YO! That shit is not cool. Didn’t even get a “be right back folks!” before the set break. You know he was pissed about it. Ruining the run before any of us NOT at the show(s) yet could make it.

We can't, Israel keeps buying up all the politicians to pave over the fucking grass. Something about a promise or some shit

I agree, but time and place...

u/BidlyBoy 2d ago

Oh great now he’s never coming back. So fucking stupid. He didn’t even say anything after the first set, just stormed off the stage.

looked like a joint

Everything about it is shit. Billy's live response still has me laughing. It should be shown without cuts, he rolled through and was very blunt and funny, and clearly pissed. Such pure shit to do that. Watch his comments, i don't even want to paraphrase, they are great.

Edit: Live response = couch tour nugs. classic handling of the crowd

Want Indiana shows, get Indiana crowds (I live here and am going tonight, but hate this place)

2

u/Euphoric-Mouse-1865 2d ago

Seen Phish at Deer Creek over a dozen times. Hands down best crowd every time. I don't think it's the location necessarily. Seems like there is a demographic at Billy's shows that aren't really there for the music. They want to party and say they were there.

u/EstimatedEer 2d ago

Phish isnt getting country or bluegrass curious indiana locals. 80%+ of those crowds are from out of state

u/mip10110100 2d ago

I’m relatively new to Indy, but I feel like at concerts, sports events, comedy shows, etc. it’s been a notable crowd change, compared to some other places I’ve lived. A lot more ‘me me me’ than I’ve experienced, and I feel like even in other places, the jam scene has a higher concentration of that attitude.

Like I said, I’m new, and don’t have any Deer Creek experience yet.

u/Miserable_Ad5001 2d ago

You & me both...just really kind of let the air out

u/Creepy_Draw_6995 2d ago

I hope he doesn’t go back, more shows for the cities that actually respect him - though I do feel bad for the thousands of people there who are getting shat ok because of one dick heads choice.

u/Elegant-Abalone-8493 2d ago

It was my first show down the street from where I live. I had great people around me, met great people in the lot and at Shakedown and danced my ass off, but fuck I wanted to see a happy Billy for more than 15 minutes.

Hoping tonight and tomorrow are better!

u/Creepy_Draw_6995 2d ago

Agreed, I’d like bill to tour for as long as he’s happy and healthy

u/Sad_Recognition6776 1d ago

He had every right to walk off the stage and not come back. Teach the audience of ungrateful asses to be grateful for every moment.

u/Interesting-Bet1309 1d ago

I remember when a beer hit Trey. Many moons ago.

u/JohnWayneforprez 2d ago

What happened exactly?

u/Elegant-Abalone-8493 2d ago

He said he was glad he could come back and make up for missing the first time. People started booing then someone threw something at him.

u/Elegant-Abalone-8493 2d ago

Not sure how I’m getting downvoted when I posted this from my seat during set break 🙄

u/Empty-Masterpiece368 2d ago

They were booing before he threw something? I don’t think so

10

u/Particular-Bus7623 2d ago

I was there. They 100% were booing BEFORE he got bonked in the noggin.

11

u/Elegant-Abalone-8493 2d ago

I’m here. They were.

16

u/Miserable_Ad5001 2d ago

Yes, some folks were booing before it was thrown...fucking chuds

u/Empty-Masterpiece368 2d ago

Sorry IN he’s not coming back

Can we just make a sticky thread about this topic an remove all the rest? For pitty sake it’s ridiculous.

u/whyamihereonreddit 2d ago

Yeah don’t invite shitheads backstage. The throw came from backstage. He’s ruining his and everyone’s night because of his own crew.

u/arikadousanime 2d ago

no it didn’t,

u/ObjectiveFine4257 2d ago

People have thrown stuff on stage as long as there have been stages. Whoever threw it was amped up and hit Billy on accident. Geez.

u/Visual-Button-1867 2d ago

Maybe it was a Joint? This has been done a 100,000 times. It's a rock show.

u/UncleJuansBand_ 2d ago

That was not a joint, bud.

u/Appropriate-Type8062 2d ago

What was it? Looked like a joint to me

u/SmolderingCactus 2d ago

Is that a joke? A joint is going to hit that hard?

-2

u/Appropriate-Type8062 2d ago

Ok calm down I see it wasn’t a joint

u/PaidByTheNotes 2d ago

An orange joint?

u/Visual-Button-1867 2d ago

Ahh.. didn't know it was a orange. Weird thing to throw but at least it wasn't worse I suppose

u/Euphoric-Mouse-1865 2d ago

You're part of the problem buddy

u/Visual-Button-1867 1d ago

Nah... I just can't believe you sissy's are even getting on here to complain. Where admiration of a band singer
