    Stayed at a hotel next to this venue last month on business. Would love to go back and see a show there. Great people, great town.

    10/05/96 – North Charleston Coliseum: Charleston, SC [130m]
    attendance: 9,000
    support act: The Fastbacks
    soundcheck: In My Tree, Off He Goes, Mankind

    set: Sometimes, Last Exit, Animal, Go, Hail Hail, Dissident, In My Tree, Corduroy, Better Man, Not for You, Jeremy, Black, State of Love and Trust, Habit, Rearviewmirror, Elderly Woman, Alive, Blood/(Fame)
    enc: Present Tense, Even Flow, Daughter, Improv, Off He Goes, Mankind, Whipping, Footsteps, Yellow Ledbetter

    notes: The venue is smallish; the crowd and staff are kind and not killing each other here. PJ takes a while to warm up, not really smoking until midway into the show. During a pause near the end of ‘Not for You,’ Ed asks, “How we doin’ so far?” (crowd cheers) “You don’t seem so bad yourself.” A rocking ‘State’ is intro’ed as “… a little number by request.” During ‘Habit,’ Ed pauses, looks out and says, “Speaking as an individual in a band who has never been in this town before.” Taking a break after ‘Go,’ Ed jokes about how when he was a kid he always thought seeing bands on the last night of a tour was great because they would be happy the tour is over and they would be “… drinking and dancing in the street, and they’re playing really loud and it’s gonna be a four-hour show …” etc.; but he says that really the second to the last show is the best, and the crowd goes wild! With Ed’s voice showing fatigue, he enlists audience assistance (“Want you … HELP ME! … in my … rearviewmirror”). ‘Present Tense’ is explained as a song that Mike wrote great music for and Ed, when coming up with lyrics, “… needed anything … anything to make me think. Just a starting point … so I thought of Pete Townshend. I took his initials and this one is called ‘Present Tense.’” Ed plays a brief improv (?) after ‘Daughter,’ about taking a drive to South Carolina and picking up his best friend. ‘Whipping’ is dedicated to the crazy people in the front. The audience selects the next song via an “experiment in voting in November.” The choices are ‘Leash’ (“kinda Bob Dole”), ‘Leaving Here’ (kinda Ross Perot) or ‘Footsteps’ (“that would be Bill Clinton”). ‘Footsteps’ is played. Ed’s final comments are, “I don’t know if it’s easy to like this band, but we sure appreciate the fact that you do.”



    Thanks for posting this :D not only is this my hometown but it was also my first show. What's crazy is this show sold out in like 6 min or some crazy shit and I remember being so bummed about not getting tix. Well about a few weeks before the show I was over at a friends apt who got lucky and was able to score tix and we were just siting around watching a surf video and his phone rings. Hank looks at me and says hell yeah I'll take 4 and hangs up. Hank says your not going to believe who that was. I'm like who was it? It was the ticket agency calling him to tell him that they had more tix for sale bcos evidently a lot of peoples credit cards didn't go through. And they were ga tix which was even better. Truly an unforgettable night.

    Not only have you screwed up their economy, but now you want to pollute their air? I think you Greecians better be careful before the EU kicks you out ;)

    Congrats everyone on 200 pages for this thread!

    Now all we need is PJ to recognize how much we want them to tour the South.... :(
  • shepshep Posts: 5,759
    This thread was started in 2009 and has gone from page 51 to 200 since the beginning of 2011.

    I think that says a lot and Pearl Jam should listen.

    I don't see anyone in the northeast putting out that kind of commitment!
