That's why, once you get older, you stick to the back of the club.

    Even when I was young I didn't go to clubs. I've been to one club (where unexplained blood dripped on me and I didn't even get cool music like in Blade) and, I think, two concerts.

    Neither was superior to anything I could enjoy at home.

    Yeah i m really not enjoying concerts. I don't do well standing for long periods of time either. I much rather be at home constantly blasting music I like. The only thing I was envious off was the couples busy making out in the back, that I could do lol

    I’ve been to more rock shows than I can count, of all sizes, since I was a kid.

    Wanna know what I hate, even from my favorite band? Encores. Just make the set the appropriate length and let’s not play games.

    It would be cool if they were actual encores rather than this staged "oh we're finished now, just kidding!" nonsense

    Precisely! We all know you will come back for more songs, there's still 20 minutes of the concert left. Just stay on stage

    Taking a planned break is fine. They could do it halfway through. Hell they can pee whenever they want

    Right?! If it’s a given there’ll be an encore anyway, what’s even the point. Just means a whole lot of extra clapping for literally zero point. Like, at this point it’s just a part of the crowd work kit. I feel played every time

    Years ago, I saw Brian Setzer and his Big Band, and it was a crazy, raucous crowd of people of all ages, from young high school jazz band players, to old people who actually remembered the original Big Band era.

    The concert was unbelievable, and the encores were REAL. They were so real, that eventually he had to say "We've played EVERYTHING in our book! We don't have anything else!" And the crowd started screaming "PLAY IT AGAIN!" So they played two more songs over that they'd already played!

    He finally said "No, we're tired, go home!" And everybody left happy. Easily one of the most exciting shows I've ever experienced. No musical ensemble is hotter and more exciting than a real Big Band in full blow.

    How young is youth? I'm entering mid thirties and I fucking love moshing. It's basically the main reason I even go to live shows

    Keep going until any combination of the following things happens:

    1. You get your first big injury and after/assuming it heals you realize you want to avoid another

    2. You realize the smaller injuries aren't healing as well as they used to

    3. You get tired

    4. It stops being fun
