Talk at the back, not at the fuckin front.
Quite. Do you mind if I steal this quote for my flyers? I'll give you a credit.

Maybe you can tune out or do you always go right near the front?
Depends what sort of night/gig it is. The ones I have been to over the last 2-3 years I think its the type of environment where it is acceptable to have a chat, and is expected. To be fair, most of the ones I have been to lately have been pretty heavy house nights..so that does differ to an acoustic gig.
Fair enough, if it's a club night then sure it's fine to have a natter. And I went to see Laibach on Saturday night and I was near the front and even if people were talking then I doubt I would have heard them over the panel beating 4-4. And acoustic gig in a church is a little different though. I admit everyone was well behaved around me and I was not disturbed but there have been reports of a significant level of chatter further back during the support.
Laibach ?!!!!!
Some gigs are rather quiet e.g. acoustic, and others have quiet passages. And when people chat they talk at a level so they can be heard. More and more people are doing it and I can honestly say that every single person I have spoken to about this has agreed with me, and performers are also raising it as an issue.

No! I had to be at the back for the Sharon Jones gig I mentioned as I couldnt get to the front.
The odd "I love this tune" or "remember this" or "have you seen the video" etc is fine but I know what HT means, people actually have FULL BLOWN CONVERSATIONS that are better saved for the pub or a party.
You need to go and see bands like Motorhead or Slayer .
Not only will you never be able hear anybody chatting at the gig. You also won't be able to hear anybody chatting the day after the gig either .
Did like this review of Richard Hawley at the forum the other night, doing a quiet encore entitled "the shut-the-f***-up option". Pointed dig at the talkers at his gig.
