WTF is wrong with these people don't thay realize that this isn't like a regular show and that it really piss's alot of people offf. But I like how Ed told the one guy to shut the fuck up , as soon as he came out this drunk starts yelling Lukin!!!! play Lukin!!!! :roll: But obviously he didn't get the message cos he continued doing this all night. :?

It's unfortunate, but there's one in every crowd

and no, I'm sure some people don't realize that it's not like a regular PJ show. They may not follow the band as closely as some of us and just assume if they see Ed's name, it's a rock show and not an acoustic sit down type of atmosphere

I think that asshole won something that I donated at the Wishlist party. I heard him yelling at the most random times the whole goddamn show.

Pearl Jam attracts people who like to rock hard, a subset of whom also like to drink. Some of us can also be quiet when necessary but some people in those categories just have a hard time appropriately switching gears for different circumstances, and some of them have dials that don't seem to have any other setting than get drunk and be loud no matter what. Its annoying, but I try to view it as they can't help it.

at least he was requesting something that ed might actually play.

Last year at the NYC shows some jackass kept yelling out "Hunger Strike!!!!" the whole fucking show.

Why does everyone think we are all supposed to sit? I wanted to stand up and dance. I was forced to sit the whole time amd dance in my chair. That pisses me off. A couple people shouted. So what. Ed wasn't singing at the time. Who decided the songs from ITW were not dance songs? Seems like other people are making decisions everyone.

If I went to one of the shows, I woulda stood.

I wanted to stand and dance last summer in Chicago, but it was Ed who instructed us to sit down and get comfortable. I'm guessing that is what he prefers for these performances. Maybe Eddie thinks sitters are less likely to shout at annoying times than those who stand...

Ed decided ITW was not full of dance songs when he wrote them

i'd love to see a video of you dancing to Guaranteed

I'd actually make a donation to the Wishlist Foundation to see a pic of you dancing to this song

this is eddie vedder... not phish

with the right mind set, and um perhaps the perfect amount chemicals/drugs/beer one can dance to almost anything...

i saw hot chicks paired up dancing slow, to fast hard rock led zepplin songs, back in the 80's

weird is everywhere and that's a good thing. IMO

Obviously the context of these songs are lost on you. :?

Dancing to "Into the Wild" is like making out to "Betterman".

Mods should merge and sticky the threads until the end of the tour .... seems like a common topic once every few days ...

I remember one quote from Eddie on a Boston show cd where he said something like "You know it'd be kinda nice if everyone sat...because we haven't played for a seated crowd in a long time."

When it's an acoustic show and many of the songs are quiet, it's a great feeling to sit there and take it all in, absorbing the words and music.

If you're at a regular PJ show, THAT is when you stand up, dance, and get nuts. It's just common sense though to sit and be respectful at an acoustic concert, then standing up for ovations and appropriate cheering or waiting for the encore, etc.

The most important thing is respect for Eddie, and obviously he appreciates us fans who act like we have a brain and some restraint.

Edit: sorry, forgot to add that heckling shouldn't even exist.

I can't wait for tonight and hope everyone has a good time.

You know, when in Rome and whatnot. When you look around at the other 2,500
people in the room and they're all sitting quietly, enjoying the show, that should
be a big fat clue.

I was at a Lyle Lovett show a while back at a hall where you could hear a pin drop.
I, of course, was seated next to a drunk chick who "shout whispered" to her boyfriend
for the first hour of the show. After several people around us asked her to please be
quiet they finally had her tossed by the ushers.

I kept my mouth shut, but man was I happy when she hit the streets.

Drunk and stupid is no excuse.

I agree!!! I love to stand & dance but not cool if everyone else is seated. & it's just common courtesy to shut the fuck up when someone is talking-I woulda liked to have actually heard more of the storytelling & arc instead of the drunks behind me shouting about how awesome arc is-I guess I'll never really know!? I'm all about havin' fun & NOT telling others what to do but what it really comes down to is just having basic consideration for those around you :roll:

At the first Albany show someone kept requesting Hunger Strike, but calling it something else, I don't remember what they were calling it. It was obnoxious. They might have been calling it "I'm Going Hungry" LOL

At least people stood up during Porch in Albany, that bugged the hell out of me at the first NY show last year, I got yelled at for getting up during the last and hardest song of the first set.

piptart

Porch was amazing last night...I forgot to mention that in my other post.

The only yelling that made sense last night was when the one guy yelled 'Play what you want!!'

I really loved it when this guy and chick behind us kept yelling 'Yelloooowww Ledbetterrrrr' over and over and over. Jeez :roll:

WOW, what a joke.

At Albany 2 some guy kept yelling out "DROP THE LEASH" throughout the entire show. I really wanted to yell out "Hes not gonna drop the fuckin leash!"

et21

In Atlanta night 1 some guy in the front yelled for some song, and Ed said back "Yeah, I'm going to play that song all by my fucking self" or something like that. It was probably Ledbedder or something.
