Have you ever been shushed at a concert? Went to Fleetwood Mac last night, enjoying the concert, and some bonehead in front of us tured around and shushed my SO! After a while her husband fianlly turned around and told us to be quite they are trying to enjoy the concert, my wife says to him....what do you think you are at a ballet or something?

The funny part was the people behind us were much louder than we were, and a few rows above them, they were smoking pot, come on this is a concert, if you wanted quite stay home and listen to the CD :mad:

WTF?, in a movie theatre I can understand but in a concert?. Next time tell them to watch it when it comes out on video. You should've shushed them and told the people above you to blow smoke in their eyes

I have never been to a concert to eb quite, and I have never seen anyone like this before, she must have been in her 50's, you could tell they don't go to concerts very often.

I have been to 1 ballet...let me correct that dragged to 1 ballet before, we got free tickets so we went, 30 min into it, we looked at each other and said "outa here, let's go fuck" :p

Oh really? We go to the "ballet" all the time! ;)
 
We were shushed once at a concert. Sarah McLachlan at the ACC. My 2 sisters were totally trashed and being pretty inappropriate. The people in front of us were less than impressed. As their brother I had no choice but to defend them and tell the other people to screw off, although secretly I WAS embarrased. It was Sarah McLachan, not Nine Inch Nails.
One of my sisters peed her pants (literally) and didn't remember it in the morning.
That's what happens when you pour brandy into the 1 litre cups of beer they sell there.
Live and learn!

Your "right" to have a good time ends when it infringes on the rights of others enjoyment. RESPECT the rights of others. Music is art...it must be "painted" on a canvas of silence. Even rock music. If you were screaming in their ears, you deserve to be told off.:mad:

Depends on what you were doing. If singing along or saying something related to the concert, they shouldn't have said anything. However, if you were carrying on a long conversation about something that had nothing to do with the concert, I'd agree with them. Off topic conversations can be very distracting, they paid their money for the concert and they should be allowed to enjoy it without undue interference.

just my two cents . . .
 
We were not doing anything except clapping and whistling, and we were not loud, like I said the people behind us were extremely load

What the heck!!!!!!! I hope you didn't cave in and quiet down! I would have gotten LOUDER after ridiculousness like that.

Then you're an ignorant ass too.

Look...we only have the OP's "opinion" of what's loud or not. But the "respectful" thing to do would have been to tone it down a bit. That's what's missing from society today...respect and consideration for others.

The tone I get from this post is "how dare someone correct me, I am perfect, and I do what I want, whenever I want, and to hell with anyone else". because of the use of the phrase "bonehead".

Whistling....as in shoving two fingers in your mouth, and letting out those "ear splitting" shrieks just a few feet away from these people's ears?

If you had did that more than once to me from a few feet away, you'd be lucky that "shushed" is all you got.
 
To me, it all depends on the concert. At Rob Zombie, you are entitled to scream, wet your pants, whatever. At Celine Dion, you should be quiet (and perhaps consider cutting off your own testicles). Fleetwood Mac is somewhere in the middle. Clapping and whistling should be ok, loud conversation or singing along is not.

I remember a story of someone who had been to see Simon and Garfunkle. They loved them, waited a long time to see it, saved up, etc. A bonehead sitting right behind them sang/shouted along to every song, and totally ruined it for them.
 
YEAH, OH YEAH! SING IT AGAIN, MAN!! WOOOOO!!! FUCKIN' A.
Such beautiful sentiments.

maybe

That was "ballet", as in "local ballet" (notice the quotations... I think Sheik knows what I'm talking about...)

You should try and bring your SO sometime ang... it is most enlightening!
But I would be afraid the SO would get up on stage, and say "push over hun, let me show you how it's done"
