I wonder if the music is just an annoying distraction for some of the people at this point.
I have no interest in being up close at any of their shows any more because after doing it once, and basically not hearing the band at all, i have little interest in repeating that particular experience. Not that i had anybody particularly annoying around me but still if i'm going to a show once every couple of years or so i want to at least be able to hear the band.

this is part of why i'll probably never attend a PJ show again. crowd participation gone too far.

Out of anyone you should know how to handle a rowdy crowd.

Spoiler: show

In Worcester this year I had this bizarre guy sitting in front of me that actually sat down and started shaking during corduroy. He was doing the fake pissed off thing that football players do before a game. WTF is that? It's a pearl jam show, not war.

yep

I was out at lunch today and this gal saw me wearing my tour shirt and we started talking. Turns out, she was on the floor and in the middle of all that crap.
What she told me was there were two women... a young one and an older one. The older one was pushing people away to get the younger one to the railling. The young one was apparently going to pass out and needed to get out of the pit. When they got to the front so the security guards in the photographers pit could reach her and get her out... the 2 women backed up, out of the reach of the guards. The younger one said she was fine now and didn't need to get out. She was pretending to be in distress in order to get through the crowd.
That is when people started getting pissed. The guards could not reach them to pull them over the fence because they had backed up, out of their reach. People were trying to shove them back to where they came from and the 2 put up a fight.
That is why pearl jam security had to go around to ge them out.

Californians are dicks.
