Does Present Tense have a chance to be played by Ed at his solo shows?

    I have a feeling the east coast shows are going to look a lot like the west coast ones.

    I was just thinking about this on Saturday. I think it would be killer! Is the song a Vedder exclusive? (Too lazy to look it up)

    No, it was also written by Mike.

    I don't see how Present Tense can be done solo without bass or drums. It wouldn't have the same effect on me if the drums and bass didn't kick in at the end. Not that Eddie couldn't make it sound great but I don't think it's a possibility.

    Love to hear Present Tense but I doubt it.

    Eddie only has a select number of songs that he does solo so i'm assuming that there won't be too much deviation from what he played on the West Coast. Which doesn't bother me at all.

    I'd love to here him bust out that version of Immmortality he did during that soundcheck in Italy...that would be awesome.

    He'll probably do a Neil Young cover or 2 at Massey Hall...hopeing for some suprises there

    Friday's show in Boston will probably set the tone for the tour; so we'll just have to wait in see.

    Either way it will be totally awesome and I'm super geeked for this tour.

    I would love to hear it...have heard it a few times live and it is awesome but I think Ed could handle it alone...but I doubt he will do it.

    How would he do the outro?
    What the fuck is this world?

    My guess would be a no- if he does what he did out here.

    My favorite PJ song, by far! That would be amazing to see Ed belt that out solo. But, alas, I don't think it's in the cards for us.

    We'll have to wait and see....2 more weeks for me!

    I would say the chances are less than zero.

    On the solo tour, he tries to shy away from PJ material. For the most part, he plays only those songs that are traditional "Ed" songs. If he's likely to play it at a pre-set (Drifting, Dead Man, I Am Mine), you're likely to hear it.

    If not, well, you're not.

    The lone exception is "Porch," which seems to be Ed's nod to the "casual fan" at his shows, as it were.

    But if you're going into these shows betting on hearing anything in particular from Pearl Jam, you're probably going to be disappointed.

    why would he play a Pearl Jam song on a solo date?

    I'd say no.

    These shows will look alot like the West coast shows...at least that's my guess.

    I just hope that stuff like Let My Love Open the Door and ...Rock n' Roll Star make it into heavier rotation...and Believe you me!!!
