I paid to see and hear THE BAND (whoever it is) and not YOU. And trust me, no one else wants to hear you either. ]
LOL! I agree about not wanting to hear anyone else. Sure, everyone gets caught up and wants to sing along to Landslide now and then, but there always seems to be some people who must think that if they sing loud enough so that Stevie can hear them, she will immediately hire them to be one of her back up singers. (And they always seem to be men!!)
As far as sitting goes, I guess it's almost a majority rules thing. If people in front of me are standing, I'm going to stand because I want to be able to see. When you look around at the audience of a Fleetwood Mac or Stevie Nicks concert though, you will see a wide range of ages. I saw a grandmother with her granddaughter on the last Stevie tour. Some peolpe can't stand for 2.5 hours. And let me just nip in the bud the whole "then buy the cd and listen to it at home, because I paid $125.00 to do what I want" attitude. Because the little old lady who can't stand up for that long could say "If you want to dance and sing, buy the cd and dance around your living room" to you folks too, so who's right? What's wrong with compromise? Stand at the beginning and end of a song, and remember how lucky you are to even be able to afford a seat to this concert to be able to sit in.
