The Raconteurs last night

[nrketch]

I just want to say D.C. should be ashamed of itself. This is the third concert I've been to at the 9:30 Club and once again I was let down by the crowd. The Raconteurs are one of the better bands out right now in my humble opinion, but you wouldn't know that by looking at the crowd. Why pay $40 to stand there with your dick in your hand. Come on peopel look alive! I've been to a handfull of places to see concerts, and D.C. by far fails in comparison to any other crowd I've been around. Just ridiculous!

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Fuck you douchebag. If you pay $40 to see a show, you should be able to enjoy it in whatever way you see legally fit. If the joy of your concertgoing experience is dependent on how many puppet cheerleaders and moron dancers are in the crowd, then you truly are a douchebag.
 
 Again, I will add. You are a douchebag. Stay the fuck home next time and play video games or watch Sopranos reruns or work on your sprayon tan, or whatever the fuck it is that douchebags usually do. Because we don't want douchebags of your kind at concerts in D.C.
 
 End of rant.

For all the reasons to complain about a audience at a show this is such a non issue... You might as be complaining that they don't dance at show in DC either    :roll:    People being rude, chattering away, taking pictures with their phones, drunks, etc are valid complaints.  
 
 Did it ever occur to you that it's the middle of the week, people may have been at work and were a bit weary and just wanted to hear the band live without bouncing off the walls in the process.  Sheesh...  Go to some kiddie punk/emo show and have a blast

do you go to shows for the band or for the crowd?
 
 what did you expect, a mosh pit?  crowd surfing?  do-si-do & a promenade?  from the middle of the floor, i thought the crowd was very good.  not too much talking (certainly couldn't hear it over the loud PA), enthusiastic, in to the music.  we were too packed in to do much dancing/air-guitaring anyways.  i appreciated not being amidst pogoing idiots and hyperactive teenyboppers.  i actually got to enjoy the show.
 
 and congrats on starting a thread titled EXACTLY like one that already exists (minus the "the").  nice first post.
 
 douchebaggery confirmed.

I didn't go to the show, I have no idea who the band is, but if you want a social scene go to a club, if you want a concert, go to one of the best venues in the area when there is one going.

[azaghal1981]

What Rhett and Kosmo said.
 
 
 P.S. I'll never get tired of these threads.

[vansmack]

Is rhett having a conversation with himself again and you're all playing along?

[DeathFromAbove1979]

If I had a dollar for the horn throwing head banging douchebags I saw at this crowd, I'd have like 7 dollars.
 
 Drunk asshole not letting me get back to my spot from the bar.
 
 GOD

[Driveway]

We should send this guy to a Low concert.

[azaghal1981]

Even better, a Sunn concert.
 
 
 (if Sunn ever plays dc that is)
