    I was pretty close and cannot say for sure. I am guessing there were monitor/gear issues?

    I did notice it too being up real close -- it was tech issues. but he wasn't pissed the whole night i didn't think -- the band had tremendous energy and this only was a portion of the show.

    i haven't seen anything else mentioned in this thread about the subject, so,...

    the pipes visible on stage were blowing cold air in Ed's direction to help him keep cool, there were ducts positioned on either side of Ed's on-stage monitors. during previous shows (MSG shows onward) we've seen Ed complain to Rick (his tech) about the pipes not being positioned to Ed's satisfaction and Rick has done his best to ensure they're angled just right to blow cold air right at Ed, but it clearly hasn't always worked out that way.

    last night, however, it seemed not enough cold air was being blown in Ed's direction, which made it difficult for Ed to keep cool. in addition to Ed's frustration with the lack of cold air, on 2-3 occasions during last night's set Ed turned towards Rick to inform him about the issue but Rick's attention was elsewhere as he was tuning Ed's guitars everytime Ed turned to him (Stone's tech had to get Rick's attention each time to let him know Ed needed his assistance). needless to say, Ed was losing his patience and feeling frustrated.



    i'm not sure where you were sitting, perhaps the angle was off; however, when Ed left the stage during the McCready Even Flow solo, he walked towards Rick and THREW the bottle of wine right at the backdrop, at which point the bottle did indeed SHATTER on impact. the moment the bottle shattered, we could see the wine just spill everywhere and fragments of glass fly everywhere. none of the crew were prepared for it, and you could see some fear in their facial expressions - matter of fact, Jill was standing side-stage next to Kerrie and even she had a nervous look on her face, although she and Ed didn't communicate while he was standing side-stage after once again complaining to Rick.

    after Ed watched Mike's solo from side-stage, he proceeded to take a new bottle of wine and then headed straight to Matt. Ed spent a minute or two sitting on the back of Matt's drum-riser where a cooling fan is positioned, and he had a smoke and likely enjoyed the comfort of the fan before returning to the front of the stage to wrap up the song.

    I think that these short tours are short on some of the fine tuning that you might have on a typical tour. You can bet Rick will be keeping his eyes glued to Ed tonight.

    Geez Ed...Kanye much? I guess we're all surmising about what really happened, but that certainly sounds a litte Diva-ish. That said, there are a host of medical reasons why he might need the cool air coming in, but to throw a bottle? Not sure I can defend that.

    I find it a bit odd that some of you guys are on a first name basis with the stage tech.

    25 thousand people clapping at you chanting your name can cause this type of behavior!

    The Narcissistic defense is addicted to power and control, without which he feels exposed to his real feelings of inferiority, inadequacy and worthlessness.
