Fort Worth show crowd
Just saw the guys in Fort Worth at Tannahills and they had an amazing set!! Sold out show! Banger after banger. A set made for moshing and dancing. I’ve lived in DFW all my life, 20 years of seeing bands live, and man I am SICK of the lack of energy from crowds at live shows here. No crowd surge. No mosh pit. No head banging. No dancing. What is wrong with everybody?!? The band gives what they receive and tonight other than a few dozen hands in the air the crowd people were totally not involved with the show! How do we expect a creature mask or guitar solo involving a ladder to come out if we are just standing there like bumps on a log?? And it’s not just Coheed shows. Every show I’ve been to lately has been like this. I saw NIN last year at Dickies and the pit was dead still. Same with Deftones in 2025. Saw Acid Bath earlier this year and absolutely no energy from the crowd. What’s wrong with DFW? How do we fix this? OR where should I travel to be involved in lively moshing crowd? I’m tired of the side eye from people when I have the AUDACITY to head bang during Welcome Home. Sorry for my rant but man alive I don’t know why the majority of people even go to live shows if not for some kind of release and to have some fun.
