this is the best concert review i've read in years!
so bored, you dropped cough drop wrappers on the idiots below! awesome!
A year ago at Springsteen 2nd night at the Pond, when I was just as sick or even sicker from forcing myself out anyway, I was throwing the wrappers with the cough drops still inside, though not out of boredom -
"
The stand up or sit down debate has been raging on message boards as well as in concerts catering to a geezer audience for the last decade or so. At this show I was really tired and didn't mind sitting but would just go with the flow of the audience. But there was this 60-ish drunken buffoon two rows ahead of me on the aisle (I was second seat off the aisle). He would intermittantly stand and sit all night. Except he was really too drunk to stand so he would go out into the aisle and grab on to the railing. This blocked my view. It wouldn't have blocked my view if he was capable of standing at his seat. The people behind me were sitting and I didn't want to impose on them.
Anyway I thought this idiot was going to take a tumble down the stairs. He fell down backwards once. Then he would just sit on the stairs. At one point an usher told him to go back to his seat and he let loose with a flurry of exaggerated hand gestures as she headed back down to her spot. Not longer after he would be standing in the aisle again.
Finally for the last 8 songs I just stood up even though he kept standing and sitting on the stairs. The lady on the aisle in the row in front of me apparently couldn't quite fit in that row so she had her feet into the aisle. At one point he sat down on her feet and she jerked back. Usually I am pretty laid back and tend to accept any and all types of behaviour that's exhibited at concerts but after watching this play out all night I was getting pretty annoyed with the dude and threw a cough drop right as his back. He quickly jumped up, over and right back down in his seat, glared at the woman behind him, then about a minute later started feeling around the ground to find what hit him."
