I don't bother sleeping through gigs I go to. If they're so bad that I don't want to sit and watch them (Hatfield and the North being a prime example), I'll get up and leave.
This isn't to say that H&tN was bad musically, but they all seemed so wrapped up in their own stuff that they completely forgot that we, the audience, the people who are paying to see them do a SHOW, even existed. If all I wanted to do was listen to music (which, in all fairness, wasn't BAD, but it wasn't all that technically heavy either), I'd stay at home and listen to their CD. They weren't bad, per se, but they certainly weren't all THAT good, and most assuradely not worth headlining over Tony Levin!
I'm not much of a Gig goer myself, primarily because of my back, but also because of the dearth of good prog gigs that even know that Atlanta exists. Making it to Nearfest was a Class I treat (mucho thanks, kudos, etc. to Vax and Mrs. Vax for their hospitality, etc) and I got to meet a lot of Moonies that I wouldn't have otherwise.
