I think that it's best to write more on this matter, it won't be a taboo subject however generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next.

But I've been to mostly obnoxiously loud rock shows. I take that back; maybe I've seen one too many rock shows. In the past year I've seen BB King and John Prine at the Sangamon Auditorium. At both shows some drunks (yes, I am stereotyping drunks) had to be escorted out or addressed by security. It really depends on the venue and the type of crowd participation. For example: It's much more acceptable to scream like a 13 year old girl at the Hannah Montana concert than a Ryan Adams concert. Or that's the opinion I got from all the ssh's. So in summary, everyone should sit in their seats like good little boys and girls during the show, and maybe we'll play heads up 7up afterwards.

Hands down one of my biggest annoyances is audience members who can't shut up during a concert. It's one thing when you're at a bar where a band just happens to be playing. It's an entirely different thing when you've actually purchased tickets and everyone around you has purchased tickets. Talkers ruin the show for just about everyone around them. It's why I've never been a big fan of getting bloffo before or during concerts. If I'm really interested in seeing musicians play, I want to remember the show and cherish it. You know? I can get drunk anywhere. Heck, I just about have. Definitely. Hands down one of my biggest annoyances is audience members who can’t shut up during a concert.

He played two nights and I went to the one on the second night. It was at a venue (the Chicago Theater) that normally served drinks. In fact, drinks had been served the first night. Apparently, the crowd got a little too loud under the influence and Neil decreed there would be no dinking for night two. I (and not a few others in the audience)was a little disappointed that the event was dry, but I understood, even as Neil deliberately drank a bottle of Budweiser on stage to taunt us.
