Cell phones at concerts annoy me too. This woman hated it so much she started to hit the guy in front of her who was filming the whole show on his phone. Unfortunately for her, Eddie Vedder saw it all happen from the stage. Right in the middle of a song he stopped and asked that the lights be brought up. In the video you can hear him having a chat with her before he asks security to escort her out. He says "I was looking right at you, you could've waved" Indicating he might have taken her side? Then continues to tell her "violence isn't accepted here, you're out". Then tells the band to take it from the chorus and they start again. Not only was this the right thing to do but only a real rock band who is not playing to vocal tracks could pull this off. It's impossible to stop in a middle of a song and start up again unless you're actually playing it live. It's good to know that not only is Eddie watching out for his fans but also giving them a live show which is what they payed for. Salute! https://consequence.net/2022/07/eddie-vedder-throws-pearl-jam-fan-out-violent-behavior/
