This one... We're thinking about the Great Barrier Reef... The Ningaloo Reef, north of Perth... Some of the most incredible nirvanas, eons on the planet... Here's to all those conservationists out there who've been doing the good work for the last twenty years, and it's only gotten harder but they never quit... We dedicate this one to them, and their faith and their hope... This one's called Wreckage... ~ Eddie Vedder

Docklands 20/11/09 Six years ago, I was giving this jersey from a friend of mine... His name is Ross Knight... He plays for the Cosmic Psychos... He's a great man... He knows how to run a bulldozer like nobody else... And he gave me this jersey about six years ago... I've been carrying it ever since... I don't have any affinity towards any teams, but it's just a beautifully made jersey... Ross is here tonight... We want to dedicate this one to our other drinking partner who has to be back home... His name is Matt Lukin from Mudhoney... This one is aptly titled... Lukin... ~ Eddie Vedder

Drummers are like fingerprints... You know, snowflakes... They're all just different... Well, all of us are different... I'm having some crazy... Plus, my head, my body and all the pain... I'm tripping balls tonight... I'm hearing the way he's playing and some other things he's doing on the snare... And I swear to God, I've just been delivered back into this basement... Back in 1990-91... It's a trip man... This next song, I remember walking... I was staying in the studio, so I must have gone out... Oh, I think I had to put money in the parking meter... And I was walking back and it was a rare kind of sunny day in Seattle... Rare... Especially back then... It's warming up a bit now, but it used to be just so rare to have a nice day... So, I looked up and I saw this guy... He had kind of blue cut-off jeans... He had a kind of like a scraggly-looking body, but kind of cool... You know, like an anorexic, but kind of cool... He looked scruffy, and he was about the second or third floor... He was just sitting on the open windowsill... And I thought that guy he's just loving life right now... Like a beautiful day... He's got kind of a run-down apartment... But he's got the window view... He's got the whole thing... And I looked up and I wondered I can wave to him, but he looks like I don't know maybe he might throw a knife at me or something... And then I realised, there is something in his hand... And it is kind of reflecting some kind of the sunlight... And then I realised he was just shooting up on the window sill... And I thought: Well, I was thinking the day was pretty good anyways but he was kind of really trying to make it pit somehow... And then I got nervous because I don't know that much about it or didn't certainly then... But you kind of nod out... So, is he going to go this way or that way?... So, I kind of like stood by this mailbox acting like I was busy... I wasn't going to catch him or anything but I was thinking... Sure enough he started to nod, and then fell back the other way and then disappeared into the apartment... Never to be seen again... But I sing about him often... ~ Eddie Vedder

Bristow 13/05/10 There is a friend of mine... I was with him in January... We were talking about the things that we're going to do this coming year... One of the things that I mentioned was that I will be playing D.C. in early May... And here we are... He had plans too but that's before the earthquake hit Haiti around January 12th, something like that... His name's Sean Penn, and he's been down there just about ever since... I think he's been home for a few days back and forth... He's down there in the trenches and I've been getting messages from him that they still need help down there... We've done a bit of what we can do... I just want to suggest to you, if you have the willingness and the energy to just check out a website... If you just look up J/P and Haiti... JP is easy to remember cause it's PJ backwards... J/P Haiti... It's a beautiful site that says what they've achieved and what's coming down the pike... One of these things is an outbreak of diphtheria they're terrified by... Every little bit helps and you can tell them we sent you and they'll be so appreciative... They're doing great great work and they can still use your support... So, thank you very much for hearing that... The context of this song is an abusive relationship... I'm not dedicating that part to Sean... Just the title... ~ Eddie Vedder
