Did I miss something? Did Eddie actually get pissed at the crowd again this tour?
looks like he smashed the hell out of a gibson sg and then bashed his mic stand because of the crowd.
I truly don't think he smashed it because of the crowd. I saw him run through the crowd later in the show. He was in good spirits. I think it's just fun to smash stuff haha.
I attended the Tampa show. Sec 114 row F. Ten Club drawing. 1 of 3 shows I entered the lottery and the one I was awarded. So thankful I attended. Danced on the rail, drank too much, enjoyed the lights and music. Band was on fire, Set list perfect. From my ears it could have been bit louder but that's what I like. It was definitely not too much bass from my section in the large TPA arena building. About 2/3 way back on Mike's side ie. corner back end zone Did like the Lightning Bolt effect. I've seen the band numerous times. 100% loved the show in Tampa. Like it was designed for me....and 18,400 other rabid fans. Good times for sure!
I just don't get it. I've never been to an arena or festival concert where the crowd wasn't loud, where people didn't appreciate the band, or where I even thought twice about a vibe. If we were talking about the vibe in a club show of 400 people, sure, I could discern it. For example, at the latest RNDM show of maybe 100, I did walk out to smoke and told they door guy, "I'm totally not feeling it." And he laughed . . . because the songs were boring!! How the hell do you judge the vibe of 25,000 Pearl Jam fans in any generalized way? That's just really weird to me. IMO, if you are spending time in a sold out arena trying to figure out the crowd, you're the one who's not really paying attention to the music.
