I hear alot about the crowd problems in Milwaukee, this is my take.

-2 super assholes in the venue. One guy kept yelling for lukin and another guy went nuts and was kicked out(I hear he was from Chicago)

-The Riverside is small, I think that made the yelling worse.

-Short distance between the stage and the back of the room on the lower level. Whenever the doors opened you could hear chattering from people in the lobby. I could hear that clearly from the 7th row. Not anyones fault, normally if you just need to talk the lobby is a good place for it.


After that the show was fantastic. Things really improved after the one asshole was tossed out. Clearly the show was affected by a few in the crowd, but i doubt it was ruined. Being from Milwaukee I hate hearing the negative comments about the city/people in it.

    It's always like that...a couple of a-holes ruining it for everyone else.

    It surprised me that the security at the smaller venues Ed played at didn't do more to get rid of people disrupting the show sooner. If someone yelled something while an orchestra was playing there you better believe they'd be tossed ASAP. Maybe I'm generalizing, but it seems like they didn't know how to handle the crowd in some cases...
    I smile, but who am I kidding...
