The Grand Ole Opry was splendid - everybody who went had a great time! It was a bit strange - the show is broadcast live on radio (WSM - the Opry's own station) and one hour of it is on tv as well. They do radio commercials as matter of course during the entire show and during the tv segments you can see the camera men on & around the stage doing their thing. And the stage hands changing the stage set-up between each act. They also show the audience on the tv, but we weren't close enough to the stage to be seen on camera.
Even though we had "nose bleed" seats in the balcony, we had a 8+ foot tv screen near us so we could always see the stage up close when we wanted. And the audio was, well, like being there!
