There were two drunk guys at the SYW concert at the PNC Center. It actually worked to my advantage, though. We were in the aisle, about 10 rows back and one of the guys was moderately drunk--the other was very, very drunk. Somehow, people were leaving the aisle to go get more drunk--and we moved up a bit. But, then really, really drunk guy decided he didn't like my rather lady-like applauding and told me to do the over the head seal clap.
I kind of shook my head and he grabbed my hands and was about to sort of...well, make me. But, even though I'm very quiet in real life, I'm told I have quite the stare of doom if I get angry enough and not so drunk guy saw it, grabbed really, really drunk guy's hands away from mine and told him "let's get some more beer." In the meantime (and I'm not even sure how this happened...we had moved up a lot) and a girl who was standing by the stage...way to the right--made room for me and gestured me over. I really think it was just early on in the concert when a lot of people were making beer runs and I just managed to get to the stage for the rest of the show when I had originally started out in row 11.
The ugliest drunk episode was the first MSG show for this tour. I was standing at the stage on Stevie's side and this drunken woman was yelling--pretty much through the whole concert for Stevie to sing "Leather and Lace." At the beginning, it was just shout outs. At the end, it was getting ugly. She was actually swearing at Stevie. "Goddamn it, sing ****ing Leather and Lace!" Yeah, that was very sweet. And, I know for a fact (because I was eavesdropping before the concert) that her boyfriend bought those tickets that morning through a broker and paid mucho dinero for her to act like a total jerk.
