**SPOILER ALERT** tour question

The lights Eddie swings from during the show (in my case green)...do you think he had any input on that? Did he asked the crew for something he could safely climb and mess around with during the show (in my case, porch)? You just have to think that, although he has calmed over the years, crazy Eddie still lurks in there somewhere. I love it, good for photos and adds a little drama to the show...I do get a little concerned with mixing acrobats and alcohol however.

    It is definitely planned or staged. I think it's about as spontaneous as saying "thank you goodnight" when there are still more songs to come... Even at wrigley I noticed the rigging on the light he swings on is different (surely more stable) than the "other" lights... Not to mention it's on its own rig or crane, it went back up later than all the other globe lights. I think it is a much better idea to have something SAFE to swing from than the old days of climbing on anything he could reach... But it's a bit staged... Like that's the big end tom the show. porch seems tomalways be in the same set spot now, and you can expect the globes and the climbing... Now if he tried swinging on the other globes, then it might get interesting. ;)

    Its definitely staged but I think its cool every time. I will admit that BK 1- my first show of the tour- made it more special because I did not know it was coming.

    I'm pretty sure they added the rope handle for the other shows after he jumped on the light during porch in London.

    I have seen the handle, it kind of ruined it for me. Cool idea though.
    Wind this thing up.
