Anyone get a spare poster? I was at the show but missed out! So keen! I have the poster from every show I have been to framed on the wall, but am missing this one! Help me out please!

I got to hug the dude Trent who got him to play Forever young. Karma boost for the week

And I swear Eddie saw me dancing behind the last row way at the top.

Saw Arc loop for the first time in NYC a few years back. It just gets better.

Was there with my sister who is visiting australia for the first time and The Who is our dad's favorite band.
Behind blue eyes come on!!!!!

My last show for the tour and what a way to finish!!

Too many highlights for me. City of Ruins, I'm Open, I believe in miracles(included a story of how Ed was in Sydney when he heard that Joey Ramone had died and just went out surfing for a couple of hours singing this song to himself over and over)
Hide you love, Behind Blues Eyes, Golden State was awesome last night. It's been great before but something about it last night went the extra yard.

I finally had close seats(4th row) and watching Ed do Arc up close made my night.

RITFW Just plain ROCKS!! That and Hard Sun are so good to finish with.

Now a I have to get over my PEVD(Post Eddie Vedder Depression) :(

Thank You Ed for 5 unforgettable nights!!

My city of ruins was magic. So much of last night was, and I could talk about all the songs. But as City of Ruins comes on my itunes, IMO last night was better than when he sang it for Springsteen (and yes, I realise I am probably biased) I must say, I missed the choir in the background, but I think Ed was feeling it more as he dedicated it to Japan.

One of the truly special moments of my 3 concerts and I hope for bootlegs...

Wow! I never thought I'd see such awesome songs!!!!!!!!!!!! Over the three nights my favourites were You're True, Can't Keep (twice!!!!!!!), Driftin', My City of Ruins, Arc, Parting Ways, Immortality, Hide Your Love Away, Long Road Around The Bend, Forever Young, Crazy Mary, Wishlist (also twice) Picture In a Frame, Dead Man (I got goose bumps) etc. Eddie was so funny and really shut up those bogans last night. I love how no one chanted "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.." with that idiot. I met/sat next to some Ten Clubers Jason and Alison on night 1, they were so nice. I got Ten C FRONT ROW tix night two (thankyou sooooooo much). Eddie smiled at me during Hard Sun and then forgot the words. These three days have been so great. I got some pictures from last night but I'm not sure if I should post them cause of the restrictions with photography and recording. Now I just have to get over the Post Show Blues.

Behind Blue Eyes was a surprise inclusion that was amazing. The story Ed told before it was priceless.

My City Of Ruins was as touching as it was awesome. And what can be said about Arc.

A night of the highest highlights. Three nights I'n Sydney where you wondered how he could surpass the previous show - yet he managed to. Incredible.

I really hope Ed decides to take many more working holidays down here.

pjamaholic

So do I. Three more sleeps now and it's our turn. Roll on Melbourne!!

So with the report of the Syd 3 Emek poster being the cover for an upcoming Ed DVD, did anyone notice any cameras at the show?

I sat in the stalls at Newcastle and saw the camera at the soundstage but didnt see any from the mezz at Syd 2.

pjfan31

One camera that I noticed at all three sydney shows at the sound desk. I presume it is there for all shows..

Great Setlist. Australia has seen some gems!

These shows have been UNREAL. I'm still on a high from the weekend and can't concentrate on anything but my Thursday afternoon flight to Melbourne. Have met so many amazing 10C'ers. EV's performances are so uplifting. I don't think there has ever been a more joyful moment than belting out Hard Sun in these theatres!

Does anyone know if Michael from Scotland is on the pit?

So jealous of you who are seeing more EV shows. I'm feeling a bit lost at the moment with nothing to look forward to. What's Michael's surname? Was he at Newcastle?

jaselynch

Yah Michael was in Newcastle. Don't know his last name.

You might be right.... starts in Drum, ends in 89...

I wish there were bootlegs, or compilation from those shows.
Got Arc, finally. Was definitely too short, should be at least 15 minutes longer.
My City of Ruins was great, so was Behind Blue Eyes. Great surprise.
The guys in the first rows rocked big time, even Eddie seemed amused.
Interesting how every show is different, not just the setlist, but general atmosphere as well, wish I could travel further to see what's next. Kinda got a taste of it.
At least lots of songs that I saw on this tour are included on Eddie's concert DVD. That will do just nicely.

I saw a post from drumachine89 last night and couldnt remember who was looking for him...

Gary Carter

love this setlist

OMG the clip of RitFW & Hard Sun has gone from youtube - This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Pearl Jam Ten Club.

Jeez, they're not letting people put anything up. Bummer. So nice to re-live it. :(

Oh & yep Michael was at Newy & he's Drum Machine89.

I was at the show on Sunday in Sydney. I've never been to anything like this, I had a lump in my throat when he sang Arc, he is so talented! Eddie was in a good mood and was being very funny. It felt like we were all friends sitting in his loungeroom having a sing-along. My only regret is that I wasn't closer to the stage. My dream is to be down the front some day and then after the concert meet Ed himself and shake his hand and thank him for all of the happiness his music has brought to my life. I feel like he is one of my best friends that I haven't met. His tunes are the sound track to my life. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Sunday night was a privelege to witness and I shall remember it for the rest of my life xoxo Sar

he said something like

'I started playing this song when I was 14. I smoked a lot of pot when I was 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 & 21 but then I stopped..... until I was 31'
