Screech and desist

Have you ever been at a low-key concert, standing in a packed crowd as everyone listened in silence, only to be distracted by a group of rude, loudmouth concertgoers? Well, anyone at Friday night's Tomorrow Never Knows show at Schubas--featuring The Redwalls, Illinois, Bon Iver and Wax Fang--got to experience that extreme annoyance first-hand during Bon Iver's otherwise haunting set. A group of gabbing gals destroyed the intimacy of Iver's performance when they walked into the music room. "Do you know what band this is?" one of the girls screeched, not actually sounding like she cared. She and her friends continued to chirp loudly until another girl nearby nicely asked them to please keep it down, resulting in the group of mood-killers insulting the friendly fan and threatening to fight her later. After Iver finished, one of the girls was overheard saying that concerts aren't like libraries, so they shouldn't have to be quiet.

Do you agree? Tell us your biggest pet peeve at concerts. Do you have an all-time worst concertgoing experience?
