So sorry to hear about issues with the crowd, guys. Coming from my hometown it's pretty embarrassing. There's ways to dance/rock out without hurting people and at gigs like PJ there's no excuse for it. Seeing Iron Maiden in the O2 in a few weeks and you'd expect it there but that's not what this band is about.

The UK is roughly 50% dickheads at the moment so a bunch are bound to get into the safe spaces - sorry to hear about the issues, only advice is that which I give myself ‘get out to Europe as often as possible’.

Amazing gig, mostly amazing people, I was 2/3 back from the stage to sounds desk and the crowd, bar two very drunk Europeans, were amazing. Great energy and worth coming back for! Now the only issue if explaining to my boss where I've been as he never approved the holiday for me to go, in my defence he also didn't say no ... lol

We asked a few times for them to play Oceans and Breath, as we'd never heard them live somehow, and they did! Made my night! Great show to end the tour.

100% Correct. This country and its coming home mentally embarrass the life out of me.

Great set and band performance I must say faultless

100% agree. European shows are more sociable. That’s why I’m glad they don’t come to Scotland, we have a higher percentage of dickheads there.

I've read through some negative comments on the crowd here and I have to say that I agree with some of them.

I went to both Amsterdam shows and both London. The Dutch gigs were friendlier and safer. The two London shows had some absolute idiots in the crowd. The first one saw two big charges to the front, at the start of Animal and Even Flow, and it got a little bit stupid. People tried to start mosh pits at both and were not following Ed's advice to "look after each other", just bashing into people. I didn't like that and it was the first time I've seen it at English PJ shows.

It didn't spoil it for me, far from it, because I can cope with some people jumping around. But some people are not as comfortable with pits starting near them and will have to get out and go to the back. It's not fair on them or the band, given what's happened in the past.

I thought Ed was as diligent as ever and it was great when he asked everyone to take three steps back. He was also keeping a close eye on a situation down the front during Breath, which reminded me of a classic performance of that song.

I would like things to go back to the front being reserved and barriered off for 10c members, as none of the people causing the issues were wearing the wristbands last night, from what I saw. They appeared to be quite drunk, or maybe something else, in the group in front of us and were not giving much consideration to people around them. It's not cool.

Great show though and I am already looking forward to next time!

My view . It started with security checks on the way in. The line wasn't maintained after the body metal detector. So people who queued all day were somehow behind people that queue a short while. So then order all mixed.
Then whilst waiting the 2hrs in position lots of drunk and angry people getting into space that isn t there.
Biggest problem .
Such small amount of 10c G.A made all standard G.A push and barge everyone put and violent to women and smaller men. Disgusting behavior no matter what country or language. All.10c around me very upset and some hurt . Ribs. Neck . Back. We all tried to help our fellow friends and members but it was not possible with so many grown men acting like cavemen . Hurting people to push them out of the way. I'm 6 feet and 16 stone. I could not gold my daughter and partner . Or even myself . Not because it's a rock concert but because many assholes can t be kind or even human
Fuck them ruined lots of people s gig they waited a long time to go and queue and be excited to get basically battered .

lastexitlondon · July 2018

I'm glad I can't see social media. My partner and daughters are not so small . Many smaller around us . And even men my size . My daughter is still so upset and in pain . And most of all scared she is 17 not a child. Before anyone says Dont take kids
She is a woman .

Sorry to hear all this, Rob..!
Did you fight for your spots or move out the way?
Hope you were somehow able to enjoy the show anyway.. Setlist sure looks enjoyable

lastexitlondon · July 2018

I would only go to amsterdam and Scandinavia shows if I ever go again. Nice respectful people.

Bella · July 2018

The worst experiences I’ve had in GA are Leeds and Manchester, last night was ok where we were but think we were lucky by the sounds of it. Give me Euro shows every day of the week.

It was an amazing show and highlighted just how bad Ed was at London 1. Leagues apart.

Highlight was RVM, the energy on stage and in the crowd, especially with moving the crowd back, was magical.

Hey Rob. I hope she and you are going to be okay. In my younger days I was in a couple of rough crowds and I know how scary that feels And I'm almost 6feet tall too. It sounds bad if Eddie stopped and asked everyone to step back. Probably brought up bad memories for him and the band. Sounds like the pit does need to be divided and a no asshole safe zone made.

We had no chance to fight @pdalowsky and his friends also @WhyNotSweden dis everything to help but the girls were crushed and we all got pulled after 4 songs. Long story but the local security treated me like an animal separated me from my daughter and partner. She was sobbing shouting that s my dad. And they would not let me get to her
(This is after being pulled) as taking us to medical area they were wrestling me to the ground in front of all my friends who were rail so they saw all this with their eyes. In the medical area they hold me down when I want to help my distraught daughter and my partner and daughter . Utterly disgusting. I am lucky. My friends ewa and Keith were with Rob from pj radio
He came to the medical area and got them to let me see my family. And I spoke before to Matt the crew manager at precious shows
He came and helped us get a view for a few songs then moved us all the way to the back of the sound desk
To tell you the truth they were great with our daughters gave them a set list and a drumstick . Me..... I walked off and cried a little stood alone and decided this is not for me anymore. I could have punched these people and behaved like them...but those who know me. I'm not that man. I'm a soft. Gentle and kind. Love to you who helped and saw the pain in our faces. I knew it was all wrong how I was pulled around by security . All my friends saw.

PeArLgOoNeR · July 2018

That sounds utterly fucked up

I don't know how I would've handled myself in a situation like that..

lastexitlondon · July 2018

I won't go on moaning. I just want people to be safe and ultimately not go queue. Pay hundreds for a family day out at the best show in the world. To get that . I looked at Paul as we sang push me and I will resist. Next thing all gone.over.
Eds face showed his concern at our faces in pain.yes there needs to be a point where people cannot just hammer people and shove smaller people out of the way to better there own experience .I am very upset and yes angry . Angry for the scares my daughter and step daughter will have now. Already they both Don t want to go to a show again. I feel responsibility and guilt for that. Thanks for listening my dear friends .goodbye rob

In Barcelona i had 3 guys next to me running a social media marathon of pics, facetime, videos, and selfies. I think there are knobs everywhere but the UK does seem to employ a higher number than most recently.

I was less annoyed in GA in london but i was about 10 rows back on mikes side. Few idiots turning up late and pushing through but as i'm 6'4" i did my best gandalf and "you shall not pass" by not giving an inch to them.

Sorry to those who either had their nights ruined or had a bad time. Personally for me that was one of my favourite times of seeing them. Great set, ticked off a few never heards and the band were on fire.

Only way to solve this is a seperate front pit for 10c GA. They do it in the US with seats behind but keep the whole floor as GA and just give us our own space as we all deserve it.
