do think the band (ed mainly) gets annoyed when ...

DiRtyFranK38

at a show people right in the front are blatantly recording? or anywhere for that matter. i mean it never seems like they do, and it is permitted on the site. but i've always wondered ..

restlesssoul

i dont think so....didnt he at one euro 2000 show see a guy recording and he grabbed his device and brought it on stage to get better sound for the guy? something like that.

josevolution

i don't know about that what i do know is that he got pissed off when people up front were looking up at the video screen for the 1st JONES BEACH show 00 ,the very next night it was a blank screen ....

Local Crew

not sure about that one, but I believe in one of the Carolina shows- maybe Columbia in 2000, one guy was struggling to tape and put his arm around his girl, so Ed took the recorder from him and put it on the stage and joked that they weren't going to give it back to him...or was he not joking?

that is the one im thinking of, i think....did he say something about dancing. i dunno.


anyways, no, i dont think they care. why would they?

I think the people who take photographs and write down the set lists are annoying. I mean they are posted by this site and photos are put out to.
I mean get into the show. A reason why I own not 1 poster or anything is I would lose it during the show. The calculated boring people annoy the band in my opinion. I towed the line in the front row 2000 2003 and 2005

When I skipped the last 2 tours the policy changed as it should have been. The front rows sucking annoys them.

Although i have a photo of me holding up eddie for state college that I love that a friend of mine took from row 3. So i guess i am a hypocrite.

You got it! I'm almost certain it was a NC or SC show

I think anything that distracts you from being present in what's happening might be annoying. (Or, maybe not if they don't notice you?)

Think of trying to talk to someone who is constantly looking elsewhere, moving furniture, getting distracted...there's not much connection is there?

I think it might be best to just use a little common sense. The band members are people standing in front of you, they are trying to get your attention, don't treat the men on stage like a TV screen.

On a different note I think EV gets annoyed a little when girls flash while SG is grinning like the cat who ate the canary in the same situation.

Get_Right

not when they see an old school tape recorder or minidisk
but yes when its 5000 cell phones up in the air

ovechkin8

ed was a taper....

mole1985

Its probably more to do with they are concentrating more on recording ect that they are missing the show. You're kinda missing the concert by trying to keep a record of it if you know what i mean.

andrew the legend

this isnt 1986 you can just get the shows professionaly recorded.

Notice the top 2 threadsright now on here are about the camera policy at MSG and posters.

I dont pretend to ever get you guys. But I respect you.

My agenda is drink 12 beers go in rock out leave. if am lucky i have another show to goto if not then its over and i am sad.

Theresnoleavinghere

If ed is annoyed with taping then I could very well lose all respect for this band.

I had to cuz I was sitting on the side. And the screen was right there. And I couldn't see the stage very well. I could see Stone okay. But middle and to the left was a struggle.

I don't think they care. Unless that's the only reason you're there I guess.

you know what's a terrible movie? commando. god awful.

My biggest problem when at a GA show is taking to many picture of the band when I'm on the front rail in front of the stage. I noticed I took a shit load at Ween last June and noticed Deaner getting pissed so I just shut my camera off and started partying my ass off having the best time ever. He gave me a head nod at the end of the show when I held up my camera and mouthed "sorry" to him. I also met Geaner before the show, best concert I have ever been too. Ween shows are close to being the best live act around.

ps-- if im in the front row and i see you doing the listed above i will smash whatever equipment you have, thank you and enjoy the show

I've got a recording from when Ed took a tape recorder from someone in the front row and started talking into it during a Mike solo at the end of YL. I don't know what show it's from. It sounds like he says Detroit after he gives back the recorder (it's pre 2000 for sure).

Here's the quote:

"hi. this is uh Eddie Vedder. it's the end of this show and uh... he was front row so I hope it turned out good. anyways uh, this snail comes up... uh... I was going to tell a joke about a snail but I'm just going to go. Michael's finishing up here, there's no time for a joke. Whoever hears this uh... have a good life. I'm tryin.

I've always wanted to know how the joke ends!

Ed does not care much for all the people taking youtube videos with there digital cameras. He told me. Seriously.

One day this man walks out of his house to go to work. He sees this snail on his porch. So he picks it up and chucks it over his roof, into the back yard. Snail bounces off a rock, cracks its shell all to shit, and lands in the grass. Snail lies there dying. But it doesn't die. It eats some grass. Slowly heals. Grows a new shell. And after a while it can crawl again. One day the snail up and heads back to the front of the house. Finally, after a year, the little guy crawls back on the porch.

Right then, the man walks out to go to work and sees this snail again. So he says to it, 'What the fuck's your problem?'

(It's the only joke I've ever heard about a snail.)

Yes, it's very hard to enjoy the show and record in one moment, so... that's why I didn't do it long time:)
And I think They got used

Ok maybe this doesnt belong in here but......I wanted to start a thread THANKING the people that tape and record shows. Without them, NONE of us would be able to watch bootleg dvds and youtube footage of our favorite shows! Its alot of work to just texxxt the setlist to someone so i imagine it being WAY more work to film! HOWEVER, I would like to also ask/comment/suggest that whoever is doing this "filming".......can you PLEASE zoom out and get The Master in there???!!!! Imean, Ed is the singer yes. But, what about all the magic that happens between The Masters fingers and the guitar during PORCH or ALIVE or BREATH or IMMORTALITY!!!!!! We need to see this! And what about all the Jeff jumps that are not caught on camera????? My friend Yeild2pearljam is thee ultimate jeff fan and i know she KNOWS all the jumps but its nice to see them. Seriously, there is something to be said about SEEING The Master just loving life while on stage. Like the super exxxtra crazy licks he threw down on black in 2006. I am not AT ALL complaining. I give major snaps to these great people that have the skill to tape a show. Just a small request to PLEASE ZOOM OUT SO WE CAN SEE THE FULL BAND!!!!!!!!!! It is also a great feeling to see yourself in the crowd at the hawaii show......thank you!
