Do: Dance
Don't: Sing (unless everyone else is or instructed to by the band)
Do: Drink
Don't: Pass out before the show starts (saw this happen at a Radiohead show)
Do: Light a fat one when Willy starts the first notes of Whiskey River (that seems to be what everyone else does)
Don't: Bring your glowstick accessories to a rock show.
Do: Dress comfortably
Don't: Go shirtless
Do: Sit if you want to
Don't: Tell other people to sit because you're lazy.
Do: Cheer the band
Don't: Ask for Freebird or yell "Wooooo!" for no reason.
Do: Listen to the music
Don't: Use your cell phone so your buddy can listen; he should have come to the concert himself.
Do: Take a picture
Don't: Use your camera phone.
And finally, the biggest DON'T of all: Don't effing crowd surf. Crowd surfing is the biggest concert no-no of all time: it's dangerous, it has nothing to do with the show, it distracts other people from seeing the show, it's a way for women to get groped, and it was a much cooler idea in that trust fall exercise you did in middle school. Stop it.
