You stick a couple hundred people in a room, your gonna get noise that people agree with and people disagree with.
Um, yes.

He sat there in silence to show the people of the crowd that it’s extremely difficult to remain completely silent for a couple hours.Thanks for Music History 101, but I don’t see the relevance.

Always.Look, common courtesy is different from perfection. When you grow up, you’ll understand that things aren’t so black and white. In the meantime, don’t be so quick to shout people down when they point out a negative experience. No, I’m not so unreasonable to think that people can’t move or breathe during a show (and I don’t think that I’m perfect or untouchable, thanks very much), but I do think that people can be more mindful about creating disruptions that can be otherwise be avoided (everything I listed could have waited until intermission).
There’s no need to be so aggressive with me, either.
Calm down and grow up. Like I said, the door slam came after I had sat through all of the other behavior. Perspective is everything?
“Watch it buddy?” “Wanna fight about it? What are you, 12 years old? 🙄
EDIT: Bruce was just as annoyed – did you challenge him to a fight as well? 😆

– Talking. Talking!?!?!
– Multiple people getting up multiple times to replenish multiple drinks (disrupting others with “EXCUSE ME” as they force people to get out of their seats so that they can navigate their way through the row with their precariously-balanced beverages)
– Cell phone going off!! (I could understand that happening in 1993, but THIS IS 2006! ARE PEOPLE THAT STUPID THAT THEY STILL NEED THIS EXPLAINED TO THEM?!?)
– The teenage girl’s cell phone glowing brightly while she texted people (“OMG IM AT THE HORNSBY CONCERT!!!111! LOLZ!!”)
– The pre-teen girl passing notes to her father, LOUDLY tearing sheets off of the pad that she writing on. ***RRRRRRRRRRRIP!!!!!!***
– More than one person making noise as they opened their box set DURING THE PERFORMANCE. Were they going to put the CDs on? Were they going to watch the DVD? What was that about? I’m just sorry that the guy on stage was distracting them with his piano playing.
– People opening candy wrappers s-l-o-w-l-y, which they don’t realize is actually more distracting than just getting it over with.I’m so irritated at how thoughtless people can be. I’m glad that there was a boxset giveaway, because this experience reminded me why I don’t shell out money to go to concerts anymore. When Bruce scowled and grumbled at the door slam during a particularly quiet song, I was right there with him.
Decent performance, but the crowd (where I was sitting) were #$%(s
From the looks of the front page of bruuuce.com, people *still* aren’t getting it. 👿 👿 👿
I can’t hear the clip in the office. What happened in Richmond?
My wife and I will be at the show, although I’m not sure at this point about our schedule beforehand (we’ll have to start heading for home afterward).
In any case, if you see us, please do say hello

Sorry, Si. I have a real problem with audience members that act like they’re somehow entitled to “become part of the show” without being mindful of not intruding on someone else’s enjoyment of the show (whether it’s through singing along at the top of their lungs, distracting the performer, or whatever). I get so frustrated with the rudeness on display to the point where I really don’t go to many concerts anymore. Next week’s Bruce concert is a rare exception, and if someone insists on wrecking it for others, my box set is Intersecting with their face… 👿
Miss Virginia Former wrote:The Other Individual involved and I met up with Bruce at the hotel after the concert. We apologized and “chatted it up” with Bruce about what had happened. He has forgiven us, and we all parted best of friends. I hope that, when everyone here has finished venting their spleens about this whole affair, I can still say that I am the best of friends with them, too.That doesn’t change the fact that you created a distraction for other audience members that weren’t fortunate enough to meet up with Bruce after the concert.
I’m going to my first Bruce concert next week in NYC (birthday present), and I’m so not in the mood for people wrecking the show for others.
