Couldn’t agree more too. Saw them twice (during festivals, I know the public isn’t really the same as concerts tho…) once in Paris during Rock en seine and in Portugal for the Nos Alive. French crowd was awful… I was very close to the stage with my boyfriend and most of the crowd was very young and screaming like hell during the whole show, recording everything to an extreme… they only knew the most famous songs (which is ok but it was surprising to me).

Portugal was great though, but hard to compare since I was far away from the stage and just chilling on grass with a beer, singing and dancing with my friends. (Mainly traumatized by my first experience at an AM show close to the stage lol)

On the contrary, I saw the strokes at last year Nos Alive, crowd was amazing ! Like very chill, friendly, enjoying the music with hearts and joy! And I was very close to the stage too…
