    Does that include Ed?
    If Mr. Vedder can go on stage and tell someone he "wants to shit on their head"...

    Then Im thinking I can go to his show and scream out requests..............

    I have no idea what you're talking about. But assuming he said something like that, that one statement gives all of us the right to act like assholes at all EV concerts henceforth?

    Shouting during quiet songs people paid $100 to hear?

    made him ... want to be everywhere
    there's a ... lot to be said for nowhere."

    Its a concert...

    people like to yell and scream at a concert.....

    and like I said ...

    I would much rather hang out with the person who is yelling and screaming....

    than hang out with the person who is telling me how to behave and threatening to have me removed from the venue because i am having fun.
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    Speedy, how would you feel if some drunken buffoon was singing into your ear with a rolled up poster so you couldn't really hear the voice you came to hear?! How would you feel if the same drunken fatso was spilling beer on your feet and flaying his arms around so much he hit you a few times?

    Are you telling me you'd enjoy that and wouldn't be annoyed? :?

    I see that at all PJ shows, too, and don't mind it there. But don't you consider the EV (acoustic, seated theater) shows something different?

    i didnt have the change to see ev solo,,but this is like a theater play i suppose,,with music too..and isnt good people shouting and ask songs...i think people in general can hold their voices down,,
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    typically I hate it... except the guy in Albany who screamed "write a check" after ed was ranting that it will cost $12 mil to make the hudson swimable again...

    thought that was kind of funny

    A guy at Philly I announced the Phillies score and that they were beating the Mets. The whole tact of it though was it was timed correctly and he wasnt telling Ed, he was telling the crowd and everyone cheered. Even Ed seemed to enjoy the moment.

    However, I have experienced once these things turn to sports they get out of control for awhile. Especially in the East where you have people from 3-10 major cities attending

    Respectfully Speedy, couldn't disagree more. It's frankly just not cool to yell out shit and ruin the experiences of others. Doesn't mean you can't yell "Soon Forget" thirteen times even after EV said he's made up his set list with a caligraphy pen and he ain't takin requests.... It simply means that you're acting like a douche and everyone around you wishes you'd simply shut the fuck up.

    I hear ya...

    and I still say I would rather hang out with the guy who is having a few beers, enjoying himself at a show, and screaming out a few requests....

    First, I should apologize for using poor language. Doesnt' help my campaign for a respectful crowd.
    I should remember my mom told me long ago that profanity is a crutch for an idiot.

    For the record, I don't mind someone that yells out a request if the mood and environment is right... at the EV solo shows, it is very clear that Ed doesn't care for it. Discourages it explicitly... to the point where you can tell he's getting pissed off. Tonight's "Freebird" example was at least funny. Still, he made a point to everyone tonight that he thoughtfully made up a set list... and wasn't taking requests. That should have been enough for people to settle in, channel the Ryman's historic vibe, and enjoy the show.

    I'm all for having a good time. Can't NOT have a good time in Nashville, hitting the honky tonk bars and putting down a few (or several). I'm not trying to be all holier-than-thou... don't care for the snoots either, but it's far worse IMO to have the guy that can't realize he's selfishly pissing off everyone around him.

    Enough from me... peace. Here's to a good show Thursday.
