Great show, but at one point security had to drag a 400 pd guy from 5th row out at which point eddie fell over and laid on the ground for about a minute. Then a guy sitting (next to us) in Left front center row K seat 1 (95% SURE ON SEAT # WILL VERIFY)(marked so the fan club can cancel his membership, and ship him a deads pigs head) got up yelled u suck and left. (After soon forget????WTF)
Ed saw through, but I was embarrassed, I could tell he was not impressed with "old milwaukee". When done with Hard Sun (which he made sure rocked) the way he said good bye I could tell he wanted to go.
anyway had to get that seat number out before bed, a waste of a seat when so many fans had to sit behind him. Some fans joked after the show ed will not be back soon.. Lets go Chicago.....
Besides the negative I can't wait for Chicago, It was a great show... opening w/ sometimes kicked but, enjoyed Liam as well. Arc, millworker, other

sad.
I went to both LA shows and then this one - this was 10X worse than either LA show. Right in the middle of the Thomas Young speech, this girl at the end of our row (TC seats) kept yelling "I love you Eddie" and "How's Olivia?"
Really?
I felt so bad for Eddie. Before the first song of the encore he was trying to tell a story, but kept getting cutoff by the yelling and said quietly to someone off stage "do we just end it?" and sometihng else along those lines.
Absolute disgrace, Milwaukee fans... horrible!
The dude who yelled you suck was Row L Seat 1 by the way, I was N seat 3 and he was right in front of me. What a prick.
Great venue, great show, got real sick of the dickheads yelling the whole time real fast.
Luckily I got to shake Ed's hand and say nice to meet you before the show as he was walking in. That basically saved the night for me. That and ARC...wow, a religious experience is the only way I can describe it.

The first wave of yells and "requests" is something that Ed probably understands fully. But when he has to tell you at least 3 or 4 times to "shut the fuck up" - and you can't respect that...well, you're giving the whole crowd a bad name.
I am so thankful that Ed didn't decide to just say "fuck this" and bail early. I think he knew there were just a few bad apples (although seemingly more than he's used to)
He WAS impressed by our singing on Elderly Woman!
I'm sorry for all of the fans that couldn't respect you, Ed! Please come back to Wisconsin again....maybe Alpine Valley!!!!!

Forget Alpine Valley come up to The Big Top in Northern Wisconsin. We'll give you all the respect you need! or (The Deck MN) We have Northwoods "Hippie Class" up here and thrive on acoustical music.

Thats Fricking Great Lol
I hope there is a way to rip these chodes of their memberships.
lol we're gonna get lynched!!!!
the all-mighty vedder got abused and were laughing at it
Trent Reznor's done it. Several times. Kicked the keyboard over and walked off. Now people shut up and listen during Hurt. Ed should drop the guitar and walk off. Seriously. Its how you teach toddlers to behave - the fun stops when they misbehave. People are acting like toddlers and maybe deserve that treatment. I'd feel bad for the fact that its a few bad apples, but maybe its the only way.

:rolleyes:
Ed needed a good slap! He is getting alittle cocky...
I will preface this by saying that I am a true East Coaster - born and raised in NY and now living outside of Philadelphia - and I know that we can be a rowdy bunch. I made my way to Boston II, and while there were some screamers, it doesn't sound as bad as Milawaukeee was. While this is the "East Coast leg"of the tour, please do NOT associate Milwaukee with the East Coast... they are not East Coast and not reflective of this part of the country.
The actions of the few there that were disrespectful should not be associated with East Coast - or with the majority of Milwaukee area fans. They were a handul of classless fools who likely could drink the finest Champagne and spit it out stating "this tasted nothing like Old Milwaukee!"
I am sad and embarrassed that people act like that anywhere, and I give Eddie a ton of credit for finishing the show and not storming off the stage. It must be hard to perform a show with those kinds of distractions, and I know that when I was watching the show in Boston, I was getting frustrated with the knuckleheads.
I hope Chicago (also not part of the East Coast!) has better shows, and hope that Eddie can end this tour on a positive note. I really hope he leaves this experience with a positive taste in his mouth, and decides to do it again. It was a magical evening for me, and I wish others could sit back and enjoy it at that level.
PEACE!
lol

totally dont lump them with us in the east GREAT POST
east coaster>midwesters
deal with it!
ALL IN FAVOR SAY I
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
I agree there is more ranting about it. But I was at SD1 and it compares easily to DC1 in terms of shouters. I think we east-coasters just are more vocal about how much it pisses us off!
But to the original poster- I don't understand- Eddie got pissed and so he laid down on the stage? What, in protest? Aggravation?
You are U, who you are.
So 5-10 people act like assholes and Ed should ruin the show for the other odd 2000 respectful people in attendance? I don't think so.
Honestly i don't really know what the solution is here....i absolutely loved every second of the 4 Ed shows i saw this year...honestly maybe even more than the Pearl Jam shows...i dearly hope Ed does this again sometime real soon. I guess you just have to kind of block out the idiots that so desperately need Ed's (or anyones?) attention.
