Re: Annoying Chatty Knuckleheads

Both concerts that I went to...Columbus Ohio and Youngstown....the chatter was there when Joe went to his real quites parts....It ruin the moment for me to be honest.

I watch Joe on his dvds shows and people are so well mannard and the low parts sound wonderful.

I wanted so much to get that same feeling at the shows that I went to, but it just did not happen

My Favorite Bonamassa Songs
Happier Times... Sloe Gin...Last Kiss...Lonesome Road Blues...Blues Deluxe...No Slack
Equipment For Listening To Joe
Sennheiser HD800 Headphones & Mad Ear+HD Headphone Amp

Thanks for that Rick, and I can safely assume everyone else in the audience that night thanks you as well.

Isn't it a shame that it needs to come to that at times?

It sure is but I decided long ago that I won't tolerate it at all. It fries my eggs when disrespect for the audience and the artists is so pervasive these days with the me generation.  I don't mind being the designated ego-crusher and give fair warning to idiots nearby before the show starts that I'll be not-so-pleasant if they persist. Being fairly large and very hairy helps. wink

I threaten to beat them with my cane...

Jeff your cane is a damn tree!

I hesitate to say this but that may be the reason most of Joe's DVDs were recorded in the UK and Europe...

Having said that, I was at a Chantel McGregor gig just before Christmas and had to ssshhh and yell shut up at some noisy drinkers who weren't even facing the stage! sad The venue is a sports club and the beer is cheap, so I expect that was all they were there for. There's no excuse for bad manners.
