I will start
At The Ruby Suns concert last week some girl almost knocked me over a few times with her drunken kind of dancing. I assumed correctly that she was beyond reason and not calming down at all so I might have been a little harsh, but I merely put my elbow out to protect me and my friends. Sure enough the next time she slammed into me she got an unexpected nudge. Then she turns around and asks "do you have a problem?" and I thought to myself fuck Jacksonville, fuck Jack Rabbits one of the worst venues I've ever been to, and fuck people who don't know how to go to a show. In the end the girl moved to another spot, luckily this time she stood behind me and shane and screamed at the top of her lungs for the next few hours.
Your turn, worst/best/average concert experiences lets hear em.
Post in the little box thing and I'll move it to the post.
Come On, Please

Here's my story:
This was a couple years back, the show was Alkaline Trio, Saves the Day (I think), and Death by Stereo. The place? Revolution in Downtown Ft Laudy.
To kick things off Death By Stereo was one of the worst bands I have ever heard or seen...ever. I wanted to stab my eardrums with anything I could get my hands on. Sadly, nothing was available. Anyway, this story isn't actually about bad musicians, but about bad fans and even worse security.
If you have never been to Revolution, the inside pit area is all laminated hardwood floor, and I guess it seems that Alkaline Trio draws a largely older audience than most shows I was going to at the time. As it were, most of the patrons were drinking their $5 domestic beers out of their solo cups and being in the pit every so often a cup of beer would be spilled. Turning the floor into a slip-n-slide o'death.
Eventually a mosh pit of sorts opened up and all the cool kids pushed all the other cool kids as hard as they could. I was standing behind a rather stout manchild who was on the edge of the circle, when all of a sudden a kid was pushed by someone else into the aforementioned manchild. Even though it wasn't his fault, the kid turned around and apologized, when all of a sudden the fatboy reared back and punched the kid in the face. We all stood there shocked, but no one was as shocked as the kid who just got sucker punched in the face. Thank god the bouncers came to his rescue, but oh wait! What's going on?! Did the bouncers really just tackle the kid who just got punched in the face. Well thank god our manchild was drunk enough to come to his rescue, because once again he threw his haymaker and hit one of the bouncers.
The two concertgoers were escorted off the premises. I like to think that they went out for a beer afterwards.
