What do you guys think the possibility is that Ten Club would release bootlegs if we begged them enough? I emailed them and was told they had no plans to do so as of yet. But do you think they would react to our wished and demands? I think its worth a shot.
Feel free to join in the bootleg begging thread on the porch
This was by far the most incredible performance I have ever seen
I am in total agreement with Bulldog88 on this. The night was perfect and I felt like I won the lottery. I could not believe my eyes when I found out I had center stage front row tickets to the last night of the tour. I was on cloud 9. There was no doubt this night would be one of the greatest experiences in my life! And it was...Liam rocked hard. I couldn't believe it when he said, as he sat down to play with Ed, that he was on cold medicine. That little guy has so much energy. I was impressed to say the least. Then Ed came on and absolutely amazed me. I'm not sure what great deed I have done in the past to have been afforded this opportunity, but I will surely never forget it. Thanks Ed!!!

Hello!
Long time lurker and maybe second time poster here and I'm crawling out from under my rock on this rare occasion to share one or two cool things about these shows and PJ fans.
First off I'll chime in and sing harmony to how special these shows seemed. I saw Ed's west coast tour 3 times and have seen him solo twice before at two outstanding benefit shows and in my opinion these were by far the best I've seen. He cleared most all the "hope he plays this one " songs I wanted to hear the first night and the second night just kept going places I never imagined but was thrilled to be taken. Hawaii '78 alone was worth the whole trip. Goosebumps...
Secondly, I'm lucky enough to call KC a friend of mine. We ended up sitting next to him at the first of the 3 SF 2006 shows and after the show he said "look for us in line tomorrrow, we'll save you a spot" he did, we had another great time and he did the same thing for us the next night too. KC is the kind of fan we all can really appreciate. He totally "gets it". The music, the message, and most of all the friendy family vibe that we are all so fortunate this band really brings out in us. In the years since we've traveled up north to attend Bridge School with him twice, he's come down here for the 2 Ed shows at the Wiltern and The Who's VH1 thingy and we went back east last year for 3 shows in the great Northeast {you Boston fans rock by the way}. KC has a 5 digit fan club number while mine is in the low 200,000 area, the dude has given me his tickets and taken mine, given me setlists that were handed to him by roadies, put picks in my hand that he caught from Mike and Ed and all in all been one of the best friends anyone could ask for. And as no small aside KC is a firefighter that saves people's lives for a living.
So, on the second night when we were allowed to get right up next to the stage and Ed had lyric trouble, KC was exactly what Ed called him. "That guy who knows what he talking about". It could not have happend to a better person. Simply good karma working here. That Corona bottle is now back in California and I know it will be framed up and treasured. BTW he gave me a drag on it also so really Ed, KC and I shared a beer . I couldn't have been more stoked to see that whole thing happen...
Another quick shout out to "pearljam623", the couple sitting next to us. Both very cool easy going people. Both teachers, more PJ fans working in a job that helps make the world a better place. Again I think karma had much to do with Ed's harmonica ending up where it did....
I had another great time like I always do, both because of how special Ed and Pearl Jam are and how many wonderful people I've met along the way and shared some of the best moments of my life with.
Peace and Love to you all,
Dave
Man, I don't even know how to respond to those kind words, Dave. Thanks! I can certainly say the same about you. I'll put it like this: I can't think of two other people I'd rather have a beer with at an Ed show than you and, of course, Ed!
I'm so glad to hear everyone seems to be on the same page on this one; that this was an epic show. We were pretty f'n lucky to have been there. It's been almost a week since the show and I'm still on a high! Hopefully it'll hold me over to the west coast gigs (I hope!) because I've definitely got the itch!

I dont think I have ever posted anything. I went to eight of the last nine shows (-memphis) balt,nash,atl,maui,hnl . Met eddie vedder,in hawai he was staying at the same hotel as me.What would you do if he and his family were around you for a week within 50 feet everyday ? Stand up paddle boards beachfront in Hawaii wife and kids family etc......I can't explain what I felt, it was really cool, the shows the venues the oppurtunity to have witnessed how he interacted with his family and friends, he is a REGULAR JOE and I am really honored to have met him.

Would leave him and his family alone. Have had similar experiences with the band and did just that.
Okay... I'm back on the mainland, now. I just want to chime in about one incredible week out on the Islands.
The trio set of shows were pretty damn amazing. We got a pretty good mix of just about everything. I would have to say that 'Crazy Mary' was a definate unexpected treat. Liam's 'surf rendition' of 'Lead Balloon' was also memorable. 'Hawaii '78' was almost considered a gimme... but, still... gave me chills. It was also nice to see Boom and Mark, again.
I thought the audience at all 3 shows were very respectful... then again, I have the April Fool's Wiltern Shows as comparison... so for all I know, the people in Hawaii were horrible. But, compared to the Wiltern... it was a roomful of angels.
Being in the company with such good friends... and meeting so many really nice people only adds to the overall experience. I feel fortunate to have met such wonderful people whom have turned into lifelong friends.
The only downside would be Joni from Down Under... I hope she finds a path towards a speedy and full recovery.
...
gonna try to keep the Hawaii Sytle goin' here in L.A. But, it was a bit of a reality check, leaving the sands of Waikiki to come home to a nasty-ass box of kitty litter (my neighbor will feed my critters while I'm out.. but, she ain't doin' no cat boxes).
Aloha and Mahalo.
thank u.and wellcome back..
