Chris Robinson Has A Philly Melt

Extra cheese on this one

i wish more bands/artists would do this...

me too

but I'm glad they don't 

Bobby did it at a Sweetwater gig last year, if I recall.  I think Neil Young got agitated by some chatty chads in Detroit not too long ago.  I remember seeing Taj Mahal lecture a crowd at a show in Charlottesville.

Consider how the street musician feels.   It's really on the crowd to tell people to STFU, since they're the ones who are paying for the show.  

Jorma didn't have a problem getting the crowd to pay attention to his solo acoustic act:

"99 Year Blues" 5/20/78 Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ

 

I saw Jerry & John Kahn acoustic there once.  Don't recall it being too noisy.  Everyone liked to shut up and watch Jerry, and there would always be folks singing along.  But that's a lot different than yammering on incessantly while someone is performing.

I don't mind Chris in general but it's always a good time when it's a douchebag with a microphone vs a group of loud douchebags 

That being said, I go to concerts to hear music, not to listen to the ramblings of booze and amphetamine filled concert-goers. Please STFU. TY.
 

Keith Jarrett gets pissed when someone coughs at his shows. He's like the soup nazi of musicians - NO MUSIC FOR YOU!!!

These rockers sometimes have a hard time dealing with the reality of rock fans when scaling down to acoustic music. I doubt he'll have any issues when they plug in and blast this summer.

Still, I'm a fan of the guy who made these cards and put them all over the venue before an acoustic show a couple of years ago...

I think that should be made into a poster and put up in every music venue.

My favorite melt was watching Schools take a $10 out of his pocket and offer it to someone in the front row at the Sheridan Opera House to stop talking during a Stockholm Syndrome show a while back.

 

>>>>Keith Jarrett gets pissed when someone coughs at his shows.

holy shit I've read some stories about that. he doesn't fuck around eh?

Im getting old and cranky and have way too many pet peeves but talking at a show is the fucking worst!

Spend $100+ for a show and drunk ass Sue is babbling about her new phone app.

FUCK OFF SUE

Philly fans rude?  You must be mistaken.

Don't Be Like Sue!

Sue from Philly is THE WORST hopefully she doesn't cross paths with Keith Jarrett 

The funny thing about Jarrett is that he performs alone on stage and basically improvises everything he's playing, and throughout his performances he will react with spontaneous grunts, groans, howls, and other loud noises himself.

I didn't know this the first time I saw him but I did know about his famous short fuse for noise from the audience, and when I heard the grunting I was mortified, thinking someone in the front was mocking him and I was certain that he was going freak out and walk off stage.

I've seen him twice, and the second time after some audience coughing and snuffling he did stop during his show and speak rationally to the crowd for a couple of minutes about the issue, trying to explain why he's so sensitive to the noise. And sometimes he shows a sense of humor about it, as he's been known to have ushers pass out cough drops while entering the venue.

Whatever, he's fucking great and I hope to see him again. If I do I'll make sure I blow my nose before going in and have a few Halls Mentho-Lyptus cough drops with me.

I'd need to start drinking coffee again to see him, because I'd be sawing logs by the second song.   I can handle him in a group context, but solo, he puts me to sleep.

He should realize he’s got about 4 songs people want to hear so yes they are going to talk until you play Hard to Handle 

>>>He should realize he’s got about 4 songs people want to hear

i would disagree with that as I am a person who likes more than 4 black Crowes songs. In fact, I enjoy the majority of their songs off of their first three albums. that being said it's still ridiculous that the black Crowes are playing a summer shed tour where ticket sales are SO BAD that tickets, in February, are already on discount for $20! Still don't think I'll go.

BROSEPH SF
FEBRUARY 26, 2020 AT 3:05 PM
My day: I get up, coif my bun, poop for 30 minutes, trim my beard (after I paint it in) then I grab the shoehorn so I can put my pants on (I dont wear underwear because I already pooped). I go into my sisters room and grab her silk shirt. It fits perfectly because I have a bird chest. I text my friends and say I’ll meet them at the show. then I check Facebook for all of my likes. Do my YouTube video about how perfect Kim K is. Then I ask mom and dad for money. I go out. Drink a few White Claws with my “bro’s”. Tonight we are seeing this guy Chris and his brother. So I have a full narrative of why Buffy broke up with me and how my English teacher stares at my package in class. We laugh a lot and get scolded by this guy who looks like my cool uncle; oh wait thats Chris. We laugh at him, hes soooo EMO and kind of an asshol… BAM, I hit the floor my friends go running, they didn’t even defend me! man! and I end up bloody outside with no shirt and a size 13 up my ass from this fat mean longhair guy with a real beard because I could not shut the fuck up. My eye is swollen shut and I’m laying in human feces. I hate this world its so mean and harsh, I need to go see my therapist. The End.

 

I wonder what BROSEPH SF's zone handle is 

It's a little reminiscent of PJ.   Be funny if it was Six.

If history is any indicator the brothers should have been on different continents, rehearsing separately and met on stage the first night of the SYMM tour.
