How do you all enjoy a Stones show or any other for that matter. Are you a dance in aisle kind of person? An air guitar maniac, on your feet clapping, sitting bobbing your head, do you sing along, fold your arms, or do you freak out?

When I was younger I used to be up fist pounding, air guitar for moments, lots of yelling. Now I am more the head bobbing, sometimes sitting, sometimes standing. Audiences are too well behaved now. If someone is standing while most are sitting people yell at them to sit. I miss festival seating.

Stand and sing along with every word of every song, make involuntary bodily jerks to the 'whip' part of Midnight Rambler, and dance if theres any room to.

Stubbornly and resolutely, stay in my chair and moan at anyone, who dares to stand up infront of me, looking like they're enjoying themselves.
Only leave my seat for the obligatory 4-5 piss breaks, and trips to the beer/burger stands.

Lots of Chicken Dancing. No air guitar. A lot of singing, clapping and jumping. But Chicken dancing is the main part of the performance.

(No sitting here in Spain. At least not in the pitch!)

chicken dancing?! ...like this?

I try to have fun and respect those around me. I leave for the restroom between songs and I DON'T TALK DURING THE GODDAMNED SHOW!!! The "me generation" here in the States is notorious for thinking they are in their own living rooms when they attend concerts.

do you mean they sit down for hours on end like couch potatoes watching TV, eating popcorn and farting?

I appreciate the warning

I make sure i'm up front, first couple of rows and then it's jumping clapping and everything for the first couple of numbers but after let's say the first slow number i start looking around and look for interesting stuff that's going on on stage. You know take more in instead of just looking at the show.

There is no way i'm going to take a piss break during a stones show or any other concert for that matter. A while back i attended the Status Quo concert in Holland. Great concert by the way. I really had to take a piss 20 minutes before they got on but i didn't because there was no way i could back to my friends (we were standing fith row) so i hold in twe whole damn show. Not a pleasant way to enjoy a concert.

Cheers,
Wuudy

IMO if you are annoyed by people talking around you then the PA volume is quite low to be a Rolling Stones gig... I'm not talking about being left deaf, but people usually have to shout to be heard: you can't hear them over the music when talking at normal conversation levels. (?)

I dance, sing, and have a wonderful time. It's is after all ONLY ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!!! If you want to sit at a rock concert, do so. But don't try to ruin everyone else's good time!!!!!!! If I see Harry Connick Jr., I sit. I don't see how anyone could sit during "Start Me Up"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

easier to roll a joint that way?

Heavily sedated.

I think I must be very funny to watch during a Stones concert because I go between dancing, singing, waving, yelling and putting my camera up and down, take a picture, hide the camera, pull out binoculars, sing, dance, pull out the camera, wave again, more binoculars( even when I'm WAY up FRONT. I like to see all of the little subtle movements and looks exchanged ). When the guards start to notice my camera I get more animated so as to make them think I never had a camera, I've been dancing!! I never go out to get a drink, never take my eyes off the stage!

i gotta dance!!!!

I never leave a show unless I'm bored. Or unless you need to go to the bathroom for other reasons. If your on the floor forget about it. Stones shows are less than 2 hours anyways.

A guy was doing his chicken dance last year at Eric Clapton's show and all he did was obstruct everyones view and make an ass out of himself. Most white people can't dance anyways. Especially drunk.

At the Stones show in 97, we had eight floor seats next to the center stage and two girls decided that they wanted to stand on their chairs for an extended period of time. After about 1 song asked them to get down and they refused so we told them if they did not get down we were going to knock them down and after a chair shaking warning, they got the picture.

If I get some coke and sympathy I'll be on fire at the gigs.

But, MicksBrain, blue valiums are memory eracers. You'll have a great time but remember nothing. How about a good old fashioned hit of acid instead?

I went to a Dylan show with a group of buddies so jacked up on meth that we ran our mouths through the whole damn concert. People around us complained to the ushers, and rightfully so. I'll never do that again.

Hey Lukester,

How were you able to stand still? I couldn't

Hello my Mediterranean island dwelling friend,
We didn't either. We had a blast. I was all over the place.

I don't think that I have ever seen a Stones show straight, Keith probably hasn't either.

Hey Sicilian,

Ditto

The last show I saw straight was Three Dog Night, 1971, I was 13.

Surprisingly, though, I can remember even the smallest of details from every show I've seen.

Yeah, you're right Lukester but street stuff worries me a bit. What if the acid came from a bad batch made by the short attention span GWB twins in their basement in Austin? You just KNOW those gals are not using the best quality ingredients so they can make higher profits - runs in the family. Now, on the other hand, if that acid came super pure from the CIA labs that would be a different story all together - that could be a big thumbs up deal maker for me for sure.....

I love Three Dog Night. I think they are one of the most underrated bands of the 70's. Granted they did not write any of their hits, which is really weird, but they put the music to it.

I saw Chuck Negron at a free outdoor show in Buffalo a few years ago. Corey Wells (who is from Buffalo) plays here occasionally.

What ever happened to THC??

LOL... MicksBrain you sound like you might know a little too much about it

ha ha I'd be a little scared of the CIA stuff, part of their method of operation, I'm guessing, is they dose unsuspecting participants. What a bad way to trip. Now if somehow you had a heads up, that might be different.

Oh god, I hear someone breathing in my computer...I think they're listening MicksBrain...we've probably said too much already. Ever since our president started those unwarranted wire taps, I keep... uh oh, gotta go.

My Mediterranean friend said, "What ever happened to THC??"

In crystal form? I never saw much of it. Unfortunately some unscrupulous dealers would sell PCP as THC. It messed up a high school buddy of mine real bad. We're talking permanent damage. Kids, let this be a lesson.

anybody remember rio?

thats the way ahaaha I like it..

you're losing me swampy fish fry... do tell more



please

My problems with Stones concerts is "The Day After".

It's the same when you wake up in the morning, and have to think very deeply, what was it, where I dreamed about.
