Concert etiquette is so funny. The second day of ACL I spent most of my time keeping my front row spot at the same stage, which was a task. After standing in the same spot for 5 hours, I got to know the people around me. We watched Paolo Nutini with a girl wearing all black in 95 degree weather. Frankly I am quite surprised she didn't keel over and pass out. Then for Blue October we made our way to the front row to meet a group of people camping out for a concert that was 4 hours later at that same stage. They chose to not stand during Blue October causing the people around them to get a bit agitated to say the least. Although I thought it was weird, I never thought people would be complaining that they could see better since the people in front of them were sitting down. This group held their ground even though fighting words were exchanged. We actually ended up befriending this group and found that even though they came off tough, they were really quite nice, even offered us their food. Eventually, they stood up once the Arctic Monkey's came on, and probably taught the complaining people a lesson since most of them stood at around 5'11.
