After responding to a post about people that scream out during a performance it got me to thinking so i figured i'd start a new thread....

What is the funniest thing you've heard someone yell out from the audience in a concert? It could either be from a show you were at or a commercial/bootleg show.
Here are mine:

1. 3-21-77 Philly, PA (bootleg)- during the solo in "Landslide" some guy yells out "take it off!!!"

2. 11-6-79 St. Louis, MO (Tusk doc) - the guy yelling out "rock and roll!!" throughout the entire show. most noticeably at the beginning of "Sara". Oh, also during the "World Turing" drum solo some woman yells out "scratch your balls!!!"

3. 5-15-80 Cleveland, OH (bootleg) - after the first chorus ends on "The Chain" and Stevie goes into her "chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain" someone says "oh no....."

4. 11-13-81 LA, CA (White Wing Dove concert) - during the piano intro to "Rhiannon" after Stevie says "...and your life knows no answer" and pauses, some guy yells out "i'll never forget you" and she remarks "i'll never forget you either..."

5. 6-21-86 Chicago, IL (personally attended show but the "chatter" is heard on the Cloaks and Daggers bootleg) - right before "Leather and Lace" begins some guy yells out "Silver Springs!" imagine that?!
Also, during the same show, after the into to "Rhiannon" and before the full rock version begins some lady (commenting to either a friend or whoever) says "don't worry about the time....." and then "one more tune baby!"

6. 10-96 Boston, MA (personally attended show although it's floating around as a bootleg video) - Let me digress first...This one is personally hysterical to me cause about 4 of us had travelled 3 hours to Boston for this multi act weekend festival but really going cause of Stevie. We got to the (no charge $$$) front of the stage early in the morning and sat there all day. Of course, when Stevie came on we figured she and the band would hear everything...so, first someone thought Waddy Wachtel was there cause there was a guitarist with short hair the same color as Waddy's with glasses on so someone yells "Waddy!" Of course it wasn't him. I don't know his name either. Anyway, when Stevie came on, people were like "you like great Stevie!....Hi Sharon, Hi Lori!....I love you Stevie!"...but the funniest was some girl at the front who held up a small budah statue chanting "bless you Stevie...bless your soul..." ay yi yi. and, that girl sang to just about every song during the show (and NOT on key) but that's another story.

At Lindsey's OOTC show at The Paradise club in Boston/Allston MA in 1993 I was at, in between songs, some girl yelled out when it was real quiet, "Glad to see you finally decided to come out on the road Lindsey!" and of course everyone burst out in to laughter (as they were probably thinking the same thing since it was really the first time all of us had seen him since the 1987 tour showdown story etc.) and he kinda looked up and smirked but then the mood was ruined because some guy then yelled out "Where's Stevie" (which he ignored) and then all the laughter turned into a loud chorus of "boos". :)

Lol...!!...I know exactly who you mean...I always notice that guy aswell...he seems completely "out of it"...!...nevertheless it somehow makes the songs even more enjoyable!! Helps you to imagine what an awesome atmosphere it must have been...!:cool:

I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was also on the verge of coming off the stage and beating the cr*p out of whoever the hell it was who said that........if I was him I would have....well done to LB for keeping his cool.....

What a totally inconsiderate and stupid thing to say.....LB eventually builds up the confidence and belief to do his first solo show and some idiot shouts out "Where's Stevie?"..?!?!........:rolleyes: :mad:

What a jerkhead!! :mad: I hate when people act stupid like that at concerts...just listening to some of the bootlegs of Lindsey's concerts, you can hear people chit-chatting "Oh, hi, how are you, yada yada yada...so, tell me your life story while this guy plays some song up there...I wish he'd hold it down, I can't hear your interesting story...hey, you with the guitar..."

SHUT THE $#%$#%$#% UP!!! You don't go to a concert to CHAT with people!!! AAAHHH!!!! When I go to see someone I LOVE (because why would I pay OUTRAGEOUS prices to see them otherwise!!), I don't wanna listen to the audience mingle, I wanna be mesmerized by the performer I came to see...this just %$#@% me off!!

%$#@%$#^%&*$%$#%# mother$#@!$#@$#@!$@#$#stupid-as*%$#%$#@&Y@$#^$#@ :mad:

.....30 minutes later...-----> :cool: LMAO!!

Great thread. A couple of things come to mind ...

On the August 1980 Hollywood Bowl show recording, there's a very vocal group of "casual fans" within earshot, & they come up with some zingers. Before the band takes the stage for "Monday Morning," someone in this group yells "We want Stevie!" & someone nearby immediately fills in, "Wonder!" One of the guys in the group seems unable to control himself whenever Stevie is onstage. During "Dreams," one of his pals yells, "He's gonna undo his zipper!" & the guy himself sighs & says, "Easy, girl...easy, girl.... oh....worn out...."

At the July 30 1983 (Alpine Valley?) Stevie Nicks solo gig, she does her standard intro to "Sara" --- something like "This song is about someone you all know." Some guy yells "David Bowie!" Stevie misses a beat but I guess then it occurs to her to respond with "David Bowie?!" She adds, "I met David Bowie [at the US Festival II] & he had nothing to say to me. So, noooo....... this isn't about David Bowie."

