    We need more screaming on the bootlegs. Nothing better than loud, obnoxious screaming in between songs.

    PJ should hire the Portland Screamer to be at all their shows. She could be the hype person.

    All hail the Portland Screamer!

    Just watch one of those YouTube shorts of the band playing Hail Hail the other night and the crowd looked dead! I’m hoping there was some good old fashion manipulation going on by the one uploading the video as I would have lost my poop if I was there!

    I think there are too many boots where it feels like the crowd isn't mixed up/micked up good enough. Like Eddie handing over the singing and you can barely hear the crowd. Like they are playing in an empty room. 

    Mix the crowd up.

    LIKE KISS DOES*


    *But please don't add fake crowd noises

    Reading about all the bored crowds is a bummer.

    Especially when the worlds most famous arena is waiting for them, but they refuse to play enough shows for their most passionate fans. The band can be a real bummer

    Does this mean Eddie is gonna sing Olé again?

    Wait so now even with GA the crowds here in the states are lame 😂😂 I remember when the fans said to the band enough with the same seating process the band acknowledged and changed it to rows 1-2 and not sure if it was 9-10 to be given out randomly to fans so the band wouldn’t have look at the same folks all the time give the upfront crowd a boost of energy. Now it’s strictly GA and premium tickets getting the best seats the crowds are still lame 😂😂

    Say what you want about the people that are constantly up front but I will say from what I have seen most of them rock out pretty hard. 

    For a crowd not to be "lame" it takes the whole building to contribute. When you are up front you have no clue whats going on behind you.

    I like this because in my experience it's the same every single person who queued all night and got rail got into every single song and had the time of their life every song.

    I have the opposite of a complaint, but we don't have an "Official Thankful For" thread, so I'll post it here, and of course feel free to complain that I am :lol:

    I'm thankful that only one cover song is being played per show.  And it's cool that each city is getting a different song, so that adds to the uniqueness of each show.

    :lol:  Actually, I just reviewed the setlists, and saw that a cover song WAS repeated.  "Won't Back Down".

    So there's my complaint.  A cover song was repeated :disappointed:

    I don't know what people are talking about. I've been at all six shows, and the crowds have been anything but bored. I'm also a native New Yorker (and Knicks fan) who has seen them eight times at MSG and doesn't understand why people have convinced themselves that it's something automatically magical. It's actually a crowd with a disproportionate number of rich people and celebrities who are there to be seen.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    That's what you get for having 50 year olds in the first couple of GA lines. 
    In Europe, they'll be "moshed" out of the front rows.
    Kidding.

    But as for (half)serious complaints.

     - no Retrograde yet!? WTH

     - song collectors ! (Collectors, I hate these guys!)

    Funny. I didn't even realize this was going on. I suggested that they do that in one of the cover songs threads. That would be funny if they read it. I'm sure they read these posts all of the time... B) AND they didn't play Baba at my show, which made me reeeeally happy.

    Nothing since then. I suck.

    It’s more about how brutal it is getting tickets at the garden and the rest of the east, while reading indifferent comments here and  available tickets multiply like bunnies everywhere outside of the northeast

    One of the reasons those tickets are hard to get is that a lot of fans have sold themselves on the idea that shows in the northeastern cities are special, which creates extra demand by people who want to travel to them, when the reality is that special shows happen all over the place. Two of the best PJ shows I've ever seen were in Glendale, Arizona, of all places. The No Code show was in Moline, Illinois. There have been great MSG shows and ordinary ones. The worst show I ever saw was at Fenway. So, you never know.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.
