People were texting during the show???

I like to look around at the crowd during the show to see the energy. to my left everyone on the first row of the bowl were texting or playing with their phones.
Before Neil came out last night in toronto, the guy to my left was texting during RITFW.
Is this normal? Sorry I don't give a crap about other people, but was blown away by this.
Is it just me?

I don't feel the need to text my buddy who's not at the show that Neil was there. I'd wait till I got home to tell him
DEGENERATE FUK

Wash me in the blood of Rock & Roll
If we wanna whine about something, floor "seats" are sooooo lame. The number of times i had an usher shine that damn light in my face because of how fiercely policed the floor is pure silliness. Last night was first time on the floor and not impressed at all. Really sucks the energy from a set being babysat the whole time. Bring back some general admission areas and let the whiners go into the bleachers.
This is it exactly!! And a bit hypocritical that there are hordes of people on this very forum who insist on knowing the setlist as it happens and too many people at the show willing to oblige.
I text during shows. It beats the hell out of talking over a song, doesn't it? I think hearing about someone's cat in an obnoxious conversation behind me is far more annoying than a little LED light 3 seats down.
Don't listen to me, though, I'm the girl who sometimes wears Pearl Jam shirts to Pearl Jam shows, so I know what my opinion is worth.
You're one of those!! How disgusting.
It's just the way folks are today, oblivious to how rude their actions might be to those around them.
Manager was interviewing a new college grad and the kid took and sent an IM during the interview. Didn't think twice about it. He will now, interview immediately ended -- kid had no concept that that would be percieved as rude, apologized profusely as he was shown the door.
O.M.G! That's like, so unfair!
I think you hit the nail on the head. People can be completely oblivious that their actions are having any impact on anyone else. I understand how this happens, there's many a time I've found myself in my own little world reading emails, playing that stupidly addicting bird game, etc. If only they would think to dim their displays it wouldn't be so much of a distraction, and maybe even go unnoticed.
see i could understand for a quiet show being bother by people talking and texting but at a rock concert oh well. i remember at the adele concert there was so many people singing even her very slow songs to the point that you could even hear Adele sing. i was pissed.
a quick mini conversation here and there doesn't bother me, but at PJ20 night 2 there were some clowns behind us talking thru a song. we moved dwon the lawn to get away from them. :?
I don't give a damm about those people, I just wanna rock!

LOVED no service at Alpine. Just the music, no interruptions
This basically. Maybe someone has a bunch of twitter followers who want to know what's going on - not everyone who likes Pearl Jam is on this board. As long as they're not bugging me (like clapping their hands over the space of 3 seats including in my face or spilling beer on my feet - and yes its happened) I don't care what they do.

Behind me there was this little turd nugget texting through the whole show.
Dear idiot teen in the blue hat.... Why the fuck were you even there. You made me mad that the seat you were in was wasted on a stupid little turd like yourself. I hope next time PJ plays and whoever took you leaves you the fuck at home.
It may look like i am ignoring the show for moments at a time..... please do not give me grief for texting!

Haha Todd! Too funny. Shame on you for texting! LOL
Cant wait to see ya again!
