It tickles me that my ASL interpreter was mentioned in the setlist! That was Carie. She did an awesome job tonight!
Funny joking around between her and Ed regarding the "fuck" word. Asked her what it looked like and she flipped with both middle fingers to him and he just chuckled.
I was just telling my friends what a typical hearie Ed was - because that's what hearing people do - what does this bad word look like in sign language??! LOL.
Carie was asked by Ed to help out passing out cups before Crazy Mary started. The guard offered and literally tried to push me up on the stage too because I couldn't see what she was saying and I said no no, I'm fine here... I'll just wait till she comes back!! She came back just in time for him to stop insisting!
It was a great show! I had a great time with my hubby Bobby - if you saw a guy with a bow tie and a hat... that was him. lol. It was great seeing old friends too! Nick and others did a great job at Wishlist party too. Didn't win anything with my raffle tickets, oh well! Was hoping to get ITW vinyl.
Thanks for everything - 10c for the ADA seats, the access people at Fox (thanks Kathryn!) and both Carie and Bobby! Great show! I felt it went by way too fast.... wish it had gone on longer!
JA: Why do I get the Ticketmaster question?
EV: It's your band.

Great show . Ten Club seating was balcony.. Might be great seats but you feel like your not part of the show !
Opening act was great . But it defiantly was not the Ryman !
The talk of the show was the poster !!
ALOT OF DRUNKS ! AND WHY DO GIRLS GO TO SHOWS JUST TO TALK ABOUT HOW HOTT ED IS :?:
i thought the seats BLEW and when the balcony starting bouncing . have to admit i was scared !! lol
Tonight's show ranks right up there!!! First time seeing Eddie solo and he didn't disappoint......highlights definitely were LMLOTD, Wishlist and the duet with Glen on "Falling Slowly"......why the hell does PJ wait 5 years to play Detroit when you get a fan reaction like tonight?! And special shout out to Dirty Tom and his helpers for a job well done with the pre-party...it was great being surrounded by fellow PJ geeks waiting in anticipation for our raffle ticket to be called

Thanks so much for taking the time to read the letter I gave you before the show about my grandfather's passing and asking you to play MotH for him. It was incredible. I had family in attendance, making it all the more special.
Wow! What an Unforgettable Day!
From partying with Pearl Jam fans at the Tiger's game, the pre-party at Cheli's (didn't win anything),
the incredible concert, to the after party at Cheli's – I will never forget this day & night.
Highlights: Needle & The Damage Done, Elderly Woman (sing-along), Immortality, Society (w/Hansard), Crazy Mary, Porch (everyone dancing), Hard Sun.
also the Eddie Vedder Detroit Red Wings Chris Chelios poster!!!
and I am a witness for the girl who received a hug & autograph from Eddie after she ran down the street after him. You made my day!
(p.s.) to everyone who sang 'Alive' at the after-party it was as powerful as a real PJ concert!

Great performance and setlist tonight. The crowd was great for the most part but there just so many drunk assholes there tonight that were extremely distracting. It seemed like every song there were 50-100 people staggering up the aisles on the floor and couldn't find their seats when they came back.
This was another amazing show by Mr. V....when Ed told the techs to shut down all the audio ....that was by far the most ethereal moment ....just his baritone in that beautiful hall.....just would have been better if people wouldv'e shut the hell up for a minute to LISTEN...thank you for a beautiful night! (Hope you and C hit some home runs over at the park tonight!!)...btw CLEVELAND still ROCKS..(in baseball and MUSIC ) lol!! ly
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Special thanks to the complete assholes next to me that didnt stop talking (and not about the show), during the whole thing. Why are people such assholes????? Seriously???? :evil:
Otherwise, Ed didnt disappoint. Highlights for me- Immortality, Long Nights, Let my love open the door.
Shoot were you in my row? I had the same deal.
The biggest irritation besides the typical "Wooooooooooooo!" that would be shouted out in the middle of a great moment. Was how the venue sounded like a high school cafeteria during Glen's set. That was extremely disrespectful. The man put on a great set.

Yes the guy four seats down from me towards the end of that song stood up both hands in the air letting out the longest continuous "Wooooooo" I have ever heard.

That's all I could hear. There were some cases between the "whoooooo", full conversations happening and dozens of people walking and trying to find their row, I could barely see or hear the show. We had one asshole yelling patriot every 5 minutes, another one who yelled "play something that doesn't suck" during the Uke songs and kept yelling play Jeremy. Another guy was so drunk that his friend had to carry him out after Glen's set and they didn't come back. Another guy was having a full argument with his girlfriend, yelling and everything and they left about 10 songs in. It was just an odd crowd overall - I think serving alcohol through basically the entire show doesn't help when people don't know when to cut themselves off.

OMG was that an amazing night!! Had an odd thing happen....was waiting in line for beer looked down and found a MIke McCready guitar pick!!!! WTH?!?!?! How did it get there?
I have never seen "soon forget" live....I did tonight! Made me VERY happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome set list and great night!!!!!!!!!!!

