    Must be something about Boston. I had a girl puke on the ground, directly in front of me at Fenway this year.

    Better:  When I saws Hendrix at Winterland in '68, this big bear of a guy brought in a huge staff decorated with leather strips and feather and what not- a sort of aboriginal/ native thing- that he pounded on the floor throughout the whole show while screaming at the top of his lungs.  I managed to work my way away from the guy before I lost a few toes (hopefully no one else was a victim).  I don't think that's allowed in shows anymore. 
    Lol
    This kind of crazy shit is what makes concerts fun. I don’t give a shit what anybody does as long as they aren’t touching anyone, so yep, no assaults and we good. Also, if you’re smoking  weed you should offer to the people around you.

    Applies to most things in life:  Don't be an asshole.

    Rather have people farting than puking though.

    Rather have people farting than puking those. 
    I’ve never been around a puker, but probably every other big show I go to has me near the guy who had White Castles at lunch and three burritos for dinner.

    - Always pass the water back into the crowd. Don't hog the water in the front row.

    Another one is don't spend the whole time talking throughout the show, especially intimate gigs.  It's just rude!

    Somethings are worse these days, some better.

    Worse:  Cell phones and cell phone cameras.  Very irritating! 

    I was at a gig once and there was a guy filming from his ipad.  Who on earth brings an ipad to a concert?!  :o

    True story.

    At a Ghost show there were 3 guys behind me and my buddy chatting through the first 4 songs.  I finally turned around and said "These guys are loud, but you guys are actually louder."

    One of them apologized and said "I get it" and they went further on into GA.

    Rest of the show was perfect.

    If you are 6-foot-fucking-7 tall and you see me standing with a clear view in front of me, WWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY is that THE ONLY spot that you feel you HAVE to stand on the entire floor?  Move to the god damn back you tall asshole motherfucker.  If you're NBA height, you don't need to be up front. EVER.

    And yeah, obviously anyone has the right to stand where they want if its GA.  But come on.  You're a foot taller than me?  Have the common god damn courtesy to not stand right the fuck in front of me.  The worst is when they look right at you, then stand in front of you anyway like they don't give a shit if you can see or not.
