Seems like it could happen, I remember a scene in Dont Look Back when dylan talked about an audience clapping and how odd it would be if they didnt clap at the end of a song, if they just sat there. I am sure this has happened once at one concert, maybe not to dylan, but to someone else.
Anyone seen anything like that? A crowd being awfully rude to a performer? Booing?
Anyone seen any scenes like the Bright Eyes video for Four Winds?
I saw Sonic Youth open for PJ at San Fran III in 06. Oddly enough this was a band people should have had standing ovations for before, during and after the gig. But strangely, the audience acted like they were seeing or hearing this band for the first time, and thought Sonic Youth's unconventional and unorthodox tunings and guitar noodlings were bizaare. I remember people booing, someone throwing trash on stage, and people louding saying "bring Pearl Jam on!". It was surreal. This was a band, that is and was a huge influence on PJ and the whole grunge scene, and they were being treated like some third rate lounge act. I was ashamed.

Needless to say, the Slayer fans loved it.
I've never seen so many bottles thrown or heard booing like it.
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
singer from Oxbow often gets in fights with the crowd.
lots of old punk/hardcore shows in the 80s and 90s were full of violence toward the performers or the audience themselves.
...For Boom, anyways.
Actually, (and not just to bash them becasue everyone here seems to despise them), I saw Nickleback (It was a festival, dont throw anything at me!), and the crowd was kinda heckling/booiing/indifferent to the point that the lead singer left the stage before the last song was over with a look of disgust on his face. it was about 95 degrees that day and everyone was waiting for the deftones and STP to come out.
That's how a lot were at the NY State Fair in 2006 when i saw em open for the Flaming Lips.
Honestly, I am like a lot of people at these aforementioned shows that just thinks they're plain ol boring despite being critics' darlings. I'd never disrespect an act like that though.

the best moment came when a member of this group yelled, "are you ready for our last song?" (poor choice of words on her part) and the audience shouted back with a resounding, "YES!"
good times.
I was saying boo-urns
Also when I saw Arcade Fire last year, most of the crowd were fairly indifferent to Wildlight and Clinic the opening bands, I was rocking out to Clinic quite a bit and the two people sat next to me wern't happy got up, went to the bar and didn't come back till just before Arcade Fire came on.

My first concert was Pearl Jam at Pittsburgh in 2000 when Sonic Youth was set to open.
Eddie came out to do a couple solo songs and announced that Kim and Thurston had to leave due to a family situation. I swear I heard a girl scream for joy at that moment.
I on the other hand was bummed that I didn't get to see all of Sonic Youth in action, though they were still quite good minus Kim and Thurston.
That would be sweet. Easily the best voice in the band.
Clinic fan, awseome. Internal Wrangler is a classic.
Ha ha! I was at that gig and know exactly what you mean.
The first 75% of the gig was great. Billy seemed on form, despite the fact that the place was embarrassingly half empty. There was even some chit-chat & banter with the crowd!!!
But the longer the night went on, you could feel Billy's mood changing and always felt there was gonna be no encore.
On a brighter note, it worked out well for me. Had there been an encore, I'd have missed the last train home!!
Every cloud...
PJ albums, at the moment!! -

The opening act for pearl jam i nCopenhagen (2007) was the Futureheads"... it was terrible. Every song was the same and when they said "this is the last song", everybody was happy !
