Exactly what I was thinking! Rock concerts that is. I sing along in those because it's all about the atmosphere! You can hardly hear yourself singing along in most of those, let alone others...unless the singer let's the audience sing on their own and then of course you hear everyone. I think it's great and very enveloping having all the people sing the same words as you, with meaning...can be awesome.

Now at other kinds of concerts, where you sit down for the show, such as classical, jazz, musicals, dance shows, etc, then I hate anyone who even makes a peep. Coughers, movers, fiddlers, talkers, whisperers, they will all be fulminated by my glare

I just think at a concert like that where you really do go to hear and/or see the show, you don't want to hear people talking like they're in their own living room right?

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