Mix the nicest weather in Michigan so far this summer with a Tigers afternoon home game across the street from the show, and you get a hammered audience. The noise from the back was a distraction on the quieter songs, and people basically talked the whole way through Hansard's set--he's fucking fantastic and a major draw on his own, so that upset me a bit, especially from a PJ crowd that is usually so good to opening acts.
That said, EV surprised me with how solid his solo show is--his range on Needle, using the kick drum (he watching the Avett Bros. lately ), and the pump organ piece were all fantastic, unexpected benefits. Only bummer is having to leave before it was over--EV was the first time my wife and I had gone out since our baby, Edie, was born, and the 'sitter texted that Edie was going mental. So I learned that there is one thing that can make me leave a PJ event.
Any word on if these shows will be offered as bootlegs? I'd love to hear the rest of the encore.

Actually if anyone has any great pictures of the marquee out from I'd appreciate it if you'd PM. I wouldn't mind receiving a few shots. I have a plan for them for my basement.

Amazing show. truly amazing. and Ed was sick too, but as usual, he gave it his all and then some. Someone used the analogy of watching Picasso paint. Weird, I used the same analogy when I was talking about the show afterward.
Also, the person who mentioned the Sleepless Nights duet without the mics was right. That's missing from the setlist. It was one of the most tender moments ever. Too bad the chick to my left thought she was in on the gig too and was belting out the words. I had to shut her down. It's a small, intimate moment, people. Not a huge venue with the full band.
oh Ed! what big vinyl you have!
Won't let the light escape from me
Won't let the darkness swallow me

Row JJ section 201 last night with fan club tickets.
I was in row AA, cant remember the section #, but it wasnt all the way stage left, but the section right after that on the end. Im all for having fun, singing along, etc, but those idiots ruined quite a few songs for me. At one point the dude was talking to the girl with his back to the stage. And i wouldnt give a shit if i couldnt have heard them talking whil EV is doing a freaking Dylan song!
Sleepless nights- raw, the purity. the reach. Its amazing how different it sounds... MotH, falling slowly, needle, far behind, immortality, heard just breathe plenty of times but never solo in a tiny theater- very powerful. Forever young....
I am without words. Glen is mind-blowing. Great opener!
Thank you Ed. Thank you for playing Detroit, thank you for an amazing first experience. Wish I could have seen hard sun... bet it was killer. I won't be putting anything negative here about my experience at the show- had nothing to do with Ed.
The pre-party was great, Congrats to Dirty Tom and help for putting together a great time!
Actually if anyone has any great pictures of the marquee out from I'd appreciate it if you'd PM. I wouldn't mind receiving a few shots. I have a plan for them for my basement.
I do. But don't know how to post them. Pm me and add me on fb. I got a few inside too.
As for the show, amazing. Brought tears of joy to this guy. I was praying for immortality and got it. The people around me were not all that bad. I have zero complaints about this show.
I donated a poster for the pre party and ended up winning a better one!! And I never win shit. Wish I was going to Chicago. Good times peeps.
Just, not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I said, I dont want it.
I just need it.
To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.
We had one asshole yelling patriot every 5 minutes, another one who yelled "play something that doesn't suck" during the Uke songs and kept yelling play Jeremy.
The "play something the doesn't suck" guy was two rows behind me, what an asshat! he also was yelling for crazy mary like 6 songs into Ed's set, the only good thing was.... I believe he was escorted out long before Ed decided to play Crazy Mary.... ahhhh Karma!
Overall my first EV solo show and I loved it! and the poster was the icing on the cake for me, I huge Wings fan, So now the hard decision is to frame and put it in my wing themed room or the rest of house that has other concert posters in it.
Actually if anyone has any great pictures of the marquee out from I'd appreciate it if you'd PM. I wouldn't mind receiving a few shots. I have a plan for them for my basement.
Here's a pair I took with my phone...they turned out alright I think.
Just want to add my .02....
First solo show for me. Crowd was both better and worse then i thought it would be, going off all the reviews of other crowds for the Ed shows. Overall, i expected more random yelling, tho there was a guy couple rows back from me who screamed "Thumbing My Way!!!!" pretty constantly between songs. Also the guy directly behind me had the world's loudest whistle, definitely hurt my ears, but he kept it for appropriate times at least. Good people around me. There were plenty of drunken WOOOOO's to be heard throughout tho, and i wish everyone could have reigned it in during Sleepless Nights, when Ed and Glen turned the mics off. Could have been a very special moment. Instead, Glen gave Ed a post song pat on the arm, sort of like "Ah well, mate, you tried..."
The music was great. Ed definitely has his voice in top form. I didn't really think about til i got home, but he played almost none of the songs i really wanted to hear (long Road, Betterman lullaby which i have no idea how that sounds, Parting Ways) but was still blown away by Long Nights, Forever Young, Crazy Mary, and was surprised and most excited by Let My Love...I think they should dust off the whole band version soon...
the Arc thing, he started, didn't get a good pass on the first loop...I think he was going to try again, but the crowd really started yelling and clapping, took him right out. Guy near me yelled out twice at the top of his lungs "Did you fuck it up!!??" Horrible.
It was a great show overall, so glad i was there. Sometimes tho, i think this band gets some fans that just don't get it at all. My brother, who sat with me, echoed this sentiment to me also. I know people want to dance and scream along, and get very drunk, but why not show some respect to the guy who makes all this possible? Clapping and singing along and trying to raise the energy level is awesome, but if you spend 3/4 of the time screaming/taking phone pics/talking loudly with your friend, you probably missed the chance to truly be a part of the moment. Was just odd to see the 2 different kinds of PJ fans: the inebriated post-frat crowd, and the ones who were living inside the music.
