Do people typically stand up the whole time at an EV show like we would for a typical PJ show?

    Nope, you sit there in nice comfy chairs with a good buzz on and enjoy the music :D

    And please, do not request the Acoustic version of Blood ;)

    nope, we sit
    eV tells us to sit down at the beginning of the show
    it's very very very very hard to stay seated, even for the slow acoustic songs
    i stood up occasionally and for the last 4-5 songs at the LA shows

    I'm that asshole that just can't sit at a show. No matter how bad the music, I just gotta stand. Go get the usher, and I'll negotiate with him. Helps I'm not too tall myself.

    thanks for the info. i'm looking forward to a more mellow experience. if you're standing up in front of me and your ass all of a sudden gets soaked, rest assured I've just thrown my $10 beer at you

    Definitely more of a symphony-like setting than a Pearl Jam concert setting.

    it's really seated and it doesn't suck
    it's different and can be difficult to stay seated but it's still a very cool show

    I can understand it quite clearly. It isn't a freakin Metallica concert. Ed's got the storyteller role here really in an intimate setting, almost as if you're sitting around a campfire hearin him tell stories through music. plus, like you said, it's a mellow show. I associate standing up with rocking out, which this show isn't. When I was at Mansfield III in 2003, we were all seated for their acoustic opening set, and it was pure magic. Why not be rested and sit as well?

    Well, then... sounds like it's right up your alley.
    You could also try crowd surfing during 'Dead Man'. That should lively up the audience.

    Yeah... i was all jumping up and down and screaming and going ape-shit during 'Dead Man'... man. It was rad.. because i'm so rad.

    Well... actually... i was having a seizure brought on by that food poisoning. Never eat the day old sushi from the discount sushi place, regardless of what a great deal it is.
