His comment to a valid criticism from a fan, really pisses me off. I can get what he’s saying, but he can’t put that in a dignified way? This isn’t the first time I’ve been taken aback by CAG’s social media comments this tour. Get ready... they’ll send in Bill Hynes to comment next. They say don’t t ever meet your heroes. Given the opportunity, I don’t think I’d want to meet and greet CAG. Say what you will about Ed, at least he’s never acted that ghetto.

And who the hell are the people liking/loving his hypocritical comment? Sheep!!! Baaaa! (Where’s that emoji, dangum )

This dude is really getting out of pocket.

That response is horrible. Totally lack of empathy for those that spend their hard earned money to support THEM. Huge narcissist and he has been for a while.

Yes, it’s embarrassing! No wonder he drums head down and eyes closed.- He oughta be ashamed.

CAG acting a fool in a public fan forum is worthy of intelligent discussion. I looked to see the fan criticism which sparked it, and I can’t find either. Did it get taken down?

I liked it better when Gracey was supposedly the quiet sensible one.

I can no longer find it in the Fans of Live Facebook group either. Luckily I took a screen shot earlier.

I have to wonder if it's even CG that's posting? Doesn't he hate social media?

Either way, this is the only reason along with the archives that I am still fascinated by this band. The spin they put on everything is hilarious. They just keep digging a bigger hole.

Be lucky you even got 12 songs? I'd rather they cancel the show than pay money and take the time to see that show. Maybe in the future, they should just post their setlist before the show and let the fans decide if they still want to come.

100% it's Chad.

We already know the setlist. It's been 90% the same since the beginning of the Live/Bush/Tour. We delude ourselves into thinking that the next show is going to be special, that it's going to be different. Deep down we know that it's never going to happen. We know it's going to be the same old show night after night. I had convinced myself that this 9:30 Club gig would be different - hey, Live'playing their own show. 100% of fans are there to see only Live. No big band opener. It's in a small club. it's going to be special. NOPE!

Exactly why I'd never pay to see them again. I thought too that maybe...just maybe they would do a special show for #TC25.

Remember them asking fans what deep cuts they want to hear?

Playing for an hour is the definition of a money grab. If Ed is not right and you cannot put on a proper "headlining" show then reschedule and don't phone it in. Shit happens and the fans would understand.

There's no way Live, even as out of touch as they are, would think that fans would expect the same setlist as they had been playing for the festival shows. Expectations for a headline show were higher and they failed to deliver. Ed's voice being shot still does not explain playing two covers versus older deep tracks. They have yet to explain that.

Thank you for posting the fan’s comment, Dan. The comment, although quite abrasive, is true, and that’s why it stung Chad. The truth hurts.
Funny hashtags, by the way.

Sorry for the bad copy paste but this should be an answer to CG after his terrible comment...and don't forget to tell him that that Pearl Jam set was after another 33 songs the night before in 2018.

Edit...it was 2 nights before...but no one will make me cry with a strained voice from 12 songs concerts, even on a big tour.
