My sole complaint is the bitch of a woman next to me. She stood with her arms folded across her chest for the entirety of the show. I wouldn't be complaining about her, however, if she hadn't complained about and mocked my behavior. Yeah, I move around a lot. Yeah, I jump, dance, pump my fist, bang my head and sing my lungs out. You know why?? I'M AT A FUCKING ROCK CONCERT. Do people like this get dragged along to these shows or what? Who spent hard-earned money on a ticket for this soulless beast? Why are her friends not kicking her ass? Ok, ok, I'll stop.

I'd be annoyed too. The people who "sing their lungs out" dont realize how annoying it is to be standing next to them. If I can hear you over Chris, it's too loud. You have the right to enjoy yourself, just like she does, as long as it doesnt bother the next person. As far as jumping around, as long as you're not constantly bumping into me and trying to get a pit started, I dont care.

I know what most people will say because we have this "me first" attitude in this country, but is it so hard to have some respect for the next person's enjoyment even if that person is a stranger?

Well said! :clap: I'm not knocking anyone for enjoying themselves at a show. Whether it be jumping around, singing along, etc. it's a rock show...I do the same thing. You are supposed to let loose and have fun. But at the same time, you have to do that without costing those a round you a good time. I thought for the most part, the SG crowd in Chicago was really good. As always there were some dipshits but for the most part very good crowd. Energetic but not assholes.

Lol, I don't think anyone could hear anything over how loud this show was. Secondly, I would argue that this woman interfered more with my experience than I did hers. I had more respect for her experience (although I'd also argue she didn't even have an experience) than she did for mine. I barely had any room and I still respected her space and she still complained to her friend about me. THIS WOMAN DIDN'T EVEN CLAP ONCE!

In this case, even if someone had a megaphone with them, I don't think they could have overshadowed Chris. It was loud in there! :shock:

Thank you. Trust me, hearing me over Chris was NOT the problem.

Agreed. The rules previously discussed regarding singing at shows have to be amended for this one. I have seen a lot of shows in my time and I don't remember anything this loud. I think Chris can hit notes that only dogs can hear. Matt's drums sounded awesome...like rhythmic bombs going off. Ben's bass rattled the floor and Kim...well Kim is just Kim. I'm so glad these guys are back at it again and can't wait to hear the new stuff.

Yes, the woman who never smiled, sporadically mocked my behavior in small outbursts with her arms folded across her chest the rest of the time...she was taping.

She did a shitty job if she was a taper...she left for 30 minutes of the show.
