    Not worth the risk TBH. It was cool to see him climb down the balcony Santa Barbara 2008 at the Arlington Theatre to play piano though.

    The risk of injury or death is too great for someone in his 50's. Wouldn't want to witness that for anything.

    If he fell no one would catch him because they would all be filming it with their damn phone.

    not the rafters, but I always like when he climbs like 20 feet up the side metal thing (i have no idea what it's called, but here's an example)

    Scaffolding! I'd definitely cheer him on if he tried, but I do not need to see it. Nor would I endorse him trying lol

    yeah that's the word! He's done it pretty recently, it's always cool to see him do it.

    It was cool to see him do it in old clips but it's very dangerous and he wouldn't be up to it these days as he's getting old.

    Ugh, absolutely not. Those days are done. Not a fan of that era at all anyway. They're better live now than they've ever been, he can just keep on doing what he's doing.

    Plus I think some people would sue because they got hurt catching him. Easy money.

    No interest. Might have been cool 24 years ago but not now. I spend more time thinking about golf these days and less (no) time trying to play king of the mountain or climbing trees.

    You forgot David Lee Roth swinging his mic and smacking himself in the nose. Good stuff.

    I think it's something a 20ish year old person thinks is a good idea. The older you get, the larger ones sense of mortality. I can't see a 50 year old doing that.. lol.

    Agreed...I think the most we will get from him is swinging from the lights that dangle above the stage

    He did that shit back then because he would have gone crazy playing the same 8 songs every fucking show, now they have like 150 different songs they can play, now they are a real band who are much better musicians, it's all about the music man
