Even dogs can't hear in the Beacon.



So, I was isolated at the shore Friday morning when
the Beacon went on sale and I am taking what I can 
get at the Beacon. 

I was only there once, and my impression was that the 
downstairs was really really wide and one doesn't want 
to be way off to the side, or you won't hear or see 
much, and from others' reports of concerts there, my 
understanding is that the same can be said for the 
upper decks (the loge and the balcony).
I.e., the place swallows sightlines and sound whole. 

>From folks who have been inside all over the place, 
what's your opinion? Am I better off in the center 
of the balcony than the last seat on the far right 
in row J on the floor? Is the upper balcony a world 
of difference from the lower balcony? Should I 
pursue front and center orch at any cost because 
anything else there is a waste of time? 

My priority is not having sucky sound. I pretty much 
know what everyone in the band looks like by now.
