    Wow - just when I thought these shows couldnt possibly get any better Eddie pulls a show like tonight out.

    It was electric the crowd really got into the night ,especially the final few songs.

    Highlights for me were immortality, picture in a frame, the end and I loved golden state with EJ.

    Thankyou Eddie for a truly magic night. :D

    Brilliant- can't say any more than that. Bogans yelling at a minimum- thank goodness. Was up the top in the dress circle & still had a great view. I don't think that there would be a bad seat in that beautiful theatre.

    Lots of people using mobiles to record- didn't see a lot of policing over that- they jumped on a few using a flash camera.

    Highlight : Porch & Hard Sun- tho every song was a treat. Can't wait until tonight.

    EJ & St.Cecilia-won't sit through that again- put me to sleep. Nice voices but boring.

    Only really discovered Pearl Jam properly about 18 months ago, so I've never seen them live before. Last night was my first time seeing Ed on stage, and he didn't disappoint - SO amazing, I had tears running down my face when he played "Breathe", yelling my lungs out for lots of the others, and The Who cover song was awesome. Can't wait to go back again tonight. My mission now, is to see the whole band live - A.S.A.P. SOMEWHERE :D:D:D

    Pearl Jam - PLEASE COME BACK TO SYDNEY SOON!!!!

    That was one hell of a show. Totally different feel to Brissie last Saturday with more of an electric slant.

    Really knowledgeable PJ crowd I thought and it felt like Ed dined out on that a bit. Highlights? Hell, the whole thing, but if I had to choose ....

    Dead Man, Picture In A Frame, Society- Let My Love Open The Door, Lukin, Porch, Immortality, The End and Keep On Rockin' In The Free World .

    Just awesome. What on earth can the great man pull out tonight? 10.5 hours and counting.

    Echo everything said here. Will just add it was a near flawless performance, hardly any mistakes compared to other nights (which I dont mind at all, but I'm sure he was very happy with last night). RITFW was a nice surprise :)

    RITFW must have been cool to hear. Was that Ed solo?


    Yeah Ed solo... It was nice cause it was after the 2nd encore, and I saw him at his little table with the recorder thing that he uses for hard sun and I thought 'oh no... its ending this is it' But i realised he had a different guitar to what he uses on hard sun

    And then the opening rifts to rockin in the free world came on and it was like 'Did he just do that?'

    AMAZING

    I dont know how he can top perfection... I dont...

    The music for betterman wasn't betterman.. Really interesting version. Did anyone recognise the tune or was it a bit of an impromptu thing?

    Was hoping for My Hometown, my homecoming show and all, but Growing Up... tops. RITFW, Immortality, Picture in a Frame, yum.

    Thanks Ed for giving me the Let My Love Open The Door shout out, cos of my Who shirt from last year's RAH Quadrophrenia show, but... this isn't Who, it's PT. Facts, Ed, facts. ;)

    That's pretty much the standard Ed-solo way of playing Betterman.

    I've not seen Ed solo before, but that rearrangement was amazing. Everyone knows Betterman, knows the story, loves the song, but something about the way it was delivered solo like that really brought the lyrics to the forefront of the song, it became an entirely different song with focus on the subject matter more evident than ever. One of many highlights of last night, an amazing show :)

    That's his solo way of playing it - referred to as the " Lullaby Version".. much better IMO, not that I don't like the PJ version, but I LOVE the Lullaby version- has made me fall in love with that song all over again. I think it relays the message of the song more clearly as well.

    Great show for Sydney 1- would loved to have seen Growing Up, Immortality and RITFW...in EV withdrawls from Brisbane..enjoy the next 2 nights Sydney
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me

    ANd the ovation when he walked on stage too... We were all standing...

    During Unthought known I was like 'holy fuck, this is pretty special, he deserves a standing ovation for this' when the song stopped a handful of people stood up and clapped, so I was up too... Awesome... Can not wait, wish this rain would fuck off though...

    People got up and rocked out for porch, ritfw and hard sun..

    Elderly woman was cool, he was getting feedback from his guitar in the speaker so he stopped after the first verse.

    'feedback is cool when its an electric guitar, but not acoustic'

    Nice one. I got front row on Mezzanine. Was a nice different perspective.

    On another note, some of the idiotic requests people call out are just embarrasing. SOLAT, Yellow Ledbetter etc.
    And it's so incredibly rude when Ed is talking and morons think they're so important that they have the right to interrupt him. And the guy who called out "it's shit" when Ed was talking about his uke album - should have been kicked out. How rude :shock: Glad someone responded with "fuck you man".

    Unthought Known is such a showcase of his voice... everyone always seems a bit awe struck after that one.
