Millionaires truly delivered in their performance on Sept. 12. They were full of energy and obviously played their hearts out for Bakersfield fans. My huge complaint is to the audience.

It began with the crowders. People began to crowd and stand on the stage. They were in everyone's way and blocked the performance of Big City Kids. At the end of their set, the stage manager told everyone to move back to make room for the crowders in front of the stage. I was glad to see that no one moved. Who has more of a right to stand in front of the stage: people who crowded or people who stood in their spot for at least an hour. It is unfair to the people who wanted to see Millionaires up close.

There was no respect for the anyone in the crowd. To the people blocking the view of the stage, to the people yelling ridculous request to have real fans move back. My friend was pushed to the floor about 3 times. There was no respect to a person.

The most appaling display of disrespect occurred during Millionaires' set. Millionaires are known to allow fans to jump on stage. People rushed to the stage the moment their first song started. What they did was push people to the ground in order to jump on stage for about two seconds. My sister wasa nearly trampled and is bruised because people pushed her to the ground. Its a terrible thought that people would hurt each other just to jump on a stage for such a short period of time. The men that were there showed no respect towards the girls of Millionaires. They groped them and that was such a disgusting act by them. I will be very surprised if Millionaires will ever come back.
