Bozo Drunks at the shows

Macfanforever · #1 07-04-2005, 02:53 PM

Hi I was at 5 Stevie shows on this tour ,the one thing that drive me nuts is these drunkin' bozos hollering, booing ,pushing and shoving.throughing things. At the AC show one guy kept whining at me , that I was bumping in to him , which I was not close to him at all.Stevie probably get upset about the booing.People can't control their drinking anymore. this ruins it for everyone. my idea is ban booze at the shows. if you are drunk or high you not coming into the show..
I've been through this 20 years ago.I can have alots of fun At Stevie's Concerts without getting sh#$faced at the shows.

I saw the drunkest people at Pittsburgh. There was this woman behind me who looked like she crawled out of the hills somewhere before the show. Her voice sounded like she drank a fifth of Jack Daniels and smoked a carton of Camel Unfiltereds for good measure. She was one of those people who screamed at people for standing/dancing (mind you this was like the 6th row) and then who yelled all through B&B "I love you Stevie". There was a guy close to her who literally almost came to blows with guy sitting next to me for standing/dancing. Quite a mess.

I know the best thing about the 9-13-03 Knoxville show was that at the arena there is no alcohol sold---because it was on a college campus..The crowd was WAY better, much more friendly

This drunk lady at the Las Vegas show kept on wanting to stand with me because "I looked like I was having fun" but she was so annoying so I just started to ignore her. She finally left (after spilling champagne all over the place that is!) She was like 40 years old and was flirting with me (did she know I was only 16?) and kept giving me champagne. A security guard was right next to me so I was thinking "I'll be damned if I'm going to get kicked out of here for underaged drinking after travelling 3,000 miles to see Stevie!" Fortunately the lady finally left but ruined Standback and Landslide for me!

Ya I just remembered at Jones Beach The croud was mellow. and I remembering reading on one of these boards the same thing. I had no problem there, In Mansfield MA there were three 20 year old girls next to me dancing and falling one fell on me.At the Mohecan Sun Arena in Uncasville CT there were four young ladies in the row in front of me and my mom. hollering. singing. falling. Hahaha my mom said they must of had 6 to 8 beers each .huh my moms first Stevie Concert.At the PNC Bank art center in Holmdel NJ I had no problem there as I remember.I hope they had a ball. and a lousey hangover. I don't miss it anymore.

I was on the front orchestra row outside the pit at Stevie's 2001 Atlanta show. There were drunk yuppies hamming it up behind me with their picnic basket and their wine glasses they brought. *ugh*

And when I saw the Mac in may 2004 in Jacksonville, some drunk whore ruined the photo Lindsey signed by bumping into me. *double ugh*

I just get annoyed at the drunks who then have to keep going back and forth DURING the show - to get more booze and/or to go to the bathroom - it's really distracting and rude - I also think booze should be banned at concerts!!!

It is annoying. I liked the approach Metallica used on their last US arena tour, All alcoholic sales were to cease at 8:00PM when the band took the stage since it was a part of their contract rider with the promoters/venues.

Oh that's awesome - I'd go for something like that.

At the Macca show I saw in NYC - there were vendor guys walking aroudn shouting, "BEER!" ugh - nothing takes the magic out of a show more than a guy witha tray of beer try to reach around you....

show in Dallas in 2003 there was a beer man hocking beers while the band was playing on stage.

I dont like when people get out of hand at concerts either but I couldnt imagine going to a show and not drinking. I dont get wasted but I do like to have a couple beers and I dont think it would be fair to not sell alcohol during concerts.
I agree that most of the rowdy people are in Pittsburgh because we surely do like to drink here. I think they just need some sort of standard in place where if you look wasted then you should be shut off. I often wonder how those crazy drunks get home from the show.

**mylittledemon** · #14 07-04-2005, 06:36 PM

I have a few drinks before I go into the show, if at all. I like to be considerate of the other people that paid out the wazoo.
