My thoughts and feelings about last nite's Mlwaukee show.

I so looked forward to this show and am getting alittle upset by all the Milwaukee bashing. Were not all loud mouth drunks that act like assholes at concerts. All over this world there are some bad apples that can ruin a great moment.

For the most part the yelling didn't bug me. I enjoyed the show so much. But when Ed slammed the mic down I knew it was bad. I feel so awful for those that came from out of state for this show. I'm embarrassed how Milwaukee is being judged. Maybe it's cause I'm tired from yesterday that I feel a little emotional.

It actually brings tears to my eyes that PJ or Ed maybe won't ever play Wisconsin again because of last nite. Many Milwaukee people that I know that went to the show are so sorry for what happened. Like I said I'm very drained of energy today. Thank goodness I called the rest of the day off from work.

I'm so sorry and upset about last nite and how this is making my hometown look. I've traveled all over this world and back. I miss many cities I've been too and look forward to going back to many of them. BUT I'M DAM PROUD TO CALL MILWAUKEE MY HOMETOWN.

Peace

    Don't sweat it -- I highly doubt this would keep PJ from coming back. Their show is way different than Eddie's...

    For people who went to multiple shows, was last night's really that much worse with regard to yellers?

    When and why did Ed slam the mic down in Milwaukee?

    I'm from illinois and i love everything about wisconsin, if my girlfriend would agree I would move to wisconsin in a minute. I would choose seeing pearl jam in wisconsin over seeing them in illinois every time. So Patrick Milwaukee is a great place dont feel bad because some morons wanted to ruin an otherwise unbelieveable show.

    It happens everywhere. Don't feel bad about your hometown, I personally feel more bad for Ed, he wants to do this solo thing and have it be respectable but a few assholes spoil it for everyone.

    don't worry about it pat....it's getting toward the end of the tour and i think ed is just frustrated...you would think by now people would know to shut the fuck up....especially when the artist tells you so

    hope the show was great otherwise :)

    If your busting me on my spelling ok it's called a microphone. :D

    He did it after Hard Sun and walked off stage not with a smile on his face thats for sure. My friend that hasn't seen a PJ show since 1998 even leaned over and said. ''that's not good''.

    I wouldn't doubt if he burned that shirt that got up on stage. :(

    Well at least the last show at alpine was a good one. Thank goodness for the bootleg. :)

    It is not the city of Milwaukee's fault, there were a ton of Assholes at DC1 and I am sure some of them were from out of town just as I am sure some of them were form the DC area. And I drank a lot of Milwaukee's best in high school and college.

    I really appreciate your thoughts. I really looked forward to this show and was excited that Ed decided to put Milwaukee on the schedule. Although the excessive chattering and shouting of several "overly excited" members of the crowd was a real bummer, I left the venue with the belief that although he was frustrated Eddie left the majority of the crowd feeling as though they witnessed a musician/icon taking chances and delivering a performance layered with nuance. Today, I am also trying to remember that whenever someone is willing to take risks not everyone else is ready for the ride.

    after eddie slammed the mic down, a big beer can should've landed on him.

    DC1 was bad but at no time was ED pissed off the way last night sounded or by reading the review of the show.

    WRONG....

    Ed and the band love Alpine, plus Ed's smart enough to know this does not reflect on WISCONSIN. Even if he did I meet as many FIBS there as WI folks.

    They'll be back. Maybe not solo Ed..although I'm not sure if that will occur anywhere for some time after the end of this tour.

    I share you're emotions Patrick...its why we waited outside the bus well into the evening after Ed dashed out....hoping to thank him

    Milwaukee is an incredible city and you can be damn proud to call it you're hometown! :)

    Great job yesterday and I also enjoyed the show....to bad it kind of "climaxed" negatively.

    Patrick, it was a pleasure to meet you yesterday and thanks for all your hard work on the fundraiser. Being from out of town I thought the show was great! There are dumbasses everywhere and people like you and most people on this site are great fans and act that way. I come to Milwaukee quite often for business and it is a great city and I always look forward to coming back. Thanks again!

    i've been reading about the milwaukee show and feeling so relieved that the newark show was relatively well-behaved...
    but, listen...

    the newark venue, NJ Performing Arts Center...
    did not allow drinks into the theater.

    i think it made a huge difference.

    and i am so sorry a few MORONS made it so uncomfortable for the majority of the audience and for eddie :(

    Yes, I thought Millwaukee was Algonquin for "The good land"

    Thanks for your thoughts. I understand why you would take it personally but what can you do about it now? Try to forget about it and if you see any yellers on the streets, spit on them.

    Ditto...great town and really a great show if about 5 individuals had not been there. IT ended badly, but I don't think it was due to Milwaukee...its been building up in Ed...from the mouth of the TOUR MANAGER.

    Add to that Ed has some other heavy personal stuff on his mind right now!

    Make Ed smile Chicago!! :)
