I feel you on that one, vertigojds. Concert audiences in general seem to have gotten ruder over the years. I saw Elbow in London a few months ago, and was singing along with enthusiasm as I do, then the bloke next to me turned round and shouted in my ear "Can you turn it down a bit? I want to hear him singing, not you." Me being way too polite to stick up for myself, I complied, but I really wish I hadn't. Stuff like what's been mentioned in the thread (especially in vertigojds's comment above mine) is why I prefer going to small local gigs these days.
