    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

    At 432.5 Hz eh!? Haha!!

    I would just be worried about him if he tried that. I can barely believe he got away with some of that stuff without serious injury or death in his 20s.

    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)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZetSwzYk6ws

    That was Berlin 2 years ago. He was a solid 20-25 feet off the ground.
    Edit: In the video he looks just above Jeff's head but it was a lot higher.

    Pretty sure they were a real band back then.

    Saw Ed climb the scaffolding at the Berlin '14 show--and that's with a 150 song catalog to choose from!--so I guess it isn't always about the music. Sometimes a person just wants to climb some scaffolding.

    While I'm not saying that I necessarily want to see him climb shit again, I have to say that climb in Berlin was not exactly taxing, and not really putting him at risk. As a climber, it's kind of annoying to hear people say that Ed's too old to climb things.

    I don't think he's too old to climb things. I'm saying he shouldn't be doing shit like this (and probably never should have, even when he was younger, stronger, and lighter):

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

    Yes he should keep his mind on the music and only climb if the spirit moves him then he will be safe...
    I'm good re-playing his very inspired dive into the pit during the first Pink Pop concert....it was the coolest thing ever :) I play it whenever I need to leap into the unknown! Thanks for your amazing spirit and inspiration always EV

    Agreed.
    And plus you know it's a great concert when Jeff gets into hitting the dangling globes.
