Yes, I had that experience at the O2 (when it opened) - I was high up and the acoustics were pretty poor.
I'm a Rush fan but have only seen them live once, at the NEC Arena on the Signals tour (198?)
I really don't like big arenas - I much prefer fields of various sizes : everything from small festivals to Glasto
Much better atmosphere IMO and you don't get ripped off for food and drink so much
Excluding Reading, the ones I go to /went to allow you to take your own booze, and drink it anywhere including main stages.
I don't do Reading now as I'm TOO OLD. I was too old when I was 35, and now I'm (gulp) 55...
