3. People that won't set down.
4. $40. T shirt that are too small
5. Friends that's bail on me and force me to go alone.
6. $8.beer
That's pretty good start. I rarely go to live shows any more. If I do go it's usually a smaller venue. Eric
I don't know, it be a rowdy town sometimes.This would never happen at an Edmonton Symphony Orchestra gig.
I don't know, it be a rowdy town sometimes.
Two of the worst concert goer examples I've seen were at classical events.
One was at an ESO show. A bunch of us were waiting in line in the bathroom during a break, and an old guy walked in, butted right past everybody, dropped his pants to the floor(completely), and went to town. Lets just say his urinal aim skills were a little rusty.
The other was at a small group show at Con Hall.
One guy chatted to his pretend friend for a good part of the show. And then fell asleep and snored up a storm.
He woke up during the final applause, and yelled out, "Is the movie OVER?!".
Well, there were the (two?) fires @ Comiskey Park (Chicago) during Jeff Beck's portion of a big day of rock @ Comiskey Park. It was hot enough already. Actually, the fire(s) didn't bug me so much and I moved ot a much better (viewing) vantage point in the outfield, not far from the right-center field wall.
Too loud and and or distorted sound. Everything else is secondary.
1. People that whistle and scream during an obviously quiet song!
2. The last couple of concerts I've been to I find that some people think it's OK to engage in banter with the performer! Also, they seem to think the performer doesn't' know how to put together a set list! Just shut up and they'll probably get around to your song! One performer actually had to say "did you just request a song I've already played?"
The jerk behind us that kept yelling "Eruption!...play Eruption!!" through the whole Van Halen concert even right after Eddie had just played it!
The people that stand on their floor seats through the whole damn concert. Guess what, with everyone on the seats the view is the same just a lot less comfortable.
BS - I am an adult and keep my phone in my pocket -Most concerts say no photography etc. but people still do it. I have been to a local place, The Ark, and they will actually take people's phones. I think if people have phones with them, they should be checked at the door.
This + everything else. One of the reasons, I rarely waste money on live shows anymore.assholes
Agreed - just bad manners and poorly raised folks.Too bad 95% of the cell phone people are not like you. Most have them glued to their ears and whip them out to take pics.
