Somehow pearl jam attracts douchbag nickelback/creed fans or something. Last night at United Palace Theater, a literal rock cathedral, a place where Eddie Vedder hoped to put on a show, 1 part campfire sing along, 1 part protest march, clearly a special show...but of course out come the the concert wreckers. Screaming "eddie," or the guy that thinks its hilarious to scream "doooh ittt," or how bout the a-hole who insists on screaming out requests as though this wasn't an $80 ticket to see eddie vedder, but instead Bob n Norm at the Back Fence. <BR/><BR/>Mr. Vedder eventually quited them down by telling the crowds that all he hears when people shout at the stage is a grumbled take on "im an idiot."<BR/><BR/>Highlights at the show:<BR/>Cat stevens: Trouble on electric guitar<BR/>Bob Dylan: Girl from the North Country (apparently the first time he's played it live- he had a lyric sheet to read from)<BR/>Acoustic "Porch" <BR/>Lennon/McCartney "hide your love away"<BR/>Some interesting vocal looping (think a mix between beatles "beacuase" and a Tibetan Monk's chant. <BR/><BR/>Eddie was relaxed, comfortable enough to demonstrate his semi-capable harmonica/ukulele/mandolin playing, and comfortable enough with what he was doing, and who he was playing for that he didn't seem to mind the few times he had to start and stop and start again because of some forgotten lyrics. <BR/><BR/>He put on an entertaining show busting out softer, sometimes more colorful stripped down versions for 2 full hours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673303836218802470.post-78443040104527490572008-08-05T13:42:00.000-04:002008-08-05T13:42:00.000-04:00Wow, I could not agree more! For the prices we ha...Wow, I could not agree more! For the prices we have to pay to see a show (especially for good seats) I think every person should be INTERVIEWED as they enter the venue. If they can't pass the test (for example, at Eddie Vedder's concert they should be able to name ten songs he did WITHOUT Pearl Jam" they are not allowed in. Anyone who sings along loud enough for anyone near them to hear should be jolted with a small electric current until they get the point to shut up. No banners allowed. No one anywhere NEAR the front unless they are a bona fide fan of the artist not some attention getter that got the tickets for free and couldn't give a shit about the music.<BR/><BR/>I love the audience at Bruce shows, they usually are not idiots.Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673303836218802470.post-57304348181440250452008-08-05T10:12:00.000-04:002008-08-05T10:12:00.000-04:00I had no idea that all this time you fans didnt ap...I had no idea that all this time you fans didnt appreciate my "connection with the performer." How else will Neil Young know that I know his other songs unless I yell out the names of them repeatedly? How else can I prove to Neil Young that I am a better fan than everyone else unless I call out the names of songs that I think he is going to play based on where he puts the capo on the guitar?..so what if im wrong four out of five times. How else will Neil Young know that he should have recorded an awkward three part harmony on "Old Man" unless I sing it for him? <BR/><BR/>-seat 124 <BR/>(you may remember me as the woman who got tossed from United Palace Theater)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673303836218802470.post-20880878309553548832008-08-04T21:19:00.000-04:002008-08-04T21:19:00.000-04:00GREAT post.
