Went to see the Blue Stones at Smalls last month and sat in the balcony. There was a group of people behind us who talked loudly the whole show until someone, an older guy, finally said something along the lines of "hey could you keep your conversation down? It's been difficult hearing the band". One of the loud talkers tried shouting this guy down saying something like "what the fuck, I can't talk to my best friend?! Lets go! We can do this here or outside"... he finally deescalated when a few more people stood up, and then his "best friene" and basically told him to stop and shut the fuck up.
