Ever have a bad experience and want a do-over? A few years ago, Hubby and I attended a Dave Matthews Band (DMB) concert and had to endure a screaming girl two rows above us who screamed and screamed and screamed through the entire concert. Not between the songs, mind you, but through the songs. Intolerable! The people directly behind us left because of Screaming Mimi.
After this experience, I wasn’t sure I ever wanted to attend another DMB concert. In fact, I was a little leery of any stadium concerts. And then Hubby and I went to a Nine Inch Nails concert that was flawless and had respectful fans and my faith was restored.
Following this successful stadium concert event, I decided I wanted to shake the bad karma of the DMB concert and try again. Later this year, I’ll get my chance. DMB is touring and I purchased two tickets. Crossing my fingers that Screaming Mimi will stay home.
I’ve definitely experienced what you’re talking about. DMB concerts are kind of hit or miss. I live in Chicago and one of the main places I see shows is an outdoor amphitheater. Let’s just say the aroma in the air can leave something to be desired
Thankfully we didn’t have to deal with any “haze” at the last concert, Carrie. The screaming was enough! I’m hoping the one we’re heading to will be a hit, rather than another miss.
I hope the best for you…they’re one of those great concert bands!
Thanks, Carrie!
Hope the concert is better.
I remember one where the person behind me insisted singing in a high rather off key 1st soprano directly in my ear the entire concert. When asked to move back a little she sang louder and closer.
Dee – What is it about rude concert-goers that they think the concert is all about them? Our Screaming Mimi wouldn’t shut up even though she was asked to politely several times. She said something like, “It’s a concert. What do you expect?” She was finally quiet when she lost her voice, which was a bit of karmic justice.
Similar to the rude person next to us. She said something about that she paid for a ticket so she should be able to enjoy the concert however she wanted.
