22. That really drunk guy knocking over the soundboard barrier & trying to repeatedly hug one of the crew guys who played cooled at first.. but no one likes that your throwing glowsticks over Kuroda just to hit somebody, miss & hit K during 20 years later. Needless to say during Carini I gave him a nice little kangaroo boot.
Honestly though whoever you were, the first time whatever but you suck you musta fell through the barrier 6 times! You are very lucky that soundboard crew was very calm & handled you well because if it was the msg security they probably would of thrown you out of the building.
Just throw them away from the soundboard & very high up. Don't throw it like your throwing from SS to first base!
23. Don't throw glowsticks like a Randy Johnson fastball.

people picking apart the entire show and complaining how 'Phish isn't what it used to be' and talking loudly about it and therefore ruining (what i think) to be a pretty well performed song... for example

Yeah, nothing worse than a bunch of knee-tappers at a rock concert. Happened to my wife and I at an Allman Brothers show last year. People asking us to sit down. I couldn't believe it. I decided to get tix to see The Who at Boardwalk Hall in Feb. Hoping for the best but we could be stuck amongst a bunch of knee tappers.

Saw Clapton in '11 in LA. Granted LA crowd suck but... we were in the front row of our section. Clapton comes out and starts the show, we start grooving. Halfway through the first song someone taps me on the back so I turn and see a middle aged woman gesturi g for me to sit down. I look around and realize the entire theater is sitting except me and my buddy. Kind of ruined the show for us tbh. Everyone got up for Crossroads, that was it.

It really is a shame. At the Allman Bros we were at the Tower Theater in Philly. We moved from our seats to the aisle on the side. Later in the show we crept into some seats on the side that were vacant but people behind us got annoyed. There were maybe about 10 of us trying to groove there. I mean, from my point of view, it's the freakin' Allman Bros! It definitely ruined the show for us and I don't think I will go to another Allman Bros show. Who sits at one of their shows? I have a feeling we will be in an aisle somewhere at The Who.

Happened to me about a month ago at a Tedeschi Trucks show. The band was rocking and everyone starting dancing a bit but after that song was over just about everyone sat back down. A few people in the crowd stayed up including my buddy and I and an usher came over to tell us to sit down. Even said he would get security if we refused to sit back down. It really bothered me at the time because I was just pumped to be at a rocking show. So anyway we decided to grab a beer and shack it off. A few dirty looks to the people behind us ensued on the way up the isle. On the way back we found that people were standing / dancing in the side isles so we found a better spot and enjoyed the rest of the show.

Did this happen to be at the TTB in Spartanburg, SC? I was at that and all the old timers were sitting down except for a few drunk old snatches in the aisle (two of whom pulled each other down while dancing bc they were so drunk). My friend and I were told to sit bc the people behind us were sitting but everyone in front was standing up. Meanwhile, Trucks is shredding. How can you sit for that. I asked them kindly to piss off.

lol

23. the assholes that try to hit the band with glowsticks.

24. the jerk that brings a big inflatable banana and stands right in front of me, holding it in the air the entire show. (way worse than the rhombus dude).

25. Showing up to a Halloween show in an Eye of Sauron "tower" costume (admittedly a cool-ass costume), that is 15 ft high and 3 feet wide -- and then working your way up near the soundboard for the entire 10/31/2009 at festival 8.(This part, not cool. Giant tower costume - stand in the back)

In this instance, throwing glow-sticks at the "tower" was perfectly acceptable fan behavior. It was made of some form of foam -- by the end of the set he had like 100 glowsticks embedded in the costume.

Agree with all but No. 6. Being able to navigate to the front of general admission is a skill worthy of a better spot. Survival of the fittest.

Are you serious? Anyone can do it -- as long as you don't mind being a douche.

17. people who drag out a 15' x 20' blanket

I will say -- If your crew is 15 People -- using an appropriate sized blanket/tarp to mark space for 15 people is cool. (though bring one that you are okay with being stepped on..it will be stepped on, and you should be okay with that)

The fans that think that by putting a trap/blanket down it makes all that space theirs - even if it is like 3 people with a 10x10 blanket in a prime spot -- need to get a grip!!

@elfinito
Oh thats so cute!

27. the dude who asks you if he can hit your j or pipe
