DEGENERATE FUK
This place is dead
"THERE ARE NO CLIQUES, ONLY THOSE WHO DON'T JOIN THE FUN" - Empty circa 2015
"Kfsbho&$thncds" - F Me In the Brain - circa 2015
It reminds me of some of Bruce's shows in the 70's and 80's when he took very similar stands.

But if you can't even remember why the milton keynes video is in a thread about controversial PJ performances you don't really remember much do you?
This is like being pissed if Ed totally bashed fox news or the gop.
has nothing to do with something being typical
I was not a fan at the time this happened, but have seen a snippet of the t-shirt burning on an old MTV segment off a friend's tape... Courtesy the 5 Horizons/Two Feet Thick Concert Chronology...
11/07/93 - Mesa Amphitheater: Mesa, AZ
attendance: 5,000
support act: Mohican singer-songwriter, Bill Miller and Butthole Surfers
notes: Ed tells the crowd that after visiting the mountain with some of the Native Americans who held the land sacred, the band had decided to donate ALL of the proceeds from the shows to benefit their cause.
Before 'Leash,' the audience tosses a University of Arizona sweatshirt onstage which Ed drapes over a mic stand and burns, being displeased with the university because they were trying to develop an otherwise pristine piece of land holding significant historical worth to the Apaches.
About Mount Graham: Mount Graham is the most sacred mountain to the traditional San Carlos Apache people and home to many plants and animals that don't exist elsewhere. The Mount Graham Coalition is an international group (associated with Earth First!) working to protect the mountain from development of an astronomical complex of observatories that was then under construction by the University of Arizona. The University and the Vatican want to put an observatory on Mt. Graham for the purpose of searching for alien life. The mountain is sacred to the tribe(s) in the area. When the rest of the world was expecting Pearl Jam to focus on a world tour in support of Vs., the band took time out to play two benefit shows for this cause. Late, they wrote a letter to President Clinton expressing their support for the Coalition.
^^ also, I saw that in the clip about "not afraid to get booed" from PJ20, but found no vids
He later apologized in the show for the statement, but again, not really too bright or cool of a statement to make by any account.
