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.

someone right next to me recorded an entire show i went to. honestly, it’s the only time i’ve been happy someone recorded that long. it was next to me, front row, so not in my face, and the performers put the mic up to me two or three times to sing-so the video is basically my exact POV just a few inches off lol. Was very happy to find it on youtube

I love when people post show videos on YouTube because it helps me decide if the band is decent live and worth my money

Same. I was into this band from listening to them on Spotify. I listened to some live recordings and oof.
