Hope tomorrow can top off the tour in grand style.
And what can I say about that concert other than....wow. Blown away. Will be buzzing for weeks. Off He Goes, Unthought Known, Elderly Woman, Porch, random outburst of the outro of Millworker, just to name a few highlights.
And still one more night to go.
best show yet
the man a truly amazing entertainer
Another steller ED perormance,
Quite impressed withthe crowd, a nice suprise.
Special moments:
Ed revealing he planed to stay with the group until the day he dies - or at least forever
Ed remembering West Australia (WA) every time he writes his address, Seattle, WA
Ed forgetting a chord and balaming it opn getting high and then telling a long and funny stroy about hemp fest or something in Seattle in 93.
Thanking the audience for their energy and lamenting almost missing out on playing Perth
It was the show we'd hoped for and Ed delivered. Thank you to the 10 CLub, Ed and Chugg for making this happen!
he played every song i could have hoped for.... Better days was the stand out and had everyone completely shell shocked,.. speechless.. this was the climactic spiritual experience.... i cant even put it into words, you were transcended out of this world and ...time and space just ceased to exist.. you were suspended in..nothingness.. you no longer existed.. the experience of Oneness is a better way to describe it..
Ed could have been channelling the divine for all we knew..probably was
After the Instrumental to Millworker.. from that point Eddie was on absolute fire until the very end... i could go on and on... but i wont.. you have to go for yourself!!
EJ Barnes & Cecilia Herbert were just wonderful!!!
Thank you once again Tenclub..i feel very blessed!! i truely believed ed would make it to Perth. and he did!!!

Send my credentials to the house of detention
Aw. That's beautiful.
I am soooo happy to be going again tonight... this time with my 5 year old son, his first ever concert and he gets to go to EDDIE VEDDER... what a lucky kid!!
Thanks to Ten Club for such great seats... Row GG!
Thanks again Eddie
I'll have my stepson there tonight (the 12 year old kid from the 2009 PJ Perth show) . Well done for taking your son, he's in for a real treat
He sure is... I am so excited for him (and me!!) I remember Eddie talking about a young kid at the PJ concert in 09... very cool!! Enjoy the show!!
The show was awesome. I think Melbourne 1 still had a better set list but this is a close second. Crowd was amazing the whole night and the atmosphere was truely pumping all night. It was also the first time I really saw the no filming or picture taking policy being policed. I saw a few people have there images deleted or camera's confiscated only to be returned at the end of the night.
For me the highlights were Porch and the second encore which the crowd was on there feet for the entire time. Someone who I meet earlier in the night told me that they had just been speaking with the tour manager and that Ed was in a bit of an angry mood as he had been surfing all day and was dumped wave after wave. You could sense this in the early songs but he remained extremely focused and nailed an amazing set list.
The best thing is I get to do this all again for one last time on this tour when I go again tonight!
Absolutely brilliant, mesmerising, totally encapsulating, surreal, wonderful, awesome, perfect.
2 hours, 29 tunes. 2 encores.
Eddie was in good voice, rested, relaxed, funny, topical, appreciative, and in good spirits.
A wonderful show.
Can't wait for tonight!
Back to my tree :-)
Wow.. front row? Do you have a low 10 club number? Maybe they were going by seniority last night...
Have a great time tonight and I hope everyone gives Ed a great send off.
their was about 5 front row 10c last night
leaves me VERY optomistic for tonight
i havent heard anything worse then 12 rows from back so far...
i loved my seats last night
i was surrounded by amazing people who wanted to sing as much as i did
Yup front row, the last two seats in the row, so we would have been on Stone's side if it were a PJ gig. The tickets where completely random, my 10 club number is 446 xxx. A few other members that I asked had tickets in good rows as well, I haven't heard of anyone up in the lounge section, in fact everyone who I asked had double letter rows so all within the front of the theatre.
Wow. Maybe they allocated the first 10 rows for 10 club people last night.
Haha
Bring on tonight!
Ed was amazing, I hung on his every word. Sure do appreciate the little stories.
Golden State -was just beautiful as was Betterman.
Loved Porch and Rockin in the free world!
The man is truly gifted. An inspiration. Im speechless...
Thank you Ed.
Amazing gig, best i've ever seen, just a great vibe and an awesome crowd.
Loved when Ed introduced Wishlist and said this song is off the "give way" album, then went on to talk about how he read in yesterday's paper that perth had the worst drivers and made a couple jokes about merging.
True gentleman he is, handed a pick to the wheelchair bound fella in the front row. Awesome.
Rockin in the free world cranked. So stoked to see him play Unthough Known!
Just WOW, fingers crossed we get a bootleg!
Im sure Ed will be down this week to watch his buddies in the masters, crossing the fingers I bump into him!
Good one Elisha. You are the only person I know from the Eastern States who is going to be there tonight. Have a great time.
Ed' seemed in good spirits, a little croaky for the first couple of songs until he warmed up but in good voice overall.
Have to comment on the back drops for the stage, amazing, a really great idea and they gave the stage a fantastic look, for The End when the lights on stage dipped, it was as good as it gets.
Stand out songs for me (apart from The End which was my No.1) were the 2 songs you wouldn't have thought would work as a solo acoustic, Porch and Rocking in The Free World.
I think the crowd helped with them.
Plenty of Merch at the stalls right up until the end of the night.
Security on the doors was a bit dodge, posters up saying that bags would be allowed but checked and that anyone caught taking pictures would have them deleted, only to find as we were about to enter that NO BAGS were allowed at all. So, off to the cloak room we went.
thanks Ed' and everyone involved...Maybei misheard, but did Ed' say at the end "see you all next year?"
also, did i miss something, what was with the lab coats, and the guy with the big head who closed the curtain?
Have to agree, the backdrops were amazing, just perfect and made the stage all the better.
the little gimp dude who closed the curtains........ god knows, but it was funny!
lets hope PJ tour next year. they've just compiled 25 new songs, and I believe this month will start the cull to make it 12 for the new album next year. fingers croseed they tour it here!
They had 10th row last nite, I'll hopefully have front row 10c tonite
Highlight last night was the explosion of energy and emotion when Eddie busted into Porch
I have never seen or felt anything like that WOW
Rockin in the free world was also crazy :shock:
tonight, well no expectations, but amazing possibilities await over the horizon

