    I agree with your overall message, but I don't think there's anything wrong with constructive criticism without stepping over the line. Relative to your main point, I have no problem with the video screens advertising Verizon before the show, but why the heck not just take the next step and use them during the show?

    The problem is that there are quite a few folks who not only step over the line, but dance and spit on it as they pass. There's also the subset of folks that just love to rain on someone else's parade.

    You know, I really didn't need to get up this morning after a fanstastic evening of PJ and friends to read that some loser who wasn't even there thought the setlist sucked and the poster I wanted (but was sold out) sucked.

    To you sad folks, I say find something that makes you happy.

    Life is short.

    I don't get it. You want bootlegs, they're getting you bootlegs. Not only are they getting you fucking FOUR options to pick from, but for one of those options, the mobile bootleg, you don't even have to get off your ass and get on the computer. You literally only have to move your fingers. Maybe we should go back to the days of tapers only where you don't really know what you're getting. Sheesh.

    losts of bitching int he posts today...6/13 - who doesn't want to hear YL - set lists suck - posters are ugly.

    Response : leave early before the play it - don't go then - don't buy one. STOP BITCHING! so critical of every little thing.

    someone was complaining because Ed screws up the lyrics sometimes. He sings a gazillion different songs - he's bound to screw up sometimes. Whatever - if it's all so horrible why waste your time, money & energy. They are touring! be happy - I am.

    A very intelligent and well thought out post. Kudos to you for speaking your mind freely and also kudos to those here that didn't just attack you because they disagreed. You make many valid points and I enjoyed reading about your point of view.
    There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.

    The funny thing is, I could care less about the Verizon thing, t-shirt quality, or ugly poster...yet I am still pissed off that Ed didn't allow open audio recording at his solo shows.

    Maybe that means that I care more the actual music than the surrounding bullshit...(that has grown).
