2003, Detroit, night 1. Open air venue, general admission seating on a hill. Encore 1 has the best long rambling speech ever....Encore 2 speech, more to the point. Pre-Soon Forget, Ed with the telecaster Ukelele:
"....And i'm not trying to make any judgements, but for all you pot-smokers up on the hill, you really need to get one of these (ukelele)..........you can just......(rolls head spacey, strums his uke....)......"
Encore 1 was actually way funnier, when discussing the very large sponsor signage around the stage, drew a line between Big Boy restaurants, freedom of speech in newspapers, and Sheryl Crow liking dildos. Really worth a listen. Such a great show that night.

"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".

“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
the ever so rofl quote about good charlotte "they sound like uh.. well they taste like a popsicle thats been up someones ass..but some people are into that!" as i was watching the dvd with a (now ex) girlfriend who liked them . i just stood up and said "hah burn!!"
so many favorite live Vedder quotes, but this one always makes me laugh for some reason:
"Shut the fuck up. [pause, and applause] I'm a bigger loser than all y'all put together...but it's nice to be in good company." -- 2/8/95, Missoula, MT
"I know I was born and I know that I'll die...the in between is mine"
Ed's speech explaining the origins of Long Road to open the first encore at San Diego '06 and announcement of the Clayton E Liggett Theatre in Encinitas.

from Berlin 2010:
"2 questions, already I think I might know the answer but just convince me - Are you happy?! Are you feeling safe?!"
and "Who made this setlist?"
and from Katowice 2000:
when a male yells: Eddie I love you!
"I'll talk to you about that later"
Thanks for the chance!!!

8.24.09 Chicago:
During Even Flow, Ed notices a guy wearing a shirt saying “No Even Flow”, and starts a bit of an exchange with him, after the line “I can’t help when I’m happy, look insane.”, he yells “saw you too late, man”, then introduces Mike’s solo, “Once again, Mr. Mike McCready whether you like it or not”. After the song, Ed continues at the guy, “How’s that for Mr. Mike McCready on the right-hand guitar? He has to play that song or else he’ll fucking kill somebody. And I have a nominee, for ah… Mike, next time you don’t play that song, this guy right here, this guy.. he’s wearing a shirt that says “no even flow”, I suggest you kill him first. (rim shot) I know you can take him by yourself, but if you need help, I’ll help. You know the thing is sir, we take requests not orders, you should know better than that.”
I love those 2
Great thread!!

"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
love that one old son
i like the one where he was a go at the Security Guard about a sign
ive got the book though so please dont put me into the draw G
peace
Hartford 2010 - When he saw signs in the audience (he could not read at first)
-Can someone with decent seats please hold up the sign?
When he realized it said B,R,W
Something like
-All right, All right, Good Effort, We A'int gonna play it but good effort, it's not like we come to your house asking for eggs when you made pancakes... Will eat the pancakes...
One of a number of good quotes from San Diego 09, “it’s Friday night, in San Diego, and we have a shitload of guitars and amps, so lets blow the f*cking roof off this place”, followed by Brain Of J... It's been great to read all the quotes and a few I hadn't ever heard. Draw after I finish work later....

I probably won't get these quotes verbatim, but I'll give it a shot from two shows that I've been to:
St. Louis 2010
"This next song would be classified as a drug song, b/c not all drugs are good....some of them are great" ~into to Severed Hand.
WM3 Rally
Ed was saying that he would need some help and wanted us to sing along or at least pretend like we were singing "you've all been to church, you know how to lip sync, oh shit, I forgot there's a preacher here."
I probably butchered those, but I find them funny.
OK folks, 1st name from the hat is the first PJ fan I met on this years tour, was first at the venues and was first to answer in the post! Congrats to.........BRISK I've decided to give a mystery prize for picking my own favourite quote for this one...
War doesn’t determine who’s right; it determines who’s left.
Addresses please guys and I'll send your gifts this week!!
