What is the biggest thing at a show that just drives you crazy?
Nothing drives me more crazy then when people yell out their song requests between songs. Nobody cares what song you want to hear and no one wants to hear you yell it all night long. Shut the fuck up and enjoy the show.
Funny thing. I was at Ozzfest in 1998 and this wasted dude with no shirt on kept yelling Sevendust the whole show. No matter what band was playing he thought it was Sevendust. It was hilarious. He would yell, “Fuck yea, Sevendust!” And start rocking out every song. Wasted people are horrible too but this one was funny.
Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

Tall people in front
Talking during songs
Pot smokers
Tobacco smokers
Shirt off saggy tit guys, even worse with nipple rings
Beard braids
Cup of chaw spit left on the ground
Pukers, especially in indoor seated venues, yeah Boston Puke. IM TALKING ABOUT YOU
The damn exit time from parking lots, especually Alpine Valley, maybe the worst venue to leave ever
Merch lines that are both long and sell out 2 people before you get your turn, see any pearl jam show
That flipper SOB niners fan
Auidiece snobs like me telling you how to enjoy a show
Drink spills that seap down into your row and having sticky feet all night
Jumbotrons, lets be real we look at the damn screen more than the real person
Ticketmaster. LONG LIVE ETM!
Oh yeah. Headline acts getting pissed at you for not liking the shitty openeing bandPost edited by hrd2imgn on0 -
At PJ in San Francisco in 06 at the Bill Graham, dudes kept passing full piss bottles forward or you would find them knocked over all over the floor. Nasty bastards. 🤮Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.0

Filming the whole show on smartphones.When I saw Soundgarden this guy blocked my view of Chris Cornell because his arm was up holding his phone.Adelaide 17/11/2009, Melbourne 20/11/2009, Sydney 22/11/2009, Melbourne (Big Day Out Festival) 24/01/20140

Drunk people in the pit.At Pearl Jam's Adelaide concert in 2009 this guy spoiled In My Tree for me and others because he kept aggressively backing into people and pushing. It took me and a few others to help security pull him out to get rid of him.

Crowd surfers suck bad. Trying to watch the show and having to stand sideways because people will fall on your head if your not paying attention.Smart phones period. Keep them in your pocket. Unless your the cool dude in the balcony getting great footage of the show for YouTube. On the floor or in a standing location keep the god damn phone in your pocket.Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.0

People invading your space when they don't belong in the section.

Those that yell sing the lyrics to every song. I get you are enthusiastic, but maybe give your pipes a break on the slow ones at least?Pittsburgh 2013

Bad B.O. in the GA. Wow there are some ripe PJ fans. Deodorant works folks.Of course, it can really suck if you are close to someone who smells like they shit themselves... the struggle is real, especially for the ladies 5’5” and shorter in GA who are a little closer to your stench.0

The anxious thinking about how to get home afterwards and if you will be able to catch a bus/tram/subway before they stop going for the night."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0

Gas. Happens all the time and add to it I'm short. Y'all that's the air I get-- green fog.
Puking. In my case, I got the Wrigley 1 2016 field puker. There was a breeze. It came at me. It was gross.
I hate to say that if you are tall you should stand in the back. That is kind of unfair, but when you decide to stand in front of someone 5' tall and you are clearly a foot and a half taller, that sucks.
The phone, the fact no one turns the brightness down and it wants to burn a hole into my retina. Facebook will survive without you constantly checking. I'm not on it, but I'm pretty sure it'll be okay.
Beer fucking runs. When you are in the seats and you run back and forth 12x for beer, everyone in your row hates you.
I find that at outdoor shows, guys feel the need to put their hands on my shoulders, call me sweetie and physically move me so they can get through. I stand in crowd, not walkways. Perhaps use the walkway.
Do not play with my hair. That would be Cincy 2014. 3+ hours. Not cool.2014: Cincinnati

Tall people shouldn't be stuck to the back just because they are tall. Short folks shouldn't just always expect to be up front.2014: Cincinnati

That's fair. I always look behind me to make sure I'm not blocking someone's view and move a bit to the side to clear the person behind me's line of sight if I'm totally blocking it.

I hate when people sit on someone's shoulders to get a clear view. That is totally inconsiderate.
