We're starting the "Yeahs!" in Alive WAY too early

Ledbetterman10 · June 2006

at the 3 shows i've been to this tour, i noticed that everyone starts the "YEAH" chant during the first Alive solo anymore and continue it threw the breakdown (yeah na-huh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah). Then when the second solo (the real solo) starts, the "yeahs" don't last long cause everyone is yeahed out. Anyone notice this? minor complaint, but still, i perfered Alive on the Riot Act tour when the "Yeahs" started during the second solo. it throws off my head banging during the break down!

yeah yeah....that whole thing was a lot cooler when it first started....cool it with the yeahs...wait until the appropriate solo.

yay
I'm not the only one that notices these things

OTOTO · June 2006

Couldn't agree more. In the 3 shows I have hit this tour I have noticed that too. We're not letting Mike get the full solo in. In years past it just kinda started at the end, but now it's as if people are waiting to do it, and so they start it right away. Glad others notice this stuff.

one of my favorite moments from the show at the wachovia last year was the unison fist in the air "yeah!" part during Alive. After being at the 2 camden shows where alive was played twice, i have to agree, its starting too early and then just crapping out. like you said, sort of a small thing, but when it goes off right, its cool to seeing everyone moving and chanting as one.

PJ shows are going to be transformed into a coreography stuff.

"now!!" the YEAHS!, "now!!" the jump, .....

DeLukin · June 2006

So you're saying the crowds have been too overzealous? But I thought they were lame? I'm so confused...

a5pj · June 2006

they did start right away but from watching ed he didnt seem to mind and was jamming out to the early yeahs, you do miss some of mikes solo with everyone being so loud, plz ppl be quiet and let the man play, jk... the show last night was amazing!

Personally, I don't like it when the crowd yells: "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" I like the guy and everything but shouldn't people be chanting:

"MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE!"
"STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!"
"JEFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!"

or

"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATT!"

instead of

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"

?

Anyway ,that's what I think.

the "yeahs!" have gone overboard since MSG2 in 2003, when Ed really seemed to take notice of it.........It seems like since that show, it's something that everyone waits for during the song.

Funny how GhostChile mentions the choreography of the shows. I got tix for a couple friends that I work with who are casual PJ fans, but huge fans of live music, and felt that they needed to see PJ to be complete (that, and listening to me go crazy about them for the past six years I've worked with them)

Anyway, they went to Boston 2, which was great for them, because there were a lot of singalongs, and it was a good setlist for them (they have every album, and new mostly everything)

I asked them what they thought, and they were blown away, and my friend thought it was so cool how the crowd was in such unison (sp?) for every song, and they really enjoyed the interaction (the "arms wide open" for GTF, the "scream HELLO" during Small Town, the butterflies and YEAH during Even Flow, the "yeahs" during Alive, the doo doo doo's during Black, and the loud singing during Indifference)

I could go on on, but this is just part of what makes going to a PJ show so special, and if you haven't been witness to it, you aren't going to get it, even with the boots.

lol. I took my 13 yr old to Cleveland and gave her "lessons" in the car on the way up!

(when to raise her hands, etc.)

jlew24asu · June 2006

i agree.

outontheporch · June 2006

lol good observation. Yeah we're suposed to wait until partway into Mike's solo after the breakdown. Usually we have to wait for Ed to start pumping his fists or climbing rafters or something.

Unevenflow · June 2006

Maybe one of you could volunteer to hold up a sign when it is time!

Tom Berenger · June 2006

I'm so glad many others have noticed this. Ed will not join in with us if we keep engaging in premature "yeahs". BTW, if you want to hear a perfect chorus of yeahs, perfectly timed, with Ed joining in, listen to the '03 Champaign show. Gold, I tell ya!
