Good manners at eddie's gig

3days

Here are a few questions that I have...

Why do people scream innapropriate (and sometimes obscene) comments during these shows?

Why do people feel the need to scream anything repeatedly during these shows?

Why do people think that just because they bought a concert ticket, they have the right to infringe on everyone else's enjoyment of the show?

Why do people think that specific venue policies on performance interruption, and untoward behavior shouldn't apply to them.

I don't think I'm outta line here. Venues generally have rules that say performance interruption will not be tolerated. Venues generally have rules saying that disrespetful behavior towards the performer and/or the audience will not be tolerated. One last question...

Why is it so hard to enjoy the show in a respectful kinda way?

good try with this thread but dont count on it. i'm actually very surprised ed is doing this again considering all the yelling that went on during the first tour.

well, I hope this thread at least stops one person from yelling out. every bit helps

Look, just don't be that guy. But also don't be that other guy...you know, that guy. The guy who's trigger finger happy on pulling the "shut up" card or the "sshhhhhh" card. Can't stand that guy just as much. I for one am drinking a good amount and smoking a fat one before Liam's set. Not everyone who drinks a lot is an ass. Don't be either of those guys.

All of your lives must be pretty depressing if you need to get inebriated during an Eddie Vedder solo show...

I mean, are you serious? You gonna get smashed and scream the lyrics to an acoustic song? And then complain that Eddie didn't "rock your brains out"?

EV may be a part of PJ, but EV shows DO NOT EQUAL PJ shows.

And yes, I want you to shut the hell up. I don't want to hear your idiot comments while Eddie is trying to talk. And yes, I have the right to tell you to shut the hell up. I wish Eddie would come to your work, and while you're trying to think or do something, yell "COPY THOSE PAPERS!", "LUNCH BREAK IS OVER, BACK TO WORK", and, most importantly, "PLAY BLACCKKKKKK! BLACCKKKK!"

You have never met me or seen me or my behavior at a concert. What is your basis for this ignorant comment? Drop me a line and let me know what shows you are going to. I will do my best to annoy you as well

For the record I don't yell, I don't smoke and I rarely drink during but i'm not about to tell people who do those things to shut up. They paid just as much as I do.

Sometimes screaming ruins the songs.

Like when Eddie was doing Brain Damage by Pink Floyd during Chicago Night 2.... Some losers were screaming during it. And that's such a mellow and quiet song. It pissed Eddie off too because he threw his lyric sheet to the side and then went into Masters of War.

Get drunk all you want, but before you do, come to terms with the lack of attention you received as a child.


That's my ticket policy.



Bunch of fish sticks!

Mmkay, so the next time you go to the movies, I'll be sure to yell shit the whole movie, since I paid just as much as you did. And we'll see how much fun you have.

We are talking about a concert by a rock artist. Not a quiet movie where everyone is silent. Lets keep in mind, not everyone at these shows are 10 Club members. How are the general public supposed to know about these pretentious "rules"?

And again go back to my previous comment when I mentioned that if it weren't for people yelling things out, Ed would have never told the Ledbetter story at Newark. He didn't seem to mind then. Should we not cheer after songs either?

I hate this thread. It makes me ashamed and embarrassed to be a fan. If I sent this to a someone who is not a fan they would probably hate all of us.

THAt is the only time such shit annoys me. as i said, overall...i don't give a shit what anyone does......UNTIL it infringes on the show.....that we ALL paid to see/hear. and people may say is a primadonna, whatever...i don't give a shit.....but if it bugs him, and thus interferes/hinders his perfromance...possibly affected how the performance goes down.....THAT pisses me off. anything else that goes down at shows.....couldn't care less......

christ it's a PEARL JAM MESSAGE BOARD....what do you EXPECT here? seriously?
i will say one thing that made me 'embarassed' to be a fan, at least one particular night being in one particular audience. NYC night 2, some guy yelling out some very lewd comment to the female singer that evening, sorry can't remember her name. THAT was classless. and sure, it is no reflection on ME as an individual....but as a 'collective'...as a fan base...as a new yorker.....it was embarassing. what shit people say here......TYPE here....in discussing shows, attitudes, whatever.....we're all pj nutters, so i expect some off the wall shit. :P just sayin'.......



bottomline, crazed fan or not...if you are at a mellow/chill acoustic show.....sitting in your seats no less.....it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out it's a different atmosphere than a full-out rock concert, and that yea.....a little decorum/respect is cool. really tho, whatthefuckever eh?

The general public should know about these rules because I hope at some point in their lives they were taught manners. And how to respect someone else when they're talking. Yes, sometimes fun stories come out of what is shouted out (Eddie told some story about some guy or whatever during DC 2 after a comment), but when the poor guy is trying to talk and everyone is screaming "I love you!", "Play Alive!!", "YOU'RE THE MANNNNNNNN", etc etc, so much that is seems like Eddie is a monkey on stage and everyone is screaming at him to dance, it's a little out of hand.

I went to both DC shows last year, and it got to the point where everyone was yelling over top of each other and Eddie just stopped talking and strummed his guitar because it was too much. I'm not talking one call out every once and awhile; the whole damn show was people shouting stuff literally one after another between every song. Eddie said something a couple of times, and you can tell he was annoyed. That should NOT be allowed, it shouldn't be "ok" or accepted.

I'm just very opinionated. I like that I am free to agree and argue on these boards. Even more so now that we are paying to use them.

pretentious?
yes he is a rock star.but..
its an acoustic show. not a rock concert
what if eddie did a poetry reading..or held a seminar on awesomeness
ooo its a rock star..lets yell the whole time
your points suck..stop

hopethatuchoke

For the most part, the crowd at Newark was awesome. I haven't witnessed these displays of disrespect since I only have one show to go on so maybe I am not the one to be judging crowds. I do have a friend who went to DC and she didn't mention anything about the crowd ruining the show for her. I am in total agreement that people should be respectful when he is talking but when people here start to get mad at people for drinking or being loud during songs, that is when I get mad.

I hate that this turned into a huge argument. We obviously don't all agree on this issue.

LOL poetry reading! I bet people would still yell and get smashed to hear Ed read poetry.
