Edinburgh, Military Tattoo, Review

Good Points
Edinburgh is a beautiful city

Bad Points
Seating is extremely cramped Very poor sound

General Comments
I have never been so uncomfortable during a seated performance. The seating is very narrow (I'm an average sized person) Your knees hit the person in front and the person behind has their knees in your back. You are squashed from either side. I've waited years to see the Tattoo live, but it was a wasted journey. The performances this year were very average. No wow factor at all. The torrential rain didn't help. Performers did the best they could considering the conditions. I thought the whole thing was very amateurish, but then again maybe I've been spoiled watching the Chinese Olympics - probably the greatest show on earth. I'll watch the Tattoo again, but only on the TV.
