I know I keep staring at them too
I know, where are they going? what are they doing instead? I'm not leaving until the band comes out and tells me it's over.

probably not fans. just city folk who got tickets for the 'thing to do'. Brought a date and decided to bail to meet some friends out at some trendy watering hole
This is when I wish there was a separate line...leave early, give your ticket to the guy in the line who re-claims your spot at no cost.

“I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”
Stage has full crew on. Something's about to happen.
They waited it out for us... and it wasnt short... Gotta love them for it... You know they are now going to come out extremely determined and probably pissed because they are probably goin back and forth with Wrigley and City people about curfew...

Time to get on stage... Cover... Thunderstruck... drop the mic and walk off stage... cue lights, party is over
:corn:
I have been feeling really bummed here lately about not getting to attend any of the recent shows and none of the upcoming ones, but I must say that while I feel for those who are there, recent events makes sitting on my couch in PJs watching Breaking Bad reruns a lot more pleasant. Anyway, I hope the folks who endure the delay get a great show...eventually.

06/22/03 – Verizon Wireless Music Center: Noblesville, IN
attendance: 13,578
support act: Buzzcocks
set: Long Road, Interstellar Overdrive/Corduroy, Whipping, Save You, Given To Fly, Cropduster, I Am Mine, Thin Air, Gimme Some Truth, Present Tense, MFC, Habit, Jeremy, Even Flow, Better Man/(Why Can’t I Touch It?), Black, Porch
enc 1: Soldier Of Love, Blood, State Of Love And Trust, Do The Evolution, Alive
enc 2: Smile, Elderly Woman, Sonic Reducer, Yellow Ledbetter
notes: The crowd is space for the openers, Buzzcocks and Ed mentions that, saying he knows there were not a lot of people around to hear them but he knows he was out there watching and that he was honored to be on the same stage as Pete Shelley. Opening with ‘Long Road’ (also the 98 opener at this venue), PJ continues into the ‘Interstellar Overdrive/Corduroy’ combo (the 2000 opener here).They tear through the next few songs, including intense versions of ‘Whipping’ and ‘Save You,’ with the crowd getting into the music and singing every verse with the band. Ed takes note and backs away from the mic and smiles at the crowd. They slow down the tempo with ‘Thin Air,’ the crowd recognizing the song and singing. ‘Gimme Some Truth’ is played early with Ed showing his rage, shouting, and doing the Pete Townshend windmill and a few kicks. ‘Habit’ is dedicated to someone in the crowd with a giant tattoo of an alligator on his back. ‘Jeremy’ gets the crowd to a frenzy. A searing ‘Even Flow’ includes, “… looking through the papers though he doesn’t know to read … dumb fuck.” During ‘Better Man.’ the crowd isn’t singing very loud in the now traditional let the crowd sing the first part. Ed asks if the crowd wants to do a bit more singing during the ‘Why Can’t I Touch It?’ tag, but they are still holding back. Ed responds, “Come on boys, we ain’t gonna call you a faggot!” which works. Ed lays down on the stage behind an amp during the solos in ‘Black’ and ‘Porch,’ and is still blowing his nose in a towel. Returning for the encore, the crowd chanting “Eddie, Eddie” to which he responds, “Fuck you … how dare you embarrass me in front of friends.” He sings a little snippet of the Jackson 5′s ‘Going Back To Indiana,’ leading to ‘Soldier Of Love’ with Ed singing on his knees for emphasis. They burn through the encore with Mike and Ed leaning on each other during ‘SOL&T.’ On returning for encore two, Ed thanks the crowd for being a real “Friday night crowd” on a Sunday night and he notes Stone on bass and Jeff on guitar, leading to ‘Smile,’ “a request for THAT guy” (a fan in the front row wearing a beanie with “smile” written on it and gets the harmonica at the end). Ed chats about Jeff growing up in a very small town “285? 385? 885? … that was the year after they got the big fuckfest.” He says Jeff would have gotten chairs thrown at him by Bobby Knight if he’d grown up there, leading to ‘Elderly Woman.’ Screaming “all right … let’s go” preface a frantic ‘Sonic Reducer,’ which appears to be the end of the show as the band walks off, but Mike starts into ‘YL’ and they stay. Ed modifies the lyrics, “… all these pussies leavin’ early… fuck you! (laughs) And I see them, I’d like to wish it all away. And they’re all so responsible, showin’ up for Monday morning, to work in accounting. And I see ‘em. The rest they know how to play, the others they go home in the boxer or the bag …” The band lines up, does a deep bow together and that closes another outstanding show at this venue.
