I loved your etiquette comment. I was at an Eagles concert a few years ago. Don Henley told the front to sit down. The people behind you are not here to see your obnoxious self, they are here to see us. So sit down 😀
I grew up in 1960's and going to concerts mostly meant symphonic concerts, jazz sessions and most were at the Royal Albert Hall to listen live. At a Beatles concert I was disappointed because the crowd were screaming so much I couldn't hear the music. A Bob Dillon concert in 1964, when I sat next to Paul McCartney who was sitting with the other Beatles. We are in a bbox on the left. The audience was mesmerized by the musical experience. We pay lots of money for tickets, take the time to hear the artists live. Please leave rude behavior outside of the venue. Thank you for reminding gentlemen how to be polite. Pam B.
@@ChinuaNnahiri-bq2cz don't worry it's always defendingly loud, also whos screaming in the mosh, pits have always been the places of the loudest singing
When you do "classical" music concert etiquette video, make sure to mention people should absolutely avoid coughing or clearing one's throat in silent times in a concerto, in between movements, and during the middle movement -- adagio, and absolutely never during anyone's solo performance. Best time is during applause. Also don't applaud in between movements! Have a mild cough-drop or lozenge ready just in case, and open the wrapper very very silently, or bring it in saran wrap or a small plastic bag that doesn't make crinkling noises.
I agree. I went to symphony performance a couple months ago and didn’t even enjoy it because there was so much coughing going on during the pieces being played.
As a young(ish) adult musician in a colder climate (Tasmania) I and many of my contemporaries really relished dressing up at concerts, both as performers and audience members. Especially at smaller, more intimate venues (including a bunch of art openings etc), wearing a sport coat and tie and polished shoes (albeit in a much more 'casual' mode than one would in a more professional environment) was seen for what it was, putting in effort but also enjoying yourself. The rules were loose to the point of non-existent, which meant you could experiment and get away with obvious fashion crimes, which is, let's admit it, a lot of fun.
Opera ? Opera is a multi-faceted, full immersion art form, including AUDITORY (vocal/singing, instrumental, alternating or combining at times) VISUAL (set design, props, costumes, lighting, movement of characters) INTELLECTUAL & EMOTIONAL (plot, story line, emotive actions) So make sure you all don't interfere with the rest of the audience getting to see it all, blocking their view with a big hat on (ladies), or ruining the mood with coughing, or noisy candy/cough-drop/lozenge wrappers. Generally opera is formal / nowadays, semi-formal is ok, but either way, wear something comfortable. Turn off cellphone or don't even bring it at all. Don't interfere with visual attention for other audience, by lighting up a wristwatch backlight. etc
I used to be that "no earplugs ever at a concert" guy but then I was also marshalling at motor races at the same time as I was attending concerts the most and well my ears took a beating. I found that plugs would cut out the really high notes enough to make the music sound actually better.
Can you do a video on where to actually buy suits- both in store and online. And possibly tailoring advice- how does one get a ready made suit tailored to fit fairly snug/ less loose around the waist & broad on the shoulders? myself for instance I have quite broad shoulders and a big chest so suits tend to be very tight round the top and loose round my waist -
I have been to many concerts. I saw David Bowie live in the 1970s. I certainly wasn't thinking about what anyone was thinking about me . I was enjoying myself and letting my hair down.
Those of us who are classical musicians AND gentlemen would ADORE it if you could do a video on classical music concert etiquette. These days, classical music concert etiquette is all but forgotten. And I’m not talking about the vagaries, like standing during the Hallelujah Chorus, but: - Not clapping between movements. - Turning off your cell phone. - Keeping babies as far away from the venue as possible. This last one is, perhaps, the MOST important. A little true story … I was a violinist in an all-Wagner concert. After the intermission, the conductor raised his baton and, at that very moment and no other, a baby started to shriek. It was like his parents had attached him to a paint shaker. To his credit, the conductor kept his arms in the air long enough for the parent of the scream-demon to realize he wasn’t going to start unless she silenced her baby. Realizing there was no soothing her imp, she took the walk of shame: Everyone in attendance heard her shoes clop-clop-clop down the stairs of the wooden and highly reverberant hall. Once she was gone, the audience applauded.
Gentlemen, please create a video demonstrating how a gentleman manages his finances, specifically focusing on how to secure a high-ticket sales job like you did.
@@Gent.Z Please do a video on finances. I recently came across your channel and I really like your content as a young gentleman. However I need to find a job and sales seems like a good idea
Very sensible tips! Love your comments on being respectful to others - as well as consideration for the health of your hearing. I'd be very proud of a male partner or friend who behaves this way. If I was on a date, it would lead to a second one for sure :)
I had exactly that experience too! I went to a country music concert and even the music star pointed me out and ridiculed me (that was extremely rude off-putting! to be the star on the stage ridiculing an individual customer) I came straight from work wearing city-slicker business clothes, while the rest were all wearing jeans and big-plaid and t-shirts.
While I mainly agree that moshing isn't the most 'gentlemanly' thing to do, it's still a lot of fun and something I enjoy. I've been to a lot of heavy metal and punk rock concerts and it's always a good time and an appropriate venue to go full contact. People protect the vulnerable close to the pit and help each other up when they get knocked down. Also, when I go to concerts, I try to wear pants or shorts with zip up pockets. Lots of people lose their phones, wallets, etc in the crowd. Lots of sunglasses wind up getting broken.
And one about the Styler and Profiler, Nature Boy Ric Flair in his 80s heyday, not how he dressed later or now and definitely not how he dressed in the 70s. 😂
Be a gentleman, don’t go to concerts. Pick up your beau, go to a bar. Watch the peasants through your screen fighting in mud, sweat and other fluids. Remember how fun it was when you were young and those days are over and be thankful for the amazing life you’re building now. But if one is into it, no shame as well, enjoy.
Gent Z is on a roll, first an interview with Antonio Centeno now this 🤘....way to go

