I noticed at the Grand Rapids show that there was a 2 beer a person limit and alcohol sales ended at 9........

It's extremely annoying. We always end up with some nutjob screaming his/her lungs out during the slower songs where extra noise isn't necessary. When we were in Cleveland, these girls showed up just for Vanessa's opener (thank goodness), and hooted and hollered the entire time. The man two seats away from me was getting his eardrums blown out of his head.

Not to mention the fact that the overwhelming stink of liquor is disgusting. Sure, the security won't let me bring in my Lipton Green Tea, but all of these morons are allowed to get trashed. The thing is, I once almost passed out in the mall due to low blood pressure and my doctor advised me to bring something to drink with me to prevent that from happening again, so I pretended to throw my tea away and then smuggled it back into my bag when the security guy wasn't looking.

But yeah, the drunks are a major PIA. Stay home or go to bars if that's all you want to do.

I thought those girls were cute.

I'm glad Vanessa had fans there. I was yelling, too, but I was on the other side.

I'm sure ppl think I'm annoying at concerts....but I don't care. I paid to have a good time.

The most annyoing drunks at a FM show I've been around was in Reno during the SYW tour. You know, the infamous show where Lindsey had to finish Goodbye Baby since La Nicks was so upset.

It's great Vanessa had fans there, but screaming within such close proximity is annoying. The people next to me were more upset than I was, but I wasn't too far behind.

I guess when Stevie comes out and everyone's yelling, it sort of all blends in to one big noise, but when people are whistling and shouting during a ballad or a quieter moment in the concert, that just bugs me.

I'm not the best person to go by because loud noises irritate the heck out of me, but for Stevie, I'll do anything! (And mind you I am sitting here listening to the neighborhood yahoos setting off illegal firecrackers and grinding my teeth, lol, so that gives you some idea...

)

I didn't hear this one. What made Stevie upset?

Were you on Stevie's side or Lindseys? I was right in front of Lindsey's mic, and someone got their pic signed I saw...and when we were leaving I heard someone complaining about someone else smearing their Lindsey signature..I bet that was you! Lol stupid bastards... I had a lady behind me at Jax who kept wanting to get on my shoulders, and I was like "NO!" lol idiot

I assume you would like the audience to be quiet at a rock concert? Lol

That sounds like me. Although I don't exactly hit the sauce I do go crazy at these shows. I stand for the whole thing, sing, dance, etc. because I want to enjoy myself. I hope people don't think I am a nutjob but I love Stevie and I can't help it!

I think I messed up what I was trying to say. During quieter songs, like some of Vanessa's, I wanted to listen to her piano playing, not to someone behind me bellowing. It just ruined the experience because it was difficult to concentrate with the noise.

When Stevie gets rocking and rolling, I scream along with everyone else, because that's the time to do it! Everyone's shouts sort of blend into one anyway, and it's fun. However, when Stevie is doing a ballad and someone is yelling "No, Stevie, you're the beauty, not the beast!" over and over again, well, that just ruins it.

So yeah, I like quiet concerts for ballads and slower songs, but noise is fine when Stevie is rocking out. Hope I didn't offend anyone.

PS...you could classify me as a nutjob when she's singing the LZ cover or something. I went wild!

I stood directly in front of Lindsey's mic with my-then-girlfriend during the whole show. And yes, some drunk girl bumped into me trying to hand Lindsey money (WTF?!) and smeared the photo he signed for me.

Funny..I saw you..I was literally right beside you.. Did you happen to see the man who gave flowers to Stevie and he said "Thank You for Sara" and she said thank you back, and he cried...well no that wasnt me but that man was right next me, to my right...You were to my left I believe.. I had a Fleetwood Mac cap on and a Stevie Nicks Chain t shirt (shirts us in the stevie nicks chain group had made)...weird, you never know who you are beside lol

Ha ha that is too funny about the kak meaning. I use that name because those used to be my initials. Good stuff!

Mageboy25 · #29 07-05-2005, 02:26 AM

Well I like to drink during shows. If for some reason the venue doesnt sell booze, or stops the sale early, ill sneak in my own vodka and mix it with something like lemonade.

Concerts are SO MUCH MORE FUN when you have a few drinks in you!
