I look at the spilled beer on the ground, look up, and outright flatten the guy with my fist. He gets up after a moment, and we start at it. Security comes, we both get dragged away.
We managed to convince security that we were both friends just screwing around and took it too far (I had never met this dude). They let us back into the concert, and the guy actually buys a bunch of replacement beers. He ended up with our group the rest of the show, decent dude it turns out.
Thinking back on it, I can't help but wonder why that can't happen today. It seems like back in the day you could get into a knock-out brawl, settle your differences, and then have a drink over the whole deal. Today people just seem to hold a grudge, and that sucks.
The difference nowadays is people don't know where the line is drawn. what starts as some barroom bravado ends up with a gun being pulled and lives are changed forever. That, or he knocks you unconscious with a sucker punch... and then keeps punching your ragdoll body until lives are changed forever. What ever happened to just blowing off some steam?
