I really don't think ANYONE has a right to declare conduct rules for ANYONE else for ANY concert. There are certainly people at every concert I've ever been to that are much crazier than me... and those that just sit and listen... all is accepted... we need to accept EVERYONE'S experience and be tolerant....


Basically (and I'm probably going to sound like a b*%ch here), be patient with others, people.

I'm not saying people should SCREAM while they are singing, or disrupt him in the gentle parts of "Delicate" or "Older Chests", but if he's belting "Woman Like A Man" or "Coconut Skins" or the pinnacle of "I Remember": "I wanna hear.... what you have to say about me.... hear... if you're gonna live without me"... I'm singing along.... you can't hear me anyway (hopefully, if the sound system in the venue is sufficient)...

Kick me out if you think that is unacceptable.... and then try to tap into your inner hippie... music, especially live music concerts, are not about sitting, folding your hands and listening.

I'm just saying.



Borneoman and I are starting a campaign.
I totally agree with you CSL.
That's why I prefer venues where this audience is standing rather than numbered seats and people who don't want you to move...
How can you remain seated when you hear "I remember".
This was my 8th Damien gig this year and I really prefered the ones where I was standing (if possible on the front row in the middle of the stage ): both Paris Olympias, Oslo, Marlay Park.