At the October 2 1983 (Los Angeles) show, Stevie drifts offstage after "Beauty & the Beast" & it's a little while before she gets back on again. She says something about having to remember that the next song is hers, but we don't mind waiting. A bratty guy in the crowd shouts, "Give me a break!" And she stops & says, "Give *you* a break?! If you would like to come up here, I'll give *you* a break."

At Christine's solo show in Los Angeles in June '84, she's about to introduce "Hold Me": "This next song is called ..." but she pauses long enough for someone to yell "Tease" & then Chris says very slyly, "I'm not gonna tell you what it's called."

HILARIOUS!! Stevie must've went backstage to do some drugs, then came back all ready to kick someone's as*! LOL

And Christine...that is just CLASSIC..na-na-na-na, I'm not going to tell you...!! Thanks for sharing all of these guys, it's kind of a personality show of our Mac-ers!! :thumbsup:

OMG! Go Stevie. She must have been in her "don't F*** with my people" mood!

Christine said pretty much the same thing before "Don't Stop" on the Little Rock, AK 6-25-77 show... John says (and it's so hard understanding him half the times back then cause he sounds loaded) "...like to do one more from the Rumours album and it's called uhh....sung by Christine...and only she knows the title" and Chris says "and i'm not telling you".

I think about the guy that shouted "Go Lindsey!" at the start of I'm So Afraid on The Dance.

Nothing funny about that you may think, but, I think back 10 years earlier when John McVie said "Why don't you just leave Lindsey" and he left the group. What he meant was why don't you just leave the room!

I get visions of Lindsey dropping his guitar and walking off stage throwing a tantrum when that guy shouts "Go Lindsey!" :laugh: :laugh:

That was hilarious dude!!

Haha! It's during that pause isn't it..JUST before the drums come in...I'm getting this image of "Go Lindsey!!" and then u hear this "clunk" as the guitar hits the floor and he walks off stage!

Then Stevie thinks "AT LAST! My chance to show everyone!" and she picks up the Model One, sings the song, and then plays the solo at twice the speed!!!

:blob2: :woohoo: :blob1:

:wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

p.s. I think someone must have put something into my dinner!

I always thought he recognized the intro and yelled "SO AFRAID" very excitedly, which is what I'll be doing when I hear that intro. lol

This is a great thread!

It's not funny - it's annoying as hell - but during Stevie's Houston, TX 1989 show, some girl is just screaming something during the interlude before Rooms on Fire. It sounds like she's yelling "Nightbird!!!", but I can't be sure. Everytime I hear that, I cringe, because it is just blood curdling...I want to smack her.

And during The Dance, I think after Temporary One, doesn't some guy yell "Do it again!". WTF? Of all the songs, that's the one he wants to hear twice? (I'm probably hearing that one wrong. At least I hope so.)

I think one of the funniest things I ever heard was the girl who called out "Stevie are you a witch," and she said back, "Get a life!"

When I went to see Stevie on the TISL tour in Atlanta (July 2001), she started her speaking part right before "Planets", and she was talking about her and Lindsey, and she really seemed like she was going to elaborate on some things.......until this guy stood up and yelled, cupping his hands around his mouth like a megaphone, "We already know that!" and she abruptly sort of stopped and went right into the song. Several people around him yelled for him to shut up.

What a loser. That was rude as hell. Why would you go see her if you didn't care what she has to say?
Stevie talking about certain life events are just part and parcel to the whole thing, just like Lindsey and his little speeches.
I just don't get some concert-goers.

Two "audience vocals" that I love happen during pretty much every live version of The Chain that I've ever heard....

a) The Chain has two complete pauses...one after the intro. guitar and one at the end of the first chorus, and everytime a few people from the audience shout "UGH!!"...or "Wooooooh!!".....it suits the rhythm of the song so much....fills in that gap perfectly!

b) During the famous bass solo...you always get the audience doing the creepy whistling and woooooh-wooooooh........and that always sounds really cool. It's most easily heard on LB's solo shows.

Nothing funny about these two...just really cool.:cool::nod:

My 4 year old daughter is convinced that someone in the audience shouts 'ELMO!' at the beginning of Never Going Back Again on the 1980 Live Album.
Well, at least her mum thinks that's very funny... :)

i was going through a box of tapes and found a "bootleg" audio cassette i got a long time ago of the "US Festival '83". One thing that's funny about this is whoever labeled the tape screwed the song titles up. They had titles like: "Are you lonely outside the rain", "Angel of my dreams", "In the still of the night" and "Don't hide behind your hair" ("Golden Braid")...Anyway, when the opening chords started for "Gold Dust Woman" (opening song), this woman in the audience screams out in a really high pitched yell: "whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....oh my God they're doing Gold Dust Womaaaaaaaaaaaaaan whooooooaaaaaaaaa"

Later in the show, during the band intros when Stevie introduces Sharon she says "...my roommate AND friend, Miss Sharon Celani....dark hair....she's yours for $25,000" you can hear this guy saying "roommate?" like with a raised eyebrow.

When I hear The Dance, just before Lindsey playa ISA, I keep thinking that someone shouts 'Richey!'
