I went to a concert last night at a big outdoor venue and tickets on the lawn. They had roving beer guys pushing carts around, and one of the guys had a freaking whistle he would blow as he circulated with his beers. I was a bit extra upset at the institutionally sanctioned nature of the interruption.
Ahh, see my problem with rock shows is the 400+ pound men who take off their shirts in the middle of the mosh pit and sweat onto everyone.
Although I go to ska shows, so people talking would be pretty hard to hear.
Seriously! I once went to a Decemberists show where a group of teenage girls shouted to each other through about 80% of it, even when shouting was completely unnecessary to be heard. I'm all for people having a good time, but geez - what's the point of being there?!
Another completely different show had this guy singing every single word through every single song, loudly, into his friend's ear - in a jokingly loving sort of way. One song was vaguely amusing, but dude, you could've done that to the CD at home.
Part of my mind is working on a system to reward people who display self-awareness and restraint in situations like these. People like us, who should be revered as GODS