What do you mean you sat next to the Beatles?

Just started this year’s concert season with Interpol in San Antonio, TX. Those guys are the epitome of rock etiquette
They are a well-dressed bunch for sure

Oh yeah, I know what you mean. Why do people decide to have the worst coughs and colds at operas and classical music concerts.
@@thechairman74 Well I've never been that person, but I would assume the people who are coughing aren't choosing to do so
Good points. Between movements, there is often a cacophony of coughing. Definitely a lot to explore with classical concert etiquette
@@trashbird2253 Yeah I don't think anyone wants to intentionally cough but given the acoustics of most concert halls, it only makes the noise louder.
I agree. I went to symphony performance a couple months ago and didn’t even enjoy it because there was so much coughing going on during the pieces being played.
Could you please do a video about how a gentleman should wear when attending college? It´s really a confusing matter.

Hi, I would’ve loved to hear about going to the Opera theatres on what you would wear in appropriate things to do

One of your most timely,and comprehensive vids. Great job!
Thank you, Sam
Going to see Gary Clark Jr. and a Hawaiian Reggae festival this summer! Super excited!
Sounds great. Enjoy!
I’m gonna go to a rock concert of Green Day soon . This video is a gem for that purpose. Cheers
Green Day grew up in my neighborhood! I still see Billy Joe every once in a while down the street!

A little true story …
I was a violinist in an all-Wagner concert.

It was like his parents had attached him to a paint shaker.

I am not sure that you make this video but hotel etiquette sounds a good idea
Absolutely!

I know a guy that went to a Van Halen show..right from work..and he had a suit on,and he said the band were looking at him like…WTF?
I had exactly that experience too! I went to a country music concert and even the music star pointed me out and ridiculed me (that was extremely rude off-putting! to be the star on the stage ridiculing an individual customer) I came straight from work wearing city-slicker business clothes, while the rest were all wearing jeans and big-plaid and t-shirts.

I could picture you with a Walther PPK doing security at the concert for sure!
What would you wear around the house ,to look classy but to relax????
Please do an analysis of Tony Sopranos style!
And one about the Styler and Profiler, Nature Boy Ric Flair in his 80s heyday, not how he dressed later or now and definitely not how he dressed in the 70s. 😂
Patrick bateman
Please tell me this was satire! Hilarious !
As an autistic man, can I wear a harrington jacket, a sports shirt, and jeans to a concert, or does it look weird?
Concert & gentleman?
I would also say clap for performer but do not whistle , so annoying.
Don’t wear the band’s tshirt to the show.
Be a gentleman, don’t go to concerts. Pick up your beau, go to a bar. Watch the peasants through your screen fighting in mud, sweat and other fluids. Remember how fun it was when you were young and those days are over and be thankful for the amazing life you’re building now.

I was actually expecting you to suggest the Opera or Theater instead going to concerts. But bar will do alright , 😎
