Bouncing Souls, Lifetime & a crowd surfer in a wheelchair @ Webster Hall in NYC - pics & video
photos by Brian Woodward
"There were plenty of things those crowd-surfing at the Bouncing Souls show Thursday night at Webster Hall were wearing or holding on to that seemed like potential liabilities: glasses, hats, a backpack, a purse, a wheelchair.The Bouncing Souls completed their 2-night, 20th anniversary run at Webster Hall in NYC last night (Saturday, 8/21). The wheelchair incident happened on the first night, Friday (8/20), which is also when Lifetime and None More Black opened. More pictures and some videos from that show below...Come again?
During "Lean on Sheena," one of the Bouncing Souls' more agitated numbers, a few muscular young men toward the back of the crowd hoisted one of their friends, upright in his wheelchair, and thrust him forward. He rode the crowd, dozens of hands reaching upward to grip the tires, until he was deposited onstage, prompting the band's bass player, Bryan Kienlen, to exult, "That's Jersey right there for you!" [NY Times]
Lifetime
Bouncing Souls
Brian missed None More Black and his camera broke at the show, so there's limited pics above, but more coverage from Friday when 7 Seconds played is coming soon...

Webster Hall is the only venue in the city where you could see a guy in a wheelchair crowd-surfing. Every time I go there, I vow to myself I'll never come back when I leave.

"Brian missed None More Black and his camera broke at the show" -- did the camera die of natural causes or crowd surfing related?

I have to disagree with the NY Times review of Lifetime, I feel like that's kind of how Ari Katz does his shows, at least the ones I've seen, he's just kinda calm.
"The great thing about Lifetime is they have a very, very assured presence. No smiling. Deadpan. Serious thank yous. When they mention that it's great that there's no barrier set up between the stage and that the crowd should pick up the pace and get the pit going, but in a really nonchalant way, you know they know they're the shit. Calm violence? I guess that sounds creepy. It's not a pretentious thing, it's just a quiet confidence that shines through."
