Prisoner of Rock 'n' Roll #2: James, Jones, Cocker & Bassinger.
Go on over there and turn on the light...no all the lights,
Now come back here and stand on this chair...that's right.
Raise your arms up in to the air...shake 'em
You give me a reason to live...--Randy Newman, You Can Leave Your Hat On (1972)

Prisoner of Rock 'n' Roll #1: Dancing in small spaces.
Below during the performance of "Rollin' and Tumblin'" at the May 2005 Cream reunion concerts in London, a man in his 30s or 40s dancing in the audience was briefly captured on film for about 12 seconds dancing respectfully and quite well--most humans dance stiffly but this one is on good terms with his own body--in the small space surrounding his seat at the Royal Albert Hall. See 2:32 through 2:45 on the clip. The band playing is not too shabby either.
Royal Albert Hall, May 4, 2005
