Great Show Terrible Neighbours
by Traveller on 2023-10-17Queen Elizabeth Theatre - VancouverThe warm-up artist was okay but, sitting in the mezzanine level, the lyrics were a little hard to make out. Ray LaMontagne was incredible and I enjoyed every song. I will def see him again should he return. The musicians with him were very talented and I enjoyed them as well. Unfortunately, I was sitting next to two women that were on their phones, talking (loudly) and singing through the entire concert. I know the venue staff may not be able to control this but it took away from my entire experience. I was so annoyed. I didn't pay $100+ a ticket for some intoxicated fan to sing in my ear. I finally said something close to the end of the concert but these days you need to be careful with confronting such behaviour, especially when they've been drinking. I love going to live concerts but these type of attendees spoil it for the rest of us that just want to sit back and enjoy the music. C'est la vie
