RE: volume

"I alwas got shit from security back in the day for walking around and listening from different areas."

I was always a bit wary in my student and post student days. I had one of the cheapest seats in Symphony Hall, a fold down on the side of the second balcony. I would check the program which had a map of all the seats in the hall and mark off seats in the expensive part of the floor that were empty and try to move down there for the second half of the concert. Usually this worked, but there were a few embarrassing moments. My problem was my concert budget, not my clothing budget, so I didn't look like a bum.

Years later, I was fortunate enough to afford a pair of seats in the best section of the house, at least for one of the shorter BSO concert series. Unfortunately at that time the orchestra wasn't really worth listening to, given the conductor (Ozawa). By the time he was fortunately disposed of, I had moved two hundred miles from Boston.
