Do you read the newspapers at all, Tom?
How are they going to enforce that phone ban?
big feens, with shticks.
Enjoy the gig Tom
The guy in Manchester had a huge suitcase, and they are stopping clutches that fit lipstick, keys and large tampons. What is the point of freedom of you can’t bring a naggin to ediie bedder?
Tom, don’t be that guy.
Carry your lipstick in your pocket Tom.
Same security stuff at the 3 Arena, and for Forbidden Fruit too. That’ll make queuing fun.
The performance etiquette policy is from Eddie himself. It’s on the Pearl Jam website.
I’d love to be going.
Meanwhile, back before phones could record much and in the realms of performance etiquette policies…

there’s also another phenomenon now I’ve seen at some live gigs and festivals I call “ewww, please don’t invade my personal space-er” whereby the precious adjacent attendee thinks they are at the cinema/Abbey/NCH in booked seats making it real clear its not ok for you to sing along/lepp about/generally engage with the event they are surrounded by…and I’m talking 100yards from the stage here…typically also watch the gig via their iphones
just very sad + grrrrr!
All perfectly reasonable requests….
It caused absolutely no problem at slane, so it wont effect a gig of that size.
Yep, they had the same security check at Slane and wasn’t any issues whatsoever
It’s always been that way in the Odyssey in Belfast.
And at all museums in Washington.
Etc.
It wasn’t like that for * cough * Take That
No.
YOU’RE a sap.
I was a Boyzone fan in my time.
And perhaps….did you buy a big Boyzone towel?, he asked coquettishly.
No, sadly. I did have a t-shirt, a hat, a bracelet, a necklace and more videos than I’m willing to think about now.
Thought I was only the coolest.
And, what is it with you and the big towels…? Is this some new thing you plan to bring to our sessions?
The only thing that bugged about that was the Z in ‘minimize’.
