Awesome show yesterday in Brooklyn!

That said, the ga crowd need to step it up! So much whining when you want to jump and dance, people seem to have forgotten it's a rock n roll show with the world's best band. How you can just stand there to spin the black circle, corduroy or sonic reducer is beyond me! Hold hands and make out with your gfs/bfs you can do at home, there are seated tickets if you want to eat hot dogs and popcorn!

Now let's make tonight's show a bit more kick ass!!

    I've come to realize that not everyone is nearly as expressive as some of us would like at shows - whether they're introverted, in their own space, what ever. I'm sure there are some that just aren't used to it. What I will say is that a girl near me gave a number of high fives when she saw me rock out, and often would start jumping too. My point is that energy is contagious, and rather than preaching, I'm going to jump like a madman, sing along to every song, and have the time of my life. And if a few people join in, it'll be a trend. And if more people do - it'll be the best night ever.

    I hope you're right :) Gotta think the band gets fired up by a energetic crowd! I'll go with your recommendation for tonight and well see if I get high fives or pushes, elbows and complaining!

    Yeah the ga crowd was weird around me. People talking on their phones, constantly getting beers (which is fine but you missed half the show), a lot of people didn't know a lot if songs. One big ass fight....and some know it alls. As Ed was talking about surfing a lady was like, oh my god they re going to play oceans. A guy next to her said in such a degrading voice, "uh they don't play that anymore." Then Ed started to count 1. 2. 3. 4.
    Overall the ga experience was awesome. I don t let the people around me effect my experience. I thought the crowd was stellar last night. Hopefully we bring our a+ game tonight.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    GA around me was amazing. We were all singing dancing and rocking out. I guess certain areas weren't as animated.
