On a more serious note, successfully moseying up front when you aren't technically supposed to be there is all about attitude. Be polite, don't argue with security if they tell you to go away, and don't get in anyone else's way.

Stay away from the front row people that have enormous chips on their shoulders - they will go batty and attract attention from security that you don't want. Those people are easy to spot out - while they've generally got a sour look on their faces and patently do not look happy to be there, they'll be damned if anyone else is going to have a good time in their general direction, either.

On several occasions, I've been able to amble my happy ass right on into the actual security pits at various shows without anyone giving me a hard time.

As for drunk and obnoxious fellow concertgoers, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I have encountered more of these types at the Stevie shows I've been to than any other concert in my life - hell, the pit at the GWAR show I recently attended was like the concert equivalent of everyone holding hands and singing "Kumbaya" compared to the behavior I was subjected to at Stevie's show in Reading last year. Lawdy, lawdy.

All the same, baby. All the same.
