Yeah guy here. Of course that preference for having my space respected goes out the window for festivals. And a guy should never touch a woman at a show without permission. There are times it cant be avoided in big crowds but that is it.

Accidental touch-- I get that. These are not accidental. 

I want to be touched damn it!!!

If I see you at a show, I will give you a hug.

Hugs are always appreciated, TY.

I had a guy grab my junk at a concert, I can only take it as it was an accident because when I yelled 'WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!" he turned around and dismissed it as nothing, either that or the fact that I was a foot taller and built a wee bit better than he was...

Thought of this thread last night.

Mid 1st set our GA area built a nice communal vibe, had a good energy flow going together. Who but cigarette smoking, whiskey smelling, lip packing Kevin Youkilis/Stone Cold Steve Austin wannabe MF stumbles in like a bouncing bumble to check out his first jam band show. Parks his big shiny bowling ball six inches in front of my face and deflates the whole thing for all of us. Mindless mess. Don’t be that guy lol, I went for piss break next song. Didn’t see him after that, he probably passed out or the cops got him.

Drunks that want to fight - Learn how to drink in public moron. Drunks that pass out and have to get medical attention. Seriously? Why are you there? 
People that have no regard for your personal space and just walk wherever - on your poster, running into you etc.
People that attempt to film the entire show in a section full of noise. Um- that bootleg's gonna suck shit - you should stop. 
WOO!!! girls Every now and then I get it - it's not annoying, but after every song? Come on!
People that yell out song titles they want to hear or "I LOVE YOU..." in between songs and/or when someone onstage is talking. 
People that try to bum your weed. Buy your own mooch. The one joint I bring in ain't getting all 6 of you & your posse stoned.
If it's one or 2 of you, you're in luck  -if you partake. I don't mind sharing in small numbers. Sometimes they also share -
People that get overzealous with what other people are doing and think they're part of Security. Ran into an acquaintance at a show last year and he tried to police the only walkway between the floor and stairs the ENTIRE show.

That’s why I eat an edible right before I go in and bring my vape. Share with my crew but no one knows it’s a weed vape and thinks it’s a tobacco one. Legal weed is one thing California has going for it.

I can't remember if it was the Columbus show or Lexington show that I was at...we were hanging out near the back of GA and some guy came through the crowd walking right toward me.  He passed out like 3 feet in front of me and hit me dead on really hard.  His head and shoulders came down on my shouldeer/chest and just about knocked me over. My first reaction was defensive but he was out cold.  Security got him up and marched him out but goddamn that dude was trashed.

Damn, that sounds awful. Saw a dude zip tied and being carried out face down by 4 Security Guards at Metallica in Raleigh last year. There's a venue in VA I now avoid due to having dealt with some aggressive crowds at a few shows there. I've also heard some pretty funny shit on some DMB, PJ & RHCP bootlegs. One of my favorite moments from LA 1 2013 is when Ed blasted the chick for shooting bows in the pit (after Corduroy I think):

dont love, at SOME shows, the lack of energy from the crowd. I get not "moshing" or jumping around like a fucking lunatic, but have some movement or energy to your presence. Really can drop the show feel overall...

People that smoke weed with no regard to who is right around them.

Floor at Wells Fargo at one of the 2013 shows.  Wife is pregnant.  Dudes burn joints the entire time in the row in front of us.

I pointed out that she was pregnant and they didn't stop.  I am not a narc and they at least offered me in on the smoke if I wanted, but it was fucked up.  You are smoking what were illegal drugs at the time.  You were smoking indoors.  Every other song.  I have done so and I am not the concert/fun police...and I do not care if you smoke weed, or PCP, knock yourself out....but for fucks sake have some sort of community sense and don't get an unborn child second hand baked. 

(Or hold in more of the smoke?  It was like Robert Parish and Alaa Abdelnaby were acting out their Chief & Chong routine in the row in front of us.)

I totally agree. I should've added that I don't smoke at indoor venues. I try to respect everyone's space around me and also don't want to risk getting tossed out.

People that sing. I couldn't shut up at a Vedder solo show once (and trust me - I'm no singer... the first act of autonomy my kid expressed was a request that I STOP singing lullabys). Fortunately, Ed caught on and sang a sing-a-long.

I took a video with myself singing along during a song where the crowd was all singing.
Hearing the playback put a stop to my singing along loudly unless it is to one of the parts where everyone sings.

Drunk and/or high people. Period.

I personally never understood sober...it's such a fine line...

I never understood drunk. But high!! Hell yes. Every time.

Was just thinking about the weed "issue" and a simple solution would be to sell edibles at venues where recreational marijuana is legal. Can you imagine the prices, lol?

You took your pregnant wife to a rock concert with floor seats and were offended that people were smoking a ton of pot? Were you also offended that they were dancing and having a good time? Someone stand up the whole time and block your view? That is what happens at rock concerts.  There is also a 10% chance someone would bump into her, spill their beer on her, pee on her, or even puke on her. These things happen at rock concerts.

I can always count on an assumption filled response here.
Didn't say I was offended.  Didn't call security.
Didn't say anything about people having a good time, dancing, nor standing.
We were not in GA.  We were in seats.  Nobody was bumping into her, I was there to block that as much as could be reasonably expected.  She was in the middle of the pregnancy and it posed no physical risk to her.
I also didn't object to people doing drugs - just don't be a fucking asshole and make your personal (illegal) choices the choice for everyone around you.  
This is simple.
If you cannot perceive a difference between those things and breaking the law (drugs) and breaking the venue rules as well as local standards (smoking indoors) you are unable to carry on a conversation of any merit.
Congratulations.
