Apparently Alpine Valley is known for that.

From July 23rd:

EAST TROY-Eighty-three people were arrested during the two-day Dave Matthews Band concert this weekend at Alpine Valley Music Theater, according to a Walworth County Sheriff's Department news release.

Obviously need some incentive to enjoy the concert...

See? Chris Martin IS the Anti-Christ. Well, I did warn people but sadly my words fell on deaf ears...

zoney! · 08-20-2005, 07:44 AM

Damn people from Wisconsin!

VertigoGal · 08-20-2005, 08:07 AM

^Yeah, seriously...I thought it was sort of a given that people get high at concerts.

I am surprised only 83 people were arrested at the DMB concert.

When I saw Snoop Dogg open for the Chilli Peppers, Snoop and his entourage were smoking pot onstage as part of the show (I could smell it there in the 8th row) and actually daring security to do something about it.

Gotta love Snoop.

Anyway, so much for the myth that R&R shows are the one safe place to get high.

Moonlit_Angel · 08-20-2005, 12:10 PM

Pot and Coldplay? Never would've thought of the two together, but meh...*Shrugs*.

Tom Petty's concerts have been known to have pot smokers wandering about, too. In fact, I think Tom himself still smokes the stuff

One of my friends was passing a spliff around at a gig last year when a security guard suddenly wandered over -- my friend was convinced he was about to get thrown out of the venue but the security guy just indicated he wanted a hit and then left us alone, lol. Hilarious.

Funny thread, Dave C!

Btw, awesome choice for avatar!

The UK is making shrooms illegal??

God, I'd better get over there in a hurry.

Lila64 · 08-21-2005, 11:31 PM

There's pot at every show. Rock 'n' roll and drugs go hand in hand. Remember the old saying? Sex, drugs & rock 'n' roll. It's part of the enjoyment. Although I've never done anything like that at a U2 show - it's a natural high for me. Want to be totally aware

JOFO · 08-22-2005, 06:20 AM

I wonder if I'll get arrested for jay walking at a coldplay concert?

Numb1075 · 08-22-2005, 09:42 AM

i was just at the AmsterJam concert in NYC two days ago and Wyclef was singing the praises of pot on stage and snoop dog and P Diddy were smoking pot on stage as was about half the crowd....security did nothing.

IT WAS AWESOME

2Hearts · 08-22-2005, 09:58 AM

The other day I saw some people smoking cigarettes.
