No sticks in Burgettstown? New this tour?

I'm guessing that lawyers are somehow involved. I have been in the middle of the stick catching frenzy quite a few times and it can be brutial. Folks diving, grabbing, piling, stealing, yes and I even heard someone threaten to "let go or I'll bite your ear off". It always looked like a lawsuit to me. But how amazing to be singled out by the greatest drummer ever and tossed a stick.

    Noticed this too and wondered why. Maybe he just doesn't like us anymore.

    That would explain the glut of sticks on eBay and Craig's List.



    Seriously though, I have no idea why Carter didn't toss any sticks. He did at Bristow a couple of weeks ago. Don't know about Riverbend.

    guessing he just was in a rare bad mood and wanted to get out. It happens.

    Third-ed for the link please.

    Also, I think the band was simply in an off mood. Stephan didn't run across the stage during the Bridge. Carter didn't throw any sticks. Aside from Dave's crazy legs during Ants, it didn't seem like they were in to it at all.

    Your right, but he didn't throw those 2 sticks he handed them to them.

    I guess I'll never understand why adults would fight over a drumstick. I don't care who used it. If I caught a stick, I would immediately look for the nearest kid to give it to.
