Found this clip on Youtube. Band starts Lukin and mid-song Ed tells some guy to "get your finger outta that woman's face". Was anyone there who can clarify happed happened? Looks like security drags the guy out. Ed tells the woman "nice job" for defending herself and goes right back to the song. Amazing exchange!

    Here's basically the quick rough story:

    From my understanding, a woman was clearly not in good shape and fainted during the show. A couple nearby was yelling to get security's attention to pull her out, and a drunk was giving them shit for causing commotion (stupid). In the middle of Lukin Ed noticed the drunk guy giving the woman (in the couple) a hard time and singled him out, calling for him to get kicked out. This allowed for security to run in and get the woman who had passed out, and then later booted the drunk guy.

    Thank you for explaining. I was curious because I thought perhaps a physical altercation might have happened. Always seems like it's the "drunk guy" who ruins everyone's time. Sounds like EV just taking care of business. Thanks again.
