Falling Asleep during a concert!

diamondsnake · #1 05-16-2005, 10:36 PM

A man in front of me on Saturday night fell asleep during the show! Can you believe that? He was like a hundred and five years old and once Landslide started he was down for the count until Edge of Seventeen when his wife woke him up. And they left before Beauty and the Beast. Can you believe how unfair it is that some fans are across the country dying because they can't go to the show and other people got free tickets and decided to take a nap during the concert? I was mortified that someone fell asleep during a rock concert! Especially since I knew so many people that would have killed for his tickets to the show.

Usually and sadly, it is alcohol induced

That could be the case. I just couldn't believe it. It is one thing to fall asleep at the movies, but at a concert? Oh my!

He was one of those "Stevie Nicks? Who's he?" kinda people. Pisses me off! Comp tickets are lame! People just go for the sake of going whether they like the performer or not.

The worst part of all was that the couple didn't even clap after the songs were over. Even the first song. After Enchanted they just looked at each other confused, didn't clap or even do a little "golf clap" they just sat there and decided to go to sleep right there and then! Like I said the guy was older then methusal but sheesh! Would it kill them to make the most of the concert?

When I saw FM in Vegas, there was a girl spread out on 3-4 folding chairs in the front row. She looked bored to death....

At Friday's Stevie show, the 2 rows of people in front of me were standing, so of course, I stood up too. There was a deadbeat couple behind me who asked me to move over toward the aisle so they could see. I didn't mind, it just gave me more room anyway. The rest of my row, and the row in front of me was pretty empty. They barely clapped or cracked a smile during the entire show. I just don't get people like that.

Isn't crazy how some people can be brought to tears by songs and have the best moments of there life and others can be bored to tears and leave early (to avoid traffic!)?

everyone may as well have been sleeping... wednesday night in the first mezz was dead, me and mike were the only people who even looked tempted to stand/dance... the woman next to me couldn't have fit more neatly into the dried out vegas stereotype, right down to the slip on shoes and gold lamE fanny pack. no movement from these people at all! halfway through the show she crossed her legs the other way, and then decided to give a tiny and misplaced clapclapclap in the middle of How Still... wtf? i mean, i know it was good... but was it truly better than everything that had come before? was HSML the very first thing that warranted a clap?

I once "almost" fell asleep at a Dead show. Sorry, but I was a bit tired/bored and could not even see the stage from where I was sitting. Now Stevie, that's another story.

Who saw the tiny Asian lady in the front row at Tuesdays show who was sitting with her fingers plugging up her ears!?!?!? WTH? Apparently, she thought it was too loud.

At Wednesday's show, a high roller in the front row, stuck her legs straight out in front of her so no one could stand in front of her during Edge. My roomie/friend was in front of her outstretched legs and she kicked her! Intentionally. I mean these high rollers were rude!

They don't appreciate how lucky they are.
