yes but in fairness thats hypocritical, especially if ed was pissed at
the people drinking, I doubt he was, though, people here shouldnt assume he was getting mad at these people. He is a proffessional.

ed telling them to shut the fuck up is what, a joke?

also you've mentioned that ed drinks during the shows (pj, not solo) and that's fine with me because he's the guy i've come to see....i didn't buy a ticket to listen to the crowd behave like spoiled children...

Some of us are both???? this may be the ruddest reply I have ever read on here. sorry.

And fans can be labeled iddiot becasue they want to hear songs the lead singer wrote, or performed. Gee I thought when Ed braught all the convicts out in Camden 06 and let them play instruments, on last kiss was a waste. I didnt like it but had enough respect mutually for Ed to just deal with it. Would never pass judgement on someoen I valued just becasue I didnt see eye to eye with his other fans.


Honestly people if Ed was as tight assed as you are making him out to be,
Why didnt he do shows where they were not selling alchohol??
Its his choice. If he didnt want to give the impression he wanted absoluteley wanted nothing to do with pj why is he playing their material.
Ill tell you why, becasue he doesnt give a fuck about the stuff that is being complained about.
Now obviously what happens in special circumstances like the thread starter, sucks, but there were thousands at the show, and nobody ended up hurt, except peoples feelings.

You completely misunderstand, perhaps because you weren't there. Ed repeatedly make half-jokes about the audience being quiet and respecting him. He talked about the crowd the night before and how obnoxiously loud they were. He wasn't being a tight-ass at all, but I think he was hoping these shows would be more akin to a Bob Dylan show.

He wanted a respectful, appreciative crowd who didn't treat him like a voice-activated juke box.

As for my comment about there being fans of PJ, fans of Ed's more acoustic, solo stuff, and fans of both... I stand by that comment. I've read countless posts on here from people who had no interest in seeing Ed's solo shows. So doesn't that mean there are some people who like PJ, some who like Ed's solo material, and a great many who like both?

EvilRabbit

Ed certainly wasn't angry about people drinking.

EvilRabbit

People also need to understand that the seats at the Wiltern were crammed in, so you were literally rubbing shoulders with the person next to you. I felt bad for the girl sitting 3 seats away from me, because the guy next to her was rocking out like a drunken retard and repeatedly banging into her.

ed didnt drink any whine at the shows??

and he angrily told fans to shut the fuck up.

thats bullshit if he did, becasue he never shuts the fuck up at pearl jam, he rants and raves about things People take personally.
AND GETS FLYING DRUNK OFF HIS ASS, AND SMOKES LIKE A CHIMNEY.
So all of a sudden he puts out 1 solo album and he is Barry Manilow.
Look I made my points, I was not there, so we cant elevate our debate any more.

Is Ed playing unplugged, is there a drummer, or is it just him. I mean Ed was the one writing things on his arm during their unplugged show, he cant change his past and he shouldnt expect his fans too, that is selling out.

he should not have sold alchohol at these shows.
It would have made the show calmer.

EvilRabbit

Okay, let's all agree that you had to FUCKING BE THERE to comment on whether or not some of the audience members were out of line.

There's too much speculating by people who have no clue what an intimate solo show is like or should be like.

These were not Pearl Jam concerts, people. Understand that.

YES BUT IT DOESNT MAKE ONE SIDE IDDIOTS, THATS ALL BRO.


I get that, and I appreciatE this reply, but what happens here is you get all these other points and people stereotyping.

The bottom line here is this.
People should know how to act in public, thats it, theres a fine line between getting up for beers, and acting like an obnoxious person.
It comes down to all of us getting on the left or right sides, we fight than we agree and than have group hugs,lol

But in the end we are all fans, and it comes down to people dying to come on here and talk shit about their expierences.

andrew the legend

Its not fair that Ed can smoke during the shows and I cant.
All the weirdos always think its cool when he hands out the wine bottle. I just always wished hed give me a drag or 2 on a smoke.

People who don't know how to behave or act respectfully are idiots. I wasn't calling anyone else an idiot.

if it makes you feel better, i noticed in your sig "american idol sucks"

saturday ed was reading the paper and noticed that a carpet company got over 10,000 wrong number calls - all for american idol - apparently their number is close.....well 240,000 people dialed the wrong number to which ed said "american idol viewers are idiots!"

i'm sorry you have a problem with ed trying to put on a quiet, intimate tour....i'm sure come june he'll be up to his old tricks....enjoy!

Okay I wasnt there, but this atmosphere all ready you described doesnt come off as intimate.
There should be less seats, no standing room onlys, and a more relaxed atmosphere, no cramming.

I have been to plenty of intimate shows, they have seats spaced apart, less sound, no beer or at least allowed in the show area. They sell family area seats, more handicapped and no pit.
The lights arent as dim, and tighter security.

You are absolutely right about "they should have..." but it seems Ed, or whoever was responsible for making these decisions overestimated the audience's ability to behave respectfully. The venue might insist on alcohol sales and, as far as I know, there wasn't any "standing room only."

By the way, the best part of the night was the whole Obama gag. Brilliant way for Eddie to announce his endorsement.

I was referring to the two girls on the other side of my wife. They were idiots. They talked/texted all the way through Ed's purely solo stuff (You're True, ITW, etc.) then went ape shit for PJ material and danced like a couple of whores at a Whitesnake concert... No doubt they were strictly PJ fans. Nothing wrong with that, but be respectful of your neighbors who are there for EVERY song.

no I dont have a problem I am more less trying to be sarcastic to some of the fans overall on here this whole week.
The ones who hate weed
the drunk posts
the dont invade my space posts, thats all, Ed makes me want to act more crazy at shows, thats all it comes down too.
I respect what he is doing but a very small part of the fanbase just gets a lil ahead of themselves sometimes. I respect everything you wrote except the iddiot part.

I love intimate shows, i still party at those, I just relax more, its hard to relax crammed in.

I can agree with this, and the whitesnake thing is funny, but on here sometimes it doesnt translate well.

I am picturing 4 guys with yield shirts on asking ed to play release.
And you saying go fucking home this is ed solo.

funny story about american idol that made my day.

Well not much on instruments huh, well that may have made fans angry, its tuff being a performer, you want 1 thing and the fans want another. Fucking Ed
cmon ed Ive said this before.
Do a whole solo act before your shows, like an hour set, also let stone and matt and mike do theie side projects, fuck the other bands he uses.

How cool would that be.
We would all get our wish.
