    What specifically did he say about the Seattle crowds? If that is true, that hurts my feelings and is pretty fucked up of him. :(
    He just said that the Vancouver crowd had a lot more energy than Seattle. It's your basic rock star "it's great to be here in [inset city]" and "you're such a better crowd than [insert city]". I'm pretty sure the higher remark was just a weed reference.

    everywhere i looked in the crowd last night, people were going nuts. behind the stage, in the uppers, lowers. dudes with no shirts dancing their guts out in the nosebleeds, other dudes singing every word arm in arm, putting eachother in headlocks, high fiving. chicks dancing, swaying with arms around one another. TONS of lighters for appropriate songs, beach ball being pass throughout the floor. as Ed said " it's friday night, and its on!!" there was just a magic in that place last night. everywhere you looked you could see it in peoples faces, and we fed off eachother, and got louder, the band in turn, fed of us, in turn taking us to higher heights. seriously. it sounds cheesy, but it was a circle of energy happening last night that was undeniable. we knew , the band new it. it was special.

    sorry guys, just still reeling from last night...trying to convey what happened in there. it was the best ever.

    He also said that they felt like Vancouver was the real tour opener.

    Also said they were afraid of moving to Vancouver now because in 5 years they would turn into a shit crowd too.

    Don't take it personal, I live in Vancouver and was in that Seattle crowd. I personally think the Seattle crowd was in awe that they are still bringing it after all these years...

    It's kinda hard not to take shit like that personal.

    It kind of makes me not want to see them tonight... :(

    He's a rock star, he doesn't mean the shit he says on stage. Like the 05 Gorge show where he says that they called up and canceled Vancouver. That didn't happen and it was just something to get the crowd more excited.

    Let's face it, being able to drink beer in the arena helps, not to mention it was a Friday night. Enjoy Portland!

    To get this thread back on track, it's great to see the crowd interaction. I loved how Eddie gave the wine out and also grabbed that Who cloth from the 10C'ers on here. My fave was when he picked out the youngster with the headphones and had the crowd pass her a pick. She had a permasmile on leaving the concert with her mom and will be a fan for life.

    The intensity of the crowd here last night was just soooooo fucking amped up!!! Its hard for the band not to feed off of that .....People just went fucking apeshit from beginning to end. Last night was the fourth show of the tour for me and it was by far the best!!!

    Don't even think about not going ....You guys just need to crank it up tonight and Portland and I'm sure the band will treat you to something special!!!

    Cheers

    Don't take those Seattle comments personally ... I was there, and I sure don't. Remember, they were on Monday and Tuesday nights, compared to Vancouver's Friday night.

    The Seattle crowd overall was indeed a bit tamer than I'm used to ... but that doesn't mean I (or certainly the folks in my row) rocked any less than normal. Hell, Seattle 2, I was pretty much out of my head.

    Now, let's hear more Vancouver stories ...

    You know, fuck that. The Seattle crowds suck thread as it is feels like a big steaming pile of shit from folks here over the Seattle shows. And now it feels like Ed just dropped a log on the Seattle shows too. And to someone who truly thought they were something special, well that kind of sucks and detracts from them now that apparently Eddie didn't like us either. :(

    Oh. Sorry to bring any negativity to the thread. I really wouldn't put too much thought into it. I think Ed was probably a bit sauced and was perhaps caught up in the moment. I don't have as much touring experience as some of you but everyone was on fire last night. The band, the crowd, even the beer dude.

    Also, huge shout out to Ryan in row 14 and his gal who were awesome concert companions and brought my friend and I a beer. Great people.

    Good lord it's not like he walked over to you and said "you are the worst person I've ever seen at one of our shows, how can you live with yourself, why don't you just do us all a favor and die". If the crowd in Seattle wasn't amped, which an overwhelming number of people seem to think is the case, and now it is obvious the band noticed it as well, then who cares? If you were rocking your flipping socks off, you did your part.

    Another great set

    Seems a shame they seem to have forgotten they recently busted out brother. We must have been lucky on Europe as jeff kicked the ass of that live
    Totally agree. I was hoping to hear Brother in Seattle. Hopefully I get to hear it in Philly. But what a show in Vancouver.

    So jealous! First Vancouver show we've missed since the 90's. :( So happy for everyone there! :)

    I'm totally with you on this one. I used to live in Victoria, so I'd seen every seattle/vancouver arena/amphitheatre show since 1998 (including the commodore).

    I'm absolutely devistated I missed this one. The thing is if they hadn't scattered out the tour date announcements I probably would of gone. I booked the time off for seattle. Then when Vancouver was announced I could get those days off because they were now full.

    The seattle shows were decent (especially the 2nd night), but all the songs I'd of wanted to hear were all played in vancouver. Indifference, No Way.. and they got Breath on top of that that! Sounds like a killer show.

    I'm pretty devestated I missed it.

    Exactly, I might have been able to do Vancouver and Portland if they announced all the shows at the same time. But by the time Vancouver was announced I had already planned my trip and bought plane tickets. Its nice if they are able to announce shows in one certain geographical area at once.

    I was kinda shocked when I read all that thing about the Seattle crowd too. Although I kinda think that in a place like Key Arena people are inclined to sit down rather than getting up and going crazy. And the fact that it was a weekday show didn't help the matter. That part about Vancouver being the REAL opener for the tour was the stingiest part though. Oh well...hopefully next time they're around (Remember Eddie, you said in a year or two!) we have a more amped up crowd. And maybe I'll actually be in the 10C area and not on the other side of the of the fucking stadium ;)
