    Brad- 4/21/12 (RSD Performance), 4/27/12, 8/10/12

    The reason we weren't singing back was because we yelled out our voices from all the other songs! I could barely song Betterman because I was singing so loud before, my voice was almost gone!

    Not sure if this has already been posted, but it pretty much sums up my take on the show and the audience:

    hahaha, that guy obviously wasn't there. yes PJ was great, but the crowd was hardly "earthshaking," really...earthshaking? and ed wasn't pissed macklemore "sold out three consecutive nights." it was a "fuck you" in jest after mccready held up three fingers after ed referred to the two shows macklemore was playing and raising money for the orion charity. jeez, maybe you weren't there either, or in the 300 section :lol:

    Obviously... because as we all know, Rolling Stone writers are complete and total strangers to PJ gigs. I mean, they've only had in-magazine reviews for the last 5 PJ shows I've attended.

    Rolling Stone's lack of experience with music, rock'n'roll shows, and crowds in general, also makes it easy to surmise that "the guy obviously wasn't there".

    Which is why the writer utilized the phrase "take a playful jab" and the word "jokingly". And why the writer never specified who the f-u was actually shouted at. Along with the f-u, Ed did say a few f-him's... which also appeared to be a "playful jab", "jokingly" directed at Macklemore.

    do you really need to shit all over this show and city in this thread too?

    I was there... 107 row 2 right next to the lighting booth. From there I could see the entire floor, the seats on the sides, the nosebleeds behind the stage. At no point during the show was I disappointed with this crowd (I admit 09 was pretty dead, especially night 1). Ive said it in another thread, the crowd was drowning out the entire band at times, not just Ed. The sing along thing? People really need to stop overreacting about that shit...

    Side note: I was completely sober for this show, I remember it well.

    Was there even a 300's section? We were in section 219, and we were second to last row behind the stage :think:


    I didn't think the audience sucked, our section was pretty awesome! I agree with what others said, the reception of a show can be different depending on where you are. In Philly in GA, I sang and screamed so loud I think I hurt my diaphragm :oops: :lol: I would still say, from the shows I attended, Philly 1 was the best, crowd and show and all. But Seattle was special and by no means lame.
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue! http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/148993/please-pearl-jam-consider-a-vinyl-benaroya-hall-re-issue

    no... there is no 300 level... starting to wonder if this dude was even actually there or if he's just being a mega troll :roll:

    To be fair I kept referring to my seat in 228 as being in the back of the 300's. I guess I'm just used to other venues.

    The Sirens sing along was weird I think because no one knew what to do. The song is still too new :lol:
    NERDS!

    I was at Spokane and Sirens didn't have the weird sing along. I will admit that Non-US crowd are way better singers though. :lol:
