Seal played Pier Six Pavilion in Baltimore on June 18, 1999. The show was great. He was so electric and energetic. Following is a set list and a few comments about the audience behavior.

Encore-Bring It On
Crazy

I cannot figure out why some people pay for a concert ticket. Here are three examples from this show:

1. A woman with big brown hair that was adorned with a flower. She was in the third row center, and she felt the need to dance, you know, "pushing up the heavens dance," from the very first note. It didn't matter that people behind her had paid to see the show - mostly, they got to see her dance.

2. A couple, who were with the flower-haired woman, who made out for most the show, when he was there - he left four or five times.

3. Four people who sat behind us about half way into the show. They said, as they sat down, "We'll stay here until the usher makes us move," so they were clearly not in the seats assigned on their tickets. It wasn't the fact that they moved up that annoyed me - what annoyed me was they TALKED all through the show. If they had moved up into empty seats and actually WATCHED the show, it certainly wouldn't have bothered me.

Anyway, even with the rude patrons, the show was outstanding. See it if you can.
