The Las Vegas show was not as funny. Musically, it was a bit better, there was
no stopping of songs midway into them, however the crowd was evil. After the
first set some girl stole Elliott's lighter and then before they came on for the
last song another girl stole Elliott's almost-full bottle of Jameson. He came
back out and was like "you stole my drink," so after they apparently
had passed the bottle around to a few people, a young lad decided to be funny
and tease Elliott with the bottle, promising to give it back if he played
"happiness," I think. In addition, they were smoking the cigarettes he
had on the floor of the stage. Like, I have no problem "taking" things
like a setlist or pick, if they're left behind, but I think what these people
did amounts to theft. I mean, perhaps Elliott really wanted to smoke his
cigarettes and use his lighter or maybe he wanted another swig of whiskey. Also,
after the first set Elliott was being nice and shook some hands, but the
above-mentioned group decided to practically pull him off stage. It was
frightening. After the whiskey incident Elliott was like "well fuck you
all" or something like that. Poor crowd behavior, I think. Other than that,
the show was good. I'm really starting to dig Grandaddy. Can't wait to see him
again...only another week or so before I get the chance, yay!
