Ditto Paul and Pawel; this "experiment", which I recall reading about

I had a similar reaction, noticing that he was right inside of the door
as people were entering
which guaranteed that people would have momentum to move past him,
whereas, he could have set up
right next to where the trains come in so that people would have been
forced, in this setting, to listen more.
This reminds me of when Worlds Collide once did a gig opening up for
Cher of all weird things at a huge corporate party.
They literally had us play on a large ledge above the entrance to the
buidling so that everyone
entering the party passed underneath us. I was dismayed because we
were set up
to 'fail' merely by our location and, sure enough, hardly anyone
listened to us (and I thought we
were pretty original and pretty good).
Cher, parenthetically, had a rack of 6 autotune units which I found
hilarious and
was still more entertaining that when we opened up for Kenny G at a
corporate event.
