Like you, I like a lot of bands where I am on the older side of the fandom. A lot of the shows I go to I play a game where I try to find someone who looks my age or older. It's getting more difficult to win at this game as time goes on. But. I'm still at the show having a (mostly) good time.
Crowds are starting to ruin shows for me, though. So many people talking throughout the show, including headliners, and only stopping for the popular songs (if they even stop). I constantly get bumped into as people go back and forth to the bar. And yeah, back/leg pain from standing too long is also a factor.
I haven't sworn off shows, but I will be a little more picky about which shows I buy tickets for. The venue and time of year also plays a part in the selection, too.
I absolutely love this. That is all I have to say.
I agree. You are not too old for this.
And neither am I, despite what I say.
