I've seen the Mighty Mighty Bosstones twice, and while I do not regularly
listen to ska, I've found this band to be a lot of fun
in concert. They are one of the few major acts, it seems, to still allow
stage diving at their shows. This, of course, could be considered
good and bad.
The first time I saw them was at the 40 Watt here in Athens, Georgia, and it was packed. This was the first and only time I ever dove from a stage, and it was great. Moshing was very "in" at the time, and most of my gal pals were afraid of getting too close. I was slammed to and fro a bit, and when I returned to where my friends were, one pointed out that I had blood running from my ear. (My top earring was torn out.)
The band is able to instigate a lot of brutal frivolity, methinks. One guy landed on the floor face down when he stage dove, and broke his nose.
See them live if you can, but I would advise you not to stage dive if you are especially heavy, unfortunately. People will back away.
