I admit I am a snob, if "snob" means that by paying over $100 for a ticket to see my favorite band I am expected to endure idiots who talk through the entire show, or worse, constantly fiddle with their cellphones, or feel the need to obstruct my view by "dancing".
I'm with you on this Tele...pisses me off big time when @#$%& dance and sing in front of me - like their concert experience is more valuable than mine
Yes, amazing how some people see their right to "express themselves" by "dancing" or talking trumps our right to actually enjoy the performance we paid to see. Many great concerts have been ruined (or nearly so) for me by this behavior.
How the hell can you go to a Rolling Stones show and not dance????? That's crazy.

A good reason to smuggle in a bottle or two. These @#$%& make for good target practice. I've scored a few direct hits in my time.

If your a dude over 40. Dancing is for the girls. Listening is for the fellas. Only idiots would embarrass themselves by trying to dance.
You can look at narcissism from both sides, do you have a right to tell someone dancing to stop enjoying themselves? We are talking about The Rolling Stones, not a Pink Floyd concert.Quote

No, what's crazy is to think that someone's need to dance overrides other people's desire and right to see the show. That's pure narcissism. Unfortunately it is also typical of many concert-goers in this day and age.

Opening night Bigger Bang, Boston...
First row half empty. A couple walks in after a few songs. Cheering, taking photos, leaves after 1 hour...
Had 2nd row and watched the madness.
Would even be better if Fanasylum had access to those seats.

That's why I'll never understand Americans and their seated stadium shows. All of the stadium shows I've seen in Europe had only general admission, standing tickets on the field. If someone wishes to sit during the show they could buy a ticket in the stands. I can never imagine watching rock and roll show at the seats.

Is this for real?? or some kind of ironic comments?? When i go to see the Stones and have paid £150 to see the band i want to sing and dance to every number! Enjoy the moment! If you want to sit and listen in silence and not participate stay at home and pop on a Bigger Bang DVD.