Music Review: Eddie Vedder

Eddie Vedder
Thursday, March 31
Riverside Theatre
As good a band as they are, a big part of Pearl Jam's incredible success in the live arena has always been the undeniable charm of Eddie Vedder and Thursday night offered the chance for fans to immerse themselves in the sensitive side of the magnetic front man.
Hitting a sparsely adorned stage to a rousing standing reception, the 46-year-old quickly showed he is just as captivating delicately plucking an acoustic as when belting out a soaring alt-rock anthem.
A cover of Tom Waits' Picture in a Frame kicked off things with the first of many covers ranging from Bob Dylan to humorous drinking songs.
Vedder's solo work on the Into the Wild soundtrack also got a predictable yet welcome airing, and showed songs like Setting Forth and Guaranteed are much better suited to a live setting than on record.
Fans also got a golden chance to hear Pearl Jam songs which, for some reason, usually get passed over during the band's gigs, with Off He Goes and Sometimes from 1996's, criminally under-appreciated, No Code drawing particular appreciative responses.
But perhaps the highlight was how refreshed the classic Pearl Jam material sounded.
Though those expecting the hits would have been mostly disappointed, particularly the idiot continually yelling for Hunger Strike at a solo show despite it being a duet, signature cuts like Better Man and Porch were so reinvigorated by the stripped down arrangements as to almost feel as new and enriching as they did before you'd heard them thousands of times.
As one has come to expect, Vedder's banter onstage was almost as golden as the tunes.
Whether it was explaining the distinctive characteristics of a ukulele ("Less strings than a guitar, more than a kite") or commenting on WA drivers' lack of merging skills, his wry observations and genuine warmth onstage make him one of the most likeable performers your likely to see.
Combined with the odd, quickly-forgiven muffed intro or lyric, the whole evening had the feel of a chilled party in a lounge room, except one where that friend who always pulls out the guitar actually has musical talent.
Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town provided the evening's best sing-along, before a second encore of Neil Young's Rocking in the Free World and Vedder's own Hard Sun finished a joyous evening as it begun two hours earlier: with the crowd on its feet and smiles of thanks on everyone's faces, including from the stage.
