

Crowds seem to like the interaction. What would be the negative here? Concerts are all about the visuals and have been for a long time. Many people hear with their eyes. If you look good, really look like you are "into it" it goes a long way in convincing the audience they were at a great concert. Lights, props etc are all part of the "circus".

one of the coolest shots on it might get loud was the catwalk under the castle with the edge in the middle of a billion fans.

Saw the Stones back in '95. Mick was racin' up and down those runways like a teenager.

I guess I'm a curmudgeon.
I came to hear the music, not see people prancing around. It is an occupational hazard (falls) from what I am seeing more and more. Maybe an aging rocker could motor back and forth in his electric scooter or something.

I love the idea.
Both times I saw the David Lee Roth band he used gimmick to get to the back of the auditorium. The first time he rode on a golf cart through one of the access ramps. The second time he rode a surfboard across the ceiling. When you're sitting in the far end of the stadium, and then all of a sudden Diamond Dave is 25 feet away...that's pretty exciting.

Lame. Of course, I'm not a fan of rock "shows". I'm there to see the band play, not see a bunch of parlor tricks. I can do without the fire and lights and rear screen projected videos.
