This has been the case at every concert I've been to with an audience larger
than ~3000.  The medium doesn't seem to matter; it happens at Neil Diamond
concerts as much as at AC/DC ones.  Or does this only happen in Pittsburgh?

[Disclaimer: I have never been to an AC/DC concert.  However, being related
to someone who not only craves hard rock/punk/new wave but thrives on the
noisy concert environment tends to get me detailed reports.]
