    I think it's magnificent, I hope Eddie keeps at it. He will get a great response across Europe, and I call bullshit on the op's "lost the crowd" comment. I have great respect for every single American speaking out against Nazi rule in your country, I just hope it's not too late for you to drag your country out of the cesspit.

    Lost the crowd for about a half hour in Padova after EV's latest outburst although got it back to complete an outstanding show.

    It needs to stop, it's boring & they need to show some respect to those who don't share their views.

    Anyway, onwards to Rome we go.....
    I don't think they should bow down to people who don't share their views, if those views mean in any way supporting a racist, bigoted, mindblowingly self-centered wanna-be-fascist. 

    They should do exacltly what they want.

    And - I think you're view is biased - here in Europe I've only seen people being riled up by Eddie. Not "being lost".

    This is definitely bullshit. I was at the show and they certainly didn’t lose the crowd. Obviously OP not only wasn’t at the show but also doesn’t understand the Italian crowd who fundamentally would be against someone like Donny. 
    I was at the show & the place went flat in my opinion only for them to take a break for 5mins and then come out and bring the crowd back. That's just my opinion though.

    Oh and being a veteran of Italian shows I think I'm in a good position to have an opinion on the crowd. An opinion that obviously varys from yours but let's try and be adult about it, yeah?
    There’s nothing adult about someone who supports Trump. He acts like a child as do his followers. So no!!

    Yeah I’d prefer a little less political talk   Instead of attacking why not try and find some common ground.  It might be um productive.  Rather than more walls. 


    Look by by no means am I looking to get into a political debate.   I’ve loved this band and it’s members since I was 12 I’m 38 today. Weather I agree or disagree with thier personal. views it won’t affect how I view them.   I agree some respect for the other side should be shown. 
    Completely agree. Less "political" talk and more music during shows. Originally from Seattle, I've been a Mookie fan from the beginning. Check my concert resume... And rarely do I comment online. I have better things to do in life. But personally, I feel this "political" diatribe during shows gets old. And I'm not looking to debate who's right, who's wrong, dem or rep. Trumps an idiot, so is Obama, Bush and Clinton. Most elected politicians are full of crap!! The political system (and media) is corroded with deception. But when I go to a concert, I prefer hearing the music and not political jargon. I don't need to be "instructed" who's right and wrong right after Dirty Frank and before Lukin. Everyone has a right to voice THEIR opinion on "world" issues (war, immigration, homelessness, finance, human rights, crime, guns, taxes, religion, nature, sex, sports, ect, ect, ect..) But maybe your opinion is different than the person standing next to you?  So... my point is I prefer to attend (and pay for) concerts to enjoy the music and atmosphere. If I wanted to hear about politicians, how screwed up mankind is and all the other crap that's wrong in this world, I'll just turn on the TV. I've already paid the DirecTV bill ..  :)                   
    Thank you Mike!!!

    People both-siding Trump and people supporting someone like Trump on the Pearl Jam message board.

    What is happening right now isn't politics, it is our world (not just America) racing towards fascism and destruction of liberty. If you think this is politics as usual or in any way funny, you are mistaken and in for a rude awakening. It is the responsibility of all of us, especially those with a mic to speak as loudly as possible against this threat. 

    Benmont Tench III: "Funny how quickly speaking up  brings out the “shut up and play” crowd. Better ditch yr Dylan, Stones, Beatles, Clash, Springsteen, Pearl Jam, REM, Public Enemy, James Brown, Bonnie Raitt, hell ya might as well throw away all yr records, cause none of em just “shut up & played”."

    To hell with someone who doesn't respect anyone else.  To hell with him.  
    I think anyone that imagined this tour happening without a lot of talk about this crazy president was really lost in the clouds.  This is what Pearl Jam has done forever.

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Fuck this apathetic, ignorant noise. This is not 'politics as usual.' This is a slow regression from the world you and I know, the one that hasn't experienced a population-adjusting conflict in over half a century.

    Trump advocates depriving undocumented immigrants of due-process rights

    Or maybe it was...During the so called “listening session” with victims of school shootings when he was talking about arming teachers, he said “I think it could very well solve your problem.” Notice that he referred to the shooting of innocent children as “your” problem. 

    Is THAT one of the "views" you agree with?

    Sadder and Stupider.

    Trump Spent One-Third of His First Year in Office Golfing and Hiding Out at His Own Private Clubs

    The saddest and the stupidest.

    "Snowflakes" dont want to hear it, please retreat to your safe space at a kid rock concert.  I'm sure there are tickets available.  2 minutes of hearing a viewpoint other than your own wont harm you

    I never minded the banter from Ed, just don't ramble on and on and on like sometimes he does.  (case in point, msg 1 98 when they brought out the 3000 boxes representing the whitewater investigation...ugh).
    Quickly make your point and then look at Mike to start the next song.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......
