Compare these stories to today's concerts:
"I took my son to see Metallica. We paid $50 + $20 in service fees per ticket -- killer deal! Totally worth the convenience fees though, because I bought them online and didn't have to interact with anyone, so those fees were totally justified. Money well spent. Then we got to our assigned seats. I couldn't believe that everything was so totally orderly, clean, and well organized. It was like total chaos, except for the lack of any chaos whatsoever. Epic! Of course there was this one rebel who was vaping -- and another guy even yelled the f word. Rock and roll!! Only at a metal show do you see crazy s@*t like that! Metallica came on right on time and the video screens were intense! We could almost see them walking around the stage with our own eyes. About halfway through lightning rolled in so the show was temporarily halted while everyone was relocated safely to the covered concourses -- totally insane! When they came back out, Ride the Lightning was the perfect song, but they couldn't alter the choreographed lights and video so they played Unforgiven as planned. At one point James Hetfield told us that we were the best city on the tour and that our crowd was full of crazy motherfuckers!! Wait, my bad. He didn't actually curse. Which was cool because there were a lot of younger kids there, and people might have complained about the bad language. Little pitchers! Rock and roll! Anyway, they said they were ready to rock all night long, which totally got the crowd fired up. But due to noise restrictions in the neighborhood they had to cut it a couple songs short and head into the two song encore to end promptly at 11:00. Then on the light rail ride home, one dude was totally drunk. Man, it's crazy what happens at metal shows!"

Show at the Coliseum in Austin in the 80s. for some stupid reason cops tied to maintain a space between stage and general admission crowd (no chairs) with the large crowd everyone kept getting pushed forward. Chick got pushed by cop got pissed and kicked him in the nuts. all the cops started spraying mace into the crowd. lots of people starting running but my friend and I yanked off our shirts to cover our faces, bent down and started going forward and got right up against the stage. Shirt had mace and got burned on the face some but wasn't too bad.
At another show there, I was at the front against wooden barricade built to allow security to stand behind it. Started hearing pops, then saw two security guys look at each other in terror an they ran back under the stage. All the supporting 2x4 broke and the barrer fell inwards. People were panicking and getting pulled up on stage to "save" them. We were too fucked up to realize if there was any danger or not. plus didn't want to lose our places.
several other times would get push around by the huge crowds all pressed together and could lift my feet up and move around with the crowd movement wouldn't fall or anything
Saw L7 open for the Beastie Boys at the Coliseum. One of the women pulled out a tampon and threw it into the crowd.

Saw Ed Hall and Crust back at one of the first SXSWs. Ed Hall dressed up like lumberjacks, threw oranges all over the place, and began a small campfire on the stage at the old Liberty Lunch, all while a bunch of videos of old surgeries were playing behind them. Crust topped them at some tiny defunct club downtown when the singer began banging two pieces of wood together, tore off his clothes (wearing only a diaper), and pulled out gummy worms from his crotch. He threw them around the crowd and then tore off his diaper, revealing duct tape up his ass crack and a long piece of cellophane from his dong. Good show. Austin really was weird back then.
Jane's Addiction at the Backroom, when Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro kept pleading people for drugs between songs.
Slayer in 1991 when some dude emerged from the pit during At Dawn They Sleep with 666 carved in his forehead and blood streaming from his mouth. What Zlavydra above says Slayer is exactly right -- that was a different era of mosh pits.
My favorite was seeing Anthrax just a few years ago. Some guy in a wheelchair was up near the front of the stage, just 2-3 people removed from the pit. His buddy was holding him there and making sure things didn't get out of hand, which was cool. They were both enjoying the show and the energy. Until some dumbass gets on stage and launches himself headfirst into the wheelchair. Just piledrove the poor guy in the chair. Scott Ian just looked up and screamed "What the fuck?!?" into his microphone. His buddy wheeled him out of there. It didn't look good.

I saw VH for their Black and Blue tour when they were a part of the Monsters of Rock that played at Rice Stadium. While the show was great I just felt that it was more Hegar and less VH.
My favorite album was VH II
I was at that show too. Epic trash fight during Dokken's rain-soaked shitty set. Some dude caught a trash can in the back of the head after some upper-level dumbass chunked it over the railing. That's how I know Roth-era was far superior to Hagar-era. As good as Van Hagar was that night, they couldn't compare to the site of that dude getting ambushed by a flying garbage can. But DLR would've topped it somehow -- assless chaps, katana sword displays, rubbing his crotch on some chick's boobs, something. Hagar just ran around shrieking in day-glo workout wear. Advantage: trash can.

A true innovator, with CtC being one of the last remaining unique things out on public media. Amazing legacy. RIP wherever you are...

Well, that was a fail. Tried to post a Nextdoor post: "A car drove into the lawn and hit the trash bin. Just imagine if someone was on the lawn at that time."
Replete with a photo of the trash bin on its side.

The weird part was that the resulting conversation on Nextdoor was 100% civil, even when people disagreed politically. I can see how the shirt could be interpreted as threatening, especially when worn by an open carrier. But the police didn't overreact and the complaining neighbor was widely condemned, even if only as the second dumbass in the situation.
The only truly fair response is to treat everyone involved in that situation like dumbasses.

This article was much discussed on my local NextDoor, since it happened in my neighborhood.
The guy was also open-carrying.Gotta be honest, if someone is dumb enough to wear a shirt like that then they should get all the repercussions that come with it. Including reactive idiots making his life miserable, such as calling the police.

As much as Lowell and Mack suck, Gilmore is the fucking worst. Does he ever say anything positive? What a tool.
