Yeah, people sing the songs to show off. Like the girl sitting behind you is gonna want to have sex with you because you know every word to Breakerfall.
They love it when you sing Lukin.
Life has nothing to do with killing time.
So why be satisfied?
Could we try to tone it down with the singing already? Some songs are made to sing along (Better Man, Alive, etc). But I go to the shows to hear the band and Eddie sing, not a couple thousand Pearl Jam freaks who think they have to show off the fact that they know every word to every song.
is that you BostonLou ???? hahahah!
i met bostonlou before the philly 2 show in 06... he had pretty much no voice from singing/screaming at 1 hartford and 2 boston and the philly night 1 show
I don't mind the crowd singing, but I have been at shows for other bands where there is a drunk guy singing like crap behind me (Dave Matthews) or drunk people talking really loud during the whole show (Radiohead) and it drove me NUTS!!!
Well, I'm a less than young woman, who can't sing in tune, never remembers the lyrics, yells, waves her arms around and dances. Apologies to anyone sitting in front of me, behind me or either side at any music event I have ever been to. I probably had a lovely time.

. ved has a mic.. i doubt our singing is gonna flood out the dude with the mic turned up loud... It gives me chills the few times i could hear the crowd over ed .. (ie, present tense from Columbia) *goes to listen*
I've been going to concerts for almost 30 years. I've seen Rush several times. They're awesome and their fans are very loyal.
I don't mind standing. I'll sit for some songs if everyone else is, but would never ask anyone in front of me to sit down. us older guys still like to rock, but sometimes its nice to sit back and let the band do their thing too.
I'm older also. I think your request is silly, but I have a legit way to help you. Wear ear plugs. You will hear the band fine, but not everyone around you. This will work. I have to wear them, so I know. Asking fans, especially avid ones on this site, not to sing!! You should have known you'd get flamed.

I think I'm 180 degrees away from the OP's beliefs. Give me a crowd that sings along - SCREAMS along - and that is the key reason I love this band. Six guys on stage doesn't make a religious experience - 15,000 singing the same thing does!

How bout just not go lol I could say the same for the parents who have to bring their kids and are offended by the pot smoke... Seriously, if we can't sing or jump around, whats the point?
stop telling me what i can and cant do at a concert-
its either the sit down jerk offs, or the stop singin' assholes... or the jerk off parents who bring their 4 year old kids to shows freaking out on everyone to watch out for their puppies. A note to All of you- Go fuck yourselves, and buy the DVD. This is PEARL JAM- It's freedom baby- so suck it up, and shut the fuck up about what I can or can't do.

I don't wear the ear plugs because of singing fans around me!! I wear 'em to protect my ears. I love going to shows and seriously I enjoy the music better. I want everyone to sing their heart out.

I should have known I'd get this reaction. You know, some people are turned off by PJ fans because they are so obsessed!
Anyway, I've been going to concerts for nearly 30 years. I consider Pearl Jam my favorite band and they are one of the best I've seen. But I've seen a lot of other great concerts where the fans were awesome and sang along when you'd expect them to, but didn't yell every lyric as loud as they could through the whole show. but to each his own....

Alright I didn't take the time to translate it. I just saw "si si si si" and assumed it had to be the "yeah yeah yeah yeah" from The Fixer.
I was at one of the Blur gigs in Hyde Park. A guy beside me shusshed me as I was apparently singing too much and that he came there to hear Damon sing, not me. As you can imagine, I told him where to go. I can't help singing along. It's reactive. I love these songs so much. I did the same at Pearl Jam and will sing along if I know it. It's part of the experience. And hey, at least I sing in key

I never did sing anyway. Can't hold a tune to save me life. Never thought what I did constituted 'singing'. Hollerin, more like
NY-Eli's taught me how to use the word holler
and fiery hemorrhoids to those who taddle to security on smokers... for shame!
you must lead a miserable and pathetic life.
