For all of you die hard bootleg CD buyers. You ever notice on any Chicago , Wisconsin CD, and Champaign, IL CD. Especially the newer CDs. That their is a guy who has the loudest whistle. I mean I hear this guy on every disk. Even more the Chicago Disk’s. But, he is the loudest on the Champaign disk.

So mad whistler reveal yourself!!!!!

    I know exactly what you are talking about. I was at the Champaign '03 and both Chicago '06 shows. When I started hearing that whistler again on my '06 bootlegs it got old really fast. And it isn't a normal whistle, it's shrill and it's like a series of short bird calls over and over. Way to go whistling guy, you have left your mark on the world. "Guy who whistles at pearl jam shows", great job. Now knock it off.

    No-no. This guy’s whistle will curdle your milk. It is loud and will make you not be able to make babies. Don't believe me, put on some Chicago boots.

    I never noticed this until somebody was bitching about it around a year ago. Now I notice it every time. and it is annoying. There are even times when he'll ruin a quieter part of a song. No example immediately jumps to mind, but maybe someone else will. If I ever sit next to that guy at a show...

    this has been discussed in multiple threads. fucker's even got a name:

    The Whistling Dickhead

    he should be taken out in the street and shot in the head like a rabid dog
    Of course I value your opinion. It's what makes you wrong and me right.
