Good manners at eddie's gig

arq

Please this is for those who make Eddie's gigs an unpleasant experience:

If you're going to drink don't get drunk at the venue you have 364 days of the year to do that, believe me you'll keep better memories of the gig if you drink after.

Please don't talk in the middle of the songs or when Eddie is talking, the people around want to enjoy the gig and don't want to hear your opinion or your unimportant life, you can share the story of your whole life after the gig with a few beers.

Don't yell "i love you Eddie" Eddie knows that already because you're there.

There'll be plenty of merchandise, no need to kick push or being rude to your fellow jammers.

Don't scream requesting PJ songs, you know Eddie will play a few, If you're lucky enough he'll play some of this songs, Betterman, Soon Forget, Small Town, Porch, Sometimes, Parting ways, Indifference (only if Ben Harper is around), Lukin, I'm Open, Can't keep, Thumbing my way, Arc, Gone, Last Kiss and maybe a few more.

And please don't respond to this thread saying that you're going to do whatever the hell you want at the gig because is a free country, i know that already

I agree!! This is a Eddie Vedder show not a PJ show. If were lucky he will play a couple of PJ songs. Trust me, this will be a show to remember. I seen him in NYC last year on his solo tour 2nd row dead center. THANKS 10C.

Fact:
Assholes will yell out no matter what.
People will get drunk.


I hate it too but what can you do? At some point you'd figure PJ fans would grow up and I think for the most part we have. But there are those that ruin a great thing for others.

maybe you can send a thread to the public forum, they are the ones to preach to. I am sure 10c members know the deal.

I know it is a waste of time but maybe just maybe if i help to create a little of civil conscience even if it's only a .099% is worth the shot :oops:

You'd hope as much, but at the PJ shows, there's always plenty of it going on within the fan club seating areas.
Stupid drunks will be stupid drunks. I wish venues wouldn't sell alcohol. I don't give a shit how much profit it is for them. I'd rather pay $5 for a water or soda and enjoy my concert without the mayhem, than have the shitheads on either side of me make 10 trips back and forth to the concession stands.
Smoke a J, relax, enjoy the music, and shut the fuck up. But keep testosterone and alocohol out of my face. Thanks.

But why? Seriously? I'm well aware of the feeling a few drinks provide to an individual. I enjoy drinking at social occasions, and occasionally even at dinner. But why do people need to get sloshed at a concert?
And you, specifically? I see your avatar. You're a fan of inebriation in general, I take it. Why not just chill with a fatty? Why the need for Natty too?

No offense, but I don't see how sloppy drunk is any more offensive to your seat neighbors than a fog of unwanted smoke.

I wonder how many people are yelling idiotic things at a regular PJ show...I kinda expected that everyone was on the same wavelength, so to speak, but I couldnt believe how much I cringed at each EV solo show......people are retarded.

ALTHOUGH....I will say that Eddie shined through it all when he was in a good mood and the interactions made me realize just how clever, quick and humorous the man is. I forget the sequence, but in Santa Barbara, someone yelled out an answer in spanish and he totally incorporated it into the next song....sorry, that isnt the most amazing story with all that amazing detail I was able to capture, but my brain is not fully functioning - I just wrote a to the IRS big enough to treat everyone here to the entire EV tour. Hawaii and all; airfare and beach view bungalows......

I really hope the Baltimore show is not like the DC show... god those people wouldn't shut the fuck up

I think you're preaching to the choir by posting on this board. I'm guessing it's non 10c members for the most part be beligering drinks at the shows. It is a shame.

I guess Pearl Jam shows are so loud and big those people get drowned out from the all the fan noise and the band. But these shows are in intimate small theatre venues where they can be heard :(

Last October, I was at a Feist concert, at a venue similar to where I saw Vedder. What amazed me the most was the silence of the audience. It was absolutley amazing, the respect they were giving her. You could hear a picture being taken from the balcony (and I was 6 rows from the stage).

You know there is always some idiot who looks for attention and if you want Ed's attention, even for something negative, this is the place to get it by being obnoxious. They are looking for that one moment of Ed's time . Then he/she can go home and tell all their friends how cool they are that Ed spoke/cursed/insulted them.

I have a very loud screaming voice. I wonder if I turned around to told someone to shut the f@#! up in that voice if Ed would pay attention to me.

hopethatuchoke

It's a concert, not a dance recital or a night at the opera. It is a ROCK CONCERT with some acoustic numbers. There are no rules. Listen to a Feist CD and you will realize why there is silence. I saw her in 2007 and there were still occasional outbursts of noise/emotion because it was a CONCERT.

We know he doesn't care for the camera flashes, hence the banning of cameras. If Eddie had issues with the drunks, he would insist the venues not serve beer. If he wanted total silence during the show, he would specify that in some way. I hate assholes at concerts as much as the next person but you are complaining about the small gaps of time in-between songs.
