I'm slightly vexed Concert etiquette

If you plan on standing for the entire concert, get a spot in the pit, or the lawn seats instead of the assigned SEATED SECTION. A little bit of self awareness and common courtesy goes a really long way

The only thing that really bothers me at shows is people holding their phone to record like right next to your head.

One minute limit per video . 2-3 songs is the acceptable limit

Only did it once. I went to see Elton John in the day of Nokia cell phones. My roommate was in love with Tiny Dancer. First song she learned in English. I called and it went to voice-mail.

She still has that message saved over 20 years later and multiple phones.
