Listening to some live CD the other day and the guy said something like "feelin' high"... and the stadium erupted in joyous cheer.

Do 40,000 people really think "feelin' high" is THAT cool?!?

If they're 14 year old Dave Matthews Band fans, they do.

If you were in high school over the last say 40 years, you'd know the reason for this.

Wow this is crazy. Have you EVER been to a concert, party or friend's house? Jesus

Sounds like some one (or toad) just discovered Frampton Comes Alive?
Or Under the Table Dreaming (oh wait that's not live that's Memorex)

Er...how old are you?

You should hear a concert crowd when the performer say 'fuck' .. it's a real pleaser.

Preemptively: "Freebird" is the name of a song by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

i'm high right now.

The F-word always makes the youngins cheer.

I wonder the same. It must be high school kids, or people pining for high school. Approximately 20% of all gamertags on Xbox live have something to do with weed (Deceptor420, Killa Nugs, Herbinator, Killa Herb 420).

No, I'm Toad - not Jesus. Understandable mistake.

Yes, I've been to several concerts, thrown many parties, and once went to a friend's house (mom had to hold my hand across the street though).

I'm 26, and personally find "getting high" lame, and teenieboppers who cheer it on even lamer.

While it was DMB, it was not "Under the table and Dreaming", but a live version of a song off a different album ("Before these Crowded Streets").

I love music and lyrics, I just can't stand lyrics about getting high/stoned/drunk/fucked up/lit/blazed/etc. Seems so unimaginative to me. If you don't agree - more power to you.

The fascination with weed, the word fuck, the number 69, has always somewhat puzzled me.

Hey, I love smoking up from time to time, and everyone drops F-bombs here and there, but amount of celebration these things get is weird.

WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

when the band staind plays the song "outside" live everyone always cheer during the line "but I smoke, so much weed then anyone"

So do you partake in 69-ing or not?

If you were high right now you'd find what you just said hilarious.

"I went to see a band in New York. The lead singer got on the microphone, and he said "How many of you people feel like human beings tonight?" Then he said "How many of you feel like animals?" And everyone cheered after the animals part. But the thing is, I cheered after the human being part because I did not know that there was a second part to the question."

Heheh... that guy ruled.

Seriously, I've never really understood the hippy/pothead following that Dave Matthews Band has accumulated over the years. While it does have a bit of the same "vibe" to it, the music doesn't really lend itself to drug use. I haven't heard any DMB songs where they break off into an extended mind blowing jam or anything. Haven't these people heard of Phish and the like?

Anyways, rock crowds cheering for certain words/phrases is just one of those things that's been going on since before our time and will go on long after we're all dead. However, I've always wondered: Does the audience at a Bryan Adams concert cheer at the end of each chorus to "Summer of '69?" Any reports from the front lines?

comparing the DMB crowd and the (RIP) Phish crowd is like comparing apples and..... steak.

I'd also be a loser.

They do. Some of their live songs can go to about 15-20 minutes, which is pretty long for them (and very long for most bands).

fans cheer when he says he's high because

1. most of em are high too at that point
2. all the rest cheer at anything the guy on the mic says anyway no matter what it is

Is that the actual lyric? If so, those idiots need to go back to school and learn grammer.

Your first mistake was listening to Dave Matthews. YOU musta been high to want to hear his horrible voice in the first place.

ok ok, I know everyone digs them.... well I dont. I hate his voice....So there!!
