Question about solo shows
This may be a dumb question, but I haven't found any answer to this in any threads yet, and I was just curious what I'm gonna be in for before I go.
For these shows are most people standing or sitting?
What was it like on the West Coast tour?

you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane.

You're sitting for most of the show. It's different vibe then PJ shows, but really cool. You only stand really for Hard Sun at the end.

Had difficulty sitting through the 7/11/03 preset even though Ed told us to sit cause there wasn't gonna be an acoustic version of "Blood".
it's not like he will be playing any fast PJ songs and the ITTW songs just aren't stand up and bob your head,pump your fist,jump up and down type of songs!(IMO)
smoke a blunt before you go in and relax
8/29/00 - Tweeter Center............5/24/06 - Banknorth Garden............5/17/10 - Banknorth Garden.............08/05/16 - Fenway Park
7/11/03 - Tweeter Center............5/25/06 - Banknorth Garden............6/16/11 - Wang Theatre (EV)............08/07/16 - Fenway Park
9/28/04 - Fleet Center................6/30/08 - Tweeter Center
Even if the songs aren't fast or "rockin", I just have a hard time sitting at concerts.
Oh well, at least I'll have time to prepare myself to sit.
No blunt for me thanks.
lol. j/k.
That's pretty much why I asked this question. I'm worried (well, not worried really) that I'll get first row tickets and be that one guy who's standing while everyone else is sitting (it wouldn't be the first time). And that is just kind of uncomfortable.
Ed will tell the crowd many times during the set to sit down. I was at the Santa Barbara & LA1 show's he did.
Which show's are you attending? If it's any Montreal & Toronto show & we are both in front, let's just stand together. If the crowd get's rowdy, then we'll have to start a crowd surf or something. lol.
I had 4th row tickets to Ben Folds at the Beacon and me and my girl friend were standing and dancing but everyone else was sitting except like 8 other people on the entire floor. We were actually asked to sit by others. Of course I turned around and told everyone, "stand up, its a rock concert." They then proceeded to tell security and we were told to sit down. It was very lame.
Ha, I wish. Can you imagine, Ed saying "please sit down" and standing in the front row and just shouting back "fuck you Ed!"
Too bad I'll be seeing him in NYC. It could have been fun.
then i'm flying into nyc. see what ed would do if we did it. ha.
Ha. Sweet. Maybe he'll be like "fuck this!" and bust into some hard rocking songs.
Happened to me in a similar location for Simon and Garfunkel a few years ago.
If you're too old to let others stand and enjoy themselves, you're too old to be there.
i am actually going to enjoy the change of pace and being able to listen to Ed without 20,000 people singing along.some times i just want to hear the music in a purer form.
to each his own i guess! but if 99% of the people are sitting and there is some asshole standing in front of me blocking my view it could get ugly!
Sounds like an Uncle Neil show I attended in MSG.
"Chirp"
Well, when I'm at a concert, I just don't feel right sitting.
