and I wouldn't characterize it as a norm, but rather something I've observed on a number of occasions--and not just a quarter of a century ago. While it's true that I quit attending Bay Area subscription concerts and other musical events regularly when I moved north 16 years ago, I've been back frequently to visit family and friends and taken the opportunity to attend a number of concerts there, most recently a little under two years ago (when I also availed myself of the opportunity to make a pig of myself at both Skates and Fat Apple's). And your own observation that what you considered a journeyman (and much more recent) performance of Scheherezade evoked a thunderous ovation suggests that things haven't changed that much since.
