We had to settle for seating to the right of a footpath for the Flaming Lips' set at Summer Fest last July because we were rushing from another stage. The Lips' stage was centered in front of a steep hill and there were two main arteries going down to the beer and merch booths as well as the port-a-potties. So, for the entire set, instead of being able to see and hear the Lips famed stage show, I viewed hundred of legs loudly stumbling towards the beer. At no point in the set did this let up, even slightly. The logistics of the festival are really to blame here, but I'm choosing to get mad at the drunks.

If concerts have seats, I think it's kind of reasonable that people expect to sit and watch the show. If Pearl Jam expect people to stand, they should play GA. I'm pretty certain Pearl Jam's fanbase has progressed past moshpits by now.
I think it’s a little unfair to associate GA shows automatically with mosh pits. There’s a big gap between the “I don’t want there to be moshpits” and the “I want to sit down” feeling. I’m still nowhere near the second one, but I’ve kinda always had the first one.
That was one of my points: that I think Pearl Jam's audience has, for the most part, progressed beyond moshpits and crowd-surfing, so they're not necessarily fair assumptions to make in regards to GA shows. If anything, I think I'd take a GA show if there's a high abundance of irritating crowd behaviour - at least you can move to a more enjoyable position.
The other was that, if seats are provided, then it's mildly ridiculous to have a baseline assumption (which seems prevalent in the Pearl Jam fanbase) that everyone is expected to stand up. I've seen the band in both environments and, while I was one of those standing at the seated shows, I certainly wouldn't have done so unless I was absolutely certain I wasn't going to be inconveniencing anyone.
I find putting as "Pearl Jam's audience has, for the most part, progressed beyond moshpits and crowd-surfing" quite funny. I think it's more like Pearl Jam's music has regressed where they can't spark enough interest for moshoing or crowd surfing. I'm older and I'd still rather be at a concert that's going off with moshing and crowd-surfing knowing that relegates me to the sidelines mostly than a staid affair. I love youthful energy, people don't progress beyond that they just grow old, some earlier than others.
I think moshing and crowd-surfing are ridiculous in every circumstance. The idea that hurling yourself at other human beings is an appropriate way to respond to music is a pretty recent invention; in most cases, I think it's more likely a received wisdom concept of what you're "meant" to do at a rock concert rather some kind of natural response to the music. It's absurd.
I love watching old footage of late 60s shows by Zeppelin, Sabbath and Hendrix where the crowd are either sitting down and actually listening to the band or unobtrusively grooving in their own space.

They made us sit for the acoustic set on 7/11/03.
Were they rude about it?
Ed was actually quite polite.
didnt Ed say somehting like "we arent going to play an acoustic version of Blood" for the reasoning that everyone should sit down?

Me too. This is how I'd like to interact with the band and the audience at pretty much every show I attend.

I am. In fact, I would bet most of the people on this board are the boring people at this point. I would never yell at someone to sit down, but I don't behave like I did when i was 20.
I would be delighted if everyone at every concert I attended just sat down and shut the hell up.
its a concert, not a movie
I don't care.
how would u feel if people sang and danced at the movies?
People can do whatever the hell they want at the movies, I haven't gone to a theater in ages.
