would probably explain the large portion of yuppie wankers who have no real right being at an outdoor concert being there.

I like DMB but I truly dislike their audience. I took my daughter to a concert of theirs in 2003 - she was 13. It was an outdoor concert in Connecticut. The guys were hitting on her all over the place and offering her beer. When she turned them down - they started hitting on me. My son wound up slugging one of them who slobbered all over me and tried to kiss me. The dude was so drunk he could barely stand up.
A few years later we saw them at Madison Square Garden - once again the audience was the drunkest I have ever seen - and nobody paid the slightest attention to the music. I haven't been to a live show since though I do enjoy their bootlegs in the car for driving.
Keep in mind that I have been to Led Zeppelin concerts where people were certainly in an altered state - big time LOL. I have mentioned seeing god at a certain awesome Zeppelin show. No one ever acted as obnoxiously as the Dave Matthew fans.
