Nothing can change the shape of things to come

I've just booked a ticket for a gig. First one in years.
A gig with seats.
A gig with numbered seats in a twee little theatre in Dunstable
How have the mighty been domesticated.
Me and the bands, frankly!

Last time I went to a "stand and listen" gig (at Plinston in Letchworth) I was really grumply about my feet.
