I sure hope so!
I'd love to experience this!

I know I'll be jumping around!

Every time I watch the Live At The Garden DVD it gets me excited thinking about it- sounds like such a cool moment!

what do you think the structural resonance frequency for MSG is?

*paging Nikola Tesla*

It seems to be the exact same as DTE. I imagine if fully sustained for a few hours, there could be structural issues... but I'm assuming the venue was designed for not only the body movement of 20,000 people, but also to withstand earthquakes. That is a critical point in NYC that I'm sure they built to withstand almost anything. You have the arena... and right below the arena is The Theatre at MSG. Below that is the lobby level of AMTRAK. Below that is the train level of AMTRAK. Below that is the lobby level of LIRR. Below that is the train level for LIRR. From the 400's section all the way down to the LIRR trains we're talking at least 12 stories.

BTW - for those who didn't experience it in 2003 (which I was not there for the '03 show, but many other times) the venue... the whole internal structure bounces. It's not like other arenas where the scaffolding is affected by every tap of every foot. If you're just standing and observing, even if you are standing on the concrete floor, you will feel everything around you bounce together. It's quite disturbing.

In 2008 the bounce was barely barely there in comparison with what the venue can do, and has done.

thought it was a broom closet ...instead it was the balcony with the strokes jamming on stage

neilybabes86 · March 2010

Haha... I'm trying to think of which door that might be. It's been a while since I worked there. I have a funny story about Madonna at the Theatre at suddenly lots of people from the Expo hall upstairs start coming down the escalator just to see her staring back... When I have time, I'll type that one out.

I was there at MSG2 back in '03 and I remember when they started to play Corduroy everyone went crazy. We had Row 10 during that show it was AMAZING!!

kj1nyr · March 2010

I was behind the stage at MSG I in 2008, and on the floor for night II. Night two was definitely insane with shaking the building during Corduroy, and that just fed the fire to make us jump even more. Awesome night.

Ed: "we can feel you/it, we can feel you/it!!"

Unfortunately I was shut out for this year.

for everyone who's going, make us proud!

two years ago i went the see billy joel at SHEA stadium (i know) .....got a little heat stroke from working the day of..so mid way through the show i had to leave ... left my girlfriend and her family there i went out to the car to sit and drink water..... now if any of you guys EVER been to SHEA stadium you know the lay out ..so paint to picture for the others .. pictures the stadium in a giant parking lot ... easy and the fences are a good 1/4 mile aways from the stadium ... we parked up against the fences under a tree ....

I KID YOU NOT during one of the last few songs im standing next to the car and notice the ground shaking.KEEP IN MIND IM A GOOD 1/4 mile(1,500-2000 feet) away from the stadium.. i start looking around at the cab drivers and they all looked puzzled ..kinda freaked me out a little.. so then i take a cup of water and place it on the hood of the car .. and im just looking at the water go from one side of the cup (side facing the stadium) to the other as if your on a boat rocking back and forth .... once the song stopped the ground stopped shaking ... FUCKED UP ... i was at the pearl jam 03 msg show ..been to 100's of concerts at MSG ... but this was the creepiest thing i ever witnessed

end of story ..... never will forget that

now you all can give me shit for going to a billy joel concert .... 7 to be honest .. i drag my girlfriend to pearl jam ..she drags me to billy joel

I saw Billy Joel, 1980 or so, Glass Houses tour... MSG was shaking during "Only the Good Die Young"...

Blame the backup singers

, which I respectfully hope will not be returning...
(Ace's appearance and Mike singing were AWESOME and soo deserved some bounce!)

Bring back the Bounce NYC!

Newch91 · March 2010
