The constant yelling, the drinking too much, the standing up when everyone behind your dumb ass is sitting & can't see anything but YOUR DUMB ASS, the fight to get up front, the fight to get on stage, the URGENCY that the night is all about YOU. All that shit irks me to no end. & the cell phone taping/photoing too - it will look shitty & nobody cares!! Just enjoy the fucking show & appreciate what the artist is doing in front of you at that very moment, not what you can show your friends later. They won't care, b/c if they did they would have come to the show exclaim

Idiots...
heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

nod I don't know how it started, except it was probably a super-popular request song in, say, the '70s. So now it's a joke. Like when I was in the Punk Rock Orchestra...there were 50 punked out people on stage, and we're obviously only playing classic punk rock songs. And somebody in the audience shouts "FREE BIRD!"

It's hilarious. It's such a dumb predictable joke, I still find it funny every time I hear it. giggle

I like GA shows; actually much prefer them.
I'm pretty cool with everyone except the frat-boy crashing to the front and anybody who spills their drink, barfs or throws a punch or assault my way. I still got enough "ghetto" to throw down if it comes down to it, but I much prefer bellowing "Security, I think we have a problem!" It's a total blast seeing that idiot escorted out.

Don't wear the T shirt of the band you see, it's just in poor taste even if its a vintage 1977 Police t shirt from their 1st cbgb's gig.... you still look like you are trying to hard.


Have you ever said this to a complete stranger? eek

At the freebie a little while ago some chick had her girlfriend on her shoulders and I was standing there trying to figure out how to politely tell her to drop the wife so I could see. Then out of nowhere some random man taking pics says,"Baby girl, baby girl you need to move. All I see is ass. I can't have ass all in my picture."

So yeah, the shoulders thing is a no no. Shirt or no shirt.

Oh, and I understand some couples get in the mood at shows, but I don't need a live show beside me.

Well basically im pretty much done with General Admission shows for the same reason that theres always going to be the "asshole" who shows up 15 minutes before the show and is surprised by the line, and then he will try to push through during the show, did this crap too many times at Prince shows, and the way he is going i doubt he is gonna be doing any GA shows in the near future. Lately especially this year ive been seeing shows at the Beacon alot and a couple at BB kings some were GA but most were seated shows special for the artist playing. But i think my biggest thing with concerts is the whole selling of alcohol at events, this would go for sporting events too, though i know it will never happen, that shit should be banned, go get drunk after the show. One of the main reasons i hate that is everytime i see an artist that has been around and they have a new record, everytime they say "this is a new one" and they start playing a new song, JOE DICKHEAD decides he's gonna get up and go get another drink, so just because this guy doesnt know the artist past 1980 i have to keep getting up and down.


I think we've been to many of the same shows smile

The Beacon is a great venue, by the way. Last show I saw there was The Swell Season (the cast from the movie, Once). BB King's is nice, but I hate being forced to eat or drink for a seat.

I had to get up 11 times at the Van Halen show at MSG so some jackasses could get more beer. It's awful.

There really isn't much etiquette to concerts any more.
That's why I mostly attend shows by older artists like the Eagles.
Since we're all old fogies who are in attendance,
weare there in that stadium for one reason & one reason only.
To smoke pot freely with a giant group of people.

When will they build a venue where mobile phones don't work at all?

Prince or not I want to see the band not a phone glow!

And please shut the bar once the band start playing, what is so great about throwing a nearly full plastic glass of beer in the air? I don't want to go home stinking like a pub floor
oh mama I wish I could resist ...

i think the only time it's okay to boo a band is when the band is being rude to the audience first.

Exactly. What they dish out to the fans is what they get back in return.

i was scrollin waiting for someone to mention that. i have no problem with folks drinkin...shoot, i love to drink at shows but if you dont have good balancing skills or want to breakdance on the floor then don't buy a drink...

and folks, if you want to be high during a show then smoke up...before you hit the floor...it irks the hell out of me to smell folks puff puff during a show...i dont need to be failing any drug tests because your arse wanted to be blizzed...i will never forget hanging out with miquelgomez during a nikka show and some fool kept lighting up...not once...not twice but three times...i finally had to tell security to get after the fool. UGH!!! I hate that!!! If I can't smoke my cig you can't blaze!!! pissed
