Eddie Vedder solo: 2008 - Boston night 1 & 2 || 2009 - Albany, NY night 1 & 2 || 2011 - Hartford, CT, Boston, MA
couldn't remember the words....to arc??
It was a loop...not a recording.
Glad she's ok.

Arc was weird- it did sound a little off as he started it, and then just told the sound guy to cut it. Two encores was sweet. Crowd was ok, didnt get the hint when he was telling them to shut up. New song was good but didnt feel like a PJ album song. After he played Drifting he said something about playing TWO more Christmas songs but only played Santa Cruz, wonder what the other one he was gonna play-unless Im not remember that one of the other songs he played was a single.
38+6 shows at the age of 27 and counting...but still no Undone

I think what he is saying is that he forgot the words to the song after arc

The other xmas song was Golden State.
You lucky bastards...

well he loops arc over and over and over until it is a series of "recordings" of him.
work = work + 1;
sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
else if (work >= 0) {
reality.equals(false);
work = work +1;
}system("pause");
return 0;}
Let See, Gone was great, took Ed a while to get it going and had to stop a few times, and the crowd sang a lot of it. Rise was dedicated to Phil Jackson after some people were yelling out about the Lakers. Ed said right after driftin that he may play 1 or 2 more Christmas single songs.
Society was great with Jerry.
Golden State was amazing. As was Santa Cruz
I really like the new song now that I got a better listen to it, its a sad song.
You could tell something was off on ARC right from the start, either the mics were not set up right or the machine was not set up right. But as soon as he started to sing it and loop it, it was off. patriot was played to make up for it. He did seem annoyed that Arc was messed up. He got fired up when he had guitar problems during hard sun too.
Great show- can't wait till tomorrow night. I hoped everyone did not think I was screwing around when I was sending over some of those songs.
Amazing show but a strange vibe, due in part to the raucous nature of the crowd. Quite different than DC, NY and NJ shows from last year. This crowd seemed rowdier and unfortunately crasser than last years. They did not heed Eddie's wishes and continually interrupted him, leaving him a bit unnerved. As a Baltimore native I was embarrassed by my hometown's rude behavior, particularly in light of how few times EV or PJ have been to our town.
The problems seemed to accelerate during PJ's new song. It looked like a very complicated song to play. He grew increasingly frustrated during transitions. His rhythm appeared lost. He looked agitated, frustrated and weary at the end of the song, which in our opinion led to the ARC incident. He tried to regain his composure but unruly behavior and equipment failure during Hard Sun worked against him, ending the show on a downer note.
I hope Bmore can get her act together tomorrow, show some class and make it a special evening.
Enjoy!

world fucking champs!!!
Ed started the looping for Arc like he does. About 30 seconds into it he stopped and told them to turn the lights back on. He said he just wasn't feeling it and would rather move on than fake it. He apologized about 3 times.
oh well
I was 3rd row....WOOOOOT
The Sentence Above Is False
Ah, too much right now, I have to be at work in about 5 hours so I need to crash. Good crowd too, by the way except for a few assholes - but that's to be expected in Baltimore. Honestly, I was expecting worse. Glad everyone else had a great time. And yes to those who didn't see the show, the setlist was definitely as good as it looks. Eddies voice was spot on the entire night too - excellent work.
By the way, did anyone get a chance to snap any pics or take any videos?? It was tough to take anything good with all the dickheaded security. Share the pics/videos if you do!!!
