Just got back from Philly, so don't mind me if has already been discussed.

I've been to 2 shows this tour now where Ed has got pissy and showed it on stage. last night, throwing shit and even leaving the stage early. In Detroit, walking to the back of the stage with his face in his hands and half assed singing, I'm barely alive.

Does anyone know what the problem was at either one of these shows?. In Detroit, it looked like he was just a little trashed, and upset about his mic chord getting caught on stuff. Then last night, the problem looked to be in the crowd, as he did throw a towel at someone, just before he left the stage.

Anyone?

    We were on Stone's side for Detroit show and I did see Eddie covering his face with his hands - wasn't too happy about something. He even sat down at one point, as if to mumble or cursing at himself. For a second there, I was thinking to myself, "uh oh" and then went back in my mode 'cuz I didn't want to go into HIS mode. I'm a visualization person, so what I see really affects me.

    But I didn't pay too much attention, I was enjoying 'Alive' myself.

    Didn't even pay attention to the crowd, either - but Bobby, my husband, did notice. He thought it was really lame. He enjoyed the Cleveland's crowd much better. And Grand Rapid as well. :)

    Perhaps it was frustration of not getting much out of the crowd as he expected to - but as for me, I'd have to say I was really enjoying the show - whether he knows it or not. :)

    I was just in my little world and found out a lot more details afterwards.

    I wouldn't sweat it too much - just let him deal with it himself. He always manages to kick ass, doesn't he?

    I think hes just trying to add emotion to the show. Doing whatever he can to tap that extra passion.. sort of like when your trying to bench heavy waits and you have your friends calling you names to get riled up.. He was overall in a good mood at the Chicago shows, but I do remember him getting upset with the mic stand position and eventually slamming it down in rage.

    It's unkind of you to be upset or criticize him because he might have been feeling emotional!

    It's part of his job to pour them out and if he has some of his own to deal with, how can you be so harsh about it? :(

    Perhaps you mean 'scared alive' from Unemployable? That is a sad song. He wrote it with feeling. He sings it with feeling. These songs mean things, to him, to us. He's not just a robot repeating words. If you're singing about ideas, people in bad situations, things you really care about, maybe you might feel like covering your face with your hands. Pearl Jam's songs have made me do that at a show when the ideas in the song are overwhelming....

    Rumor has it he was born a HUMAN BEING and I've heard they tend to react to feelings in many different ways... But hey, that's just a rumor.

    *gasps*

    Oh my god... is it true?????

    I mean, he's GOD... I...I...

    :D

    I know...I don't give a rat's ass, either.

    But if he needed a hug or something...I'll give him one!

    But he's got plenty of people to hug him... soo... :)

    The man can handle himself - a whole lot better than us.

    If it were me and I see people posting things about me - I'd get personal and go nuts.

    Article after article after article... god.

    do you go to the show to listen to pearl jam play or do you go to analyze ED? if you had a good time, i think thats all that matters, right?

    Apparently Ed does need to chill sometimes..I sometimes wonder if the other PJ members dislike him some of the time... Mike on Single Video Theory said he gets scared of Ed on stage occasionally....Stone pretty much distanced himself from him in SPIN mag. last month and said they, while "friends", were not "palsy-walsy".

    Could be lead singer syndrome too...

    I remember thinking Dave Grohl was this extremely laid back cool individual too ,until I seen snap at his guitar player... He was not playing the right riff or not playing it to Dave's liking and Dave snapped at him and said "Play the right fucking riff..Jesus" and he glared at him...Poor fella look liked he had his heart ripped out..Felt kinda bad for him.
