This. I would even to go as far as people having to get a wristband at a tent and show ID. No wristband = ticket and getting kicked out.

Are there a lot of 21+ year olds that do stupid shit? Sure there are. But the majority of these "fights" and altercations are from stupid young kids there just to be seen.

theres nothing i hate more at a show than drunk 17 yr olds...i was a drunk 17 yr old 9 years ago but i always behaved myself for fear of getting caught (99.99999999% impossible to be a teacher in pa w/any kind of drinking/drugs charge)

[BruceW]

what a great week!! could not have enjoyed the shows, philly, or the awesome fans/venue any more...I would love to make another stop in Camden to catch the band again someday

It's nice to know that regardless of what happens from here on out Camden N2 will almost certainly be considered among the best shows of the tour. Easily the best right now, and honestly, I think it's going to take a bit more than GGT for it to be topped at Alpine. That said, I truly hope the band's creativity got a jolt with what went on at Camden this past week.

Got to the Campbells Lot N2 around 4:30 and within 10 minutes, there was a cop van that immediately put 2 kids in the back. Within the next 5 minutes they had another 7-9 kids they put back there and drove off. Cops really didn't come by much after that, but most people were behaving themselves for the most part.
Anyone else notice the 2 guys on the roof of the building where the 1 bar is located with binoculars looking over the lots? Had to be cops, right?

Anyway, now to my story of the drunk ass kid sitting next to me that really wanted to get punched. Got to my seats with my friend around 8:15, 202 B26. Love those seats by the way, right next to the sound board and everyone around us(except this one prick) was very cool and into the entire show. So immediately after sitting down, this kid by himself sits next to me and tells me he is on Ants(instant respect) and he is 22. Not one minute later he asks me to get him a beer. I remind him he is 22 and to get it himself. Then he confesses and apologies that is is only 20. Ok, whatever. My friend and I had a good laugh at that. He asks me again to get him a beer, which he most definitely did not need. And thank god I told him "NO" due to the monster of an opening run. He then proceeds to sing every word of the first 2 songs directly in my ear waving his hands in my face. I had to push him to the side multiple times. Once he realized I wanted no part of his retardation, he decides to engage the row of girls in front of us. Then hops over to row A and begins to clearly annoy them in a similar fashion. They call the usher over, the usher redirects him back to his seat next to me, uggh. Halfway through the set, my friend and I are sitting down chilling with a J and he gets up and attempts to squeeze his way by the sound booth down to row A again, I kick him in the leg and tell him that is not a good idea. He sits back down and immediately falls asleep. The girls realize he is asleep a few songs later and take pictures with this sleeping fool. Unfortunately that wakes him and the annoying kicks back in. Around the end of the main set we see him climbing over the seats AGAIN, my friend grabs me and says "just let him go." He does and gets between the group of girls and another girl with her boyfriend/husband/whatever. The boyfriend does not take kindly to this line that has been crossed again and yells/pushes this kid until he climbs back over and sits back down next to me. He tries to engage me again and at this point I have had enough. I yell at him and say, "look, this is what you need to do right now, sit the fuck right here and SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Everyone around me was in this kids ear too yelling at him to just stop. Took every ounce of willpower not to punch him in the face. Anyone in my immediate area would agree with me this kid was a prick and should have been removed a lot earlier than he was. Security did finally come over and remove him around So Right, but the damage was done. Didn't ruin my time overall, but could have done without him.

Take a lesson youngsters, don't do what this Ahole did. I was drunk and high and I know people didn't write stories like this about me. Cheers to the rest of the tour. I'll be getting my last licks in at Citi Field. Giggidy!

I know i'm prob gonna get ripped up for this, but i don't think its just the underage drinking, i think its just the croud in general. I'm 20 years old and don't drink at all really, especially at concerts. I saw a lot of underage people, but i also saw a lot of people in their 20's, drunk, and acting like morons. With such a talented band, who the hell would wanna drink and not be able to appreciate the music? I never understood it. As long as there is tailgaiting and drinking in the venues, nothing will change, it's not just underaged people, its the croud in general IMO

Is he still on his hiatus?

I think it's awesome that after the dust has settled between SPAC and Alpine, Camden N2 stands alone as the top show so far.

Not in a venue war type way, but it's great to see a lesser hyped venue get what will likely stand as one of the best shows of the tour when all is said and done.

I should have been at this show. I'm about to listen to the tape in about an hour. The main set has such a good flow to it.

Maybe Camden will finally get the credit it deserves, as in maybe a Live Trax one day

Yeah true. Just a minor glitch

[crashintonickdm]

the thing is, camden always gets great shows. people just hate the area and that reason alone forbids folks to say its one of the best stops. SPAC is a big deal, but alpine didnt get onto the map til 2006 when last stop came back. 1999 and 2000 alpine was just another midwest hicksville stop.

[lillywhiteraven]

listening to the n2 tape. i love this show. stone sounds fuckin awesome!

I agree, although I would give almost anything to have seen Say Goodbye. As a whole n2 was just unbelievable

Nothing hilarious about it -- Camden N2 beat both nights of SPAC and both nights of Alpine this year. Booyah.

don't get me wrong, I was at Camden N2 and the show was fucking incredible, and I hate the hype Alpine gets, but N2 Alpine is a pretty good looking show.

EDIT: nvm, i stand corrected. I think it was just IBYU, DIDO, Say Goodbye, and OSW standing out for me. I'm so glad I went to Camden N2, the last few years I've gotten lucky in the shows i've picked.
