Brooklyn Pit
I don’t know if anyone here was at the Brooklyn show last night, but I did feel like at a certain point the crowd surfing was distracting and ridiculous. Multiple people went down, and they even had to stop the set to check to see if someone was okay. As musicians I bet this was incredibly distracting, and also it was the SAME three or four people. I was also barricade at the PV tour last June, and the pit was much better. very kind folks, a normal amount of crowd surfing during certain songs, but this pit was NOT equipped to lift people. It was full of a lot of smaller women. It was the worst time I’ve had seeing them due to my head being on a swivel to make sure some drunk moron wasnt dropped on my head.
Overall, if you’re a surfer, maybe read the room to make sure the pit CAN hold you, because even after the incident where someone got hurt, people STILL KEPT SURFING after that.
Edit: Only reddit could make it so it’s offensive to say you’re selfish and risky for surfing over a pit that CANNOT HOLD YOU. You wanna surf at Of Mice & Men or Whitechapel? Go for it! You surf over a pit of people that can’t hold you? I think you’re an asshole and I don’t feel sorry for you if you get dropped.
