    Got this voice message from my friend at the show last night. his review is transcribed below. ;)


    "Hey what's up. In the show, thought i'd give you a little personal update. Ironicly the worst show of the tour. Got into it with the usher for standin' up. I mean, the crowd just can't stand up during the encore. The crowd in Portland, the whole crowd was up during the entire encore. Now i got some old hag minding the seats "you gotta sit down here", all this bullshit, weakest crowd ever,weakest, I mean it's unbelievable. I kinda walked out on the show and then i came back in just to see how maybe there will be something ...play something cool, but oh dude, you didn't miss anything tonight. Portland, ALLTIME. great energy crowd dude like i said last night, from encore till end and before...entire venue out of their seats. tonight, you can't even stand up. "oh you gotta sit down" I was like dude, what the fuck are you talking about, it's retarted. they're trying to whislte and cheer. didn't miss anything. the setlist, nothing to write home about. hopefully tomorrow will be a magical night but tonight, unless pearl jam comes out and plays some shit, um, it was over hyped. wish you were in Portland, tonight, like i said, i am in the lobby, second encore going on right now, but it, it's lackluster dude. I couldn't even stand up. but when i did stand up, usher came over and they were like trying to kick me out for standing up. I was like "dude, what the fuck are you talking about, it's the fucking encore?" It was retarted. and um, that wasn't even disrespectful, im not even fucked up and shit. It was, unfortunatley you know, um, Seattle didn't represent. hotter chicks in Seattle than Portland, but, the Portland crowd was fucking awesome and so was the setlist and this is like honestly, worse than San Diego, than the hangover show.
    Still good, but it was getting really good, but the ushers and the crowd completely didnt go there. i didn't get it. ANyways, just giving you the update. I didn't get you a poster, as excited as Seattle was they sold out posters before i even walked in. and then they're like, this lame, it's unbelievable. I mean, Seatles TYT, I'm not baggin' it, but i'm like dude, you really didn't bring it. it's like, it's the weakest crowd"


    It must have been bad enough having to hear that message the first time let alone transcribing it for everyone else to read. I feel a little dumber than I did five minutes ago...

    They also did it at the Wiltern in LA and it was great. Took the crowd about 30 seconds to finally settle down but once they did there wasn't a peep. Did not do it in Santa Barbara but not surprised since it was an outdoor show. I thought I read they did it at either SD or Long Beach but not sure.

    Eddie did "shush" the crowd before he got started.

    Wow, your friend sounds like a self-entitled meathead (as well as a bit sexist and agist). Actually, in Portland, most the crowd sat through the show, including much of the encore, which was perfect for the spirit of a solo tour that attempts to create a giant campfire setting. I say cheers to the ushers for making your bud think of the people behind him. And did he really repeatedly say "retarded"? Wow. Someone polish up the Darwin Award.

    Stunning show! Eddie was in such fine voice, the acoustics and sound in the venue were first class, and there was hardly a single sound from the audience to be heard during nearly every song. It was intense - I think people were just really drawn in and listening acutely, and appreciating this rare chance to hear Eddie sing his songs in such an intimate and direct way. There seemed to be far more silence during songs than is typical for an Eddie show. At times it was like being amongst one of the 'pin drop' audiences you used to get in the 60s and 70s, and which seem rarer and rarer these days. I was surprised at this, and it was this which made it such a great experience for me. To get to hear such breathtaking singing so clearly.... as clearly as a studio rendition, and yet being amongst such an appreciative crowd who rose to their feet after so many songs. It was special. At times I just had my eyes closed and really found myself getting sucked into the music. Especially during the Into the Wild songs I was getting close to my limits - those are powerful songs. Long Nights was probably the highlight for me.

    Also, this trip was a bit of a personal triumph for me - I have good friends in Seattle, and have been here many times since 1989 - and I have always dreamed of having a Pearl Jam experience in the city, but this dream has been thwarted on several occasions, by major difficulties in my life, and stuff happening. Having tickets and not being able to make it across the water to enjoy them has been really tough. So this year, making it to Seattle, enjoying the town, as ever, and getting to see Eddie sing, without any great dramas or tragedies has been brilliant. OK, so I never got to see Pearl Jam play the town, but I feel after last night I have finally laid this to rest, and can relax about the dream!

    Glen Hansard was brilliant, and Astral Weeks is one of my all time favourite songs - so that was a great opening to the show, that had the hairs on the back of my neck standing up.

    All in all, superb music - being able to soak up every twist and turn of the voice from a singer who is in such a league of excellence right now that it is very hard to think of an artist who can compare - to what Eddie can do with his voice. Great stuff!

    Mr. Voicemail, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

    FWIW the show was amazing, the crowd was amazing (except the drunk guy in the 3rd tier, right side that would randomly yell crap nobody could understand.. maybe that was your friend?).

    Can't wait for tonight :)

    Decent show last night I personally dont think it was as good as Portland. Eddie seemed as if he were rushing the songs through during, portlands had some great stories. And for some reason Seattle crowds can be uptight at times. I imagine he was tired we met him after the portland show he didnt leave until after 1am. Hopeing tonight he also mixes up the set list got a little worried when they started with the first few same songs. See u all at the preparty.

    The poster last night was awesome so bright and love the pikes place theme

    Typical Portland. Always trying to prove they are not Seattle little brother. Joking aside. I hear the Portland show was great.......but you cannot beat Benaroya.

    Got shut out on a poster because a drunk guy wanted to buy out the stand. "Can I see a medium hoodie? OK can I see a small now? Can I see the large? Can I see the small t shirt? Can I see the medium? Can I see the Large? Do you have Zippos? Are there any other styles? Can I see that other shirt over there? Can I see the medium? Can I see the large now? Can I see the medium again?" (repeat for every item followed by. Can I get 4 posters). He got the last 4. The poster was sick. Really wanted one. If you have an extra please PM me.

    Falling Slowly was epic. Completely unplugged they didnt have to ask the crowd to "quiet down". Repeat the "pin drop" sentiment. Unreal.

    So, uh, he couldn't stand up I gather? At a symphony hall....

    I'm calling poster envy, period. Yes, the crowd ... sat. And then simply exploded after each and every song. For Eddie AND Glen! Porch and hard sun were both full house on their feet while he was standing in the lobby, house lights fully on and the crowd blowing the roof off! I was second tier in a back corner box, full view of the entire venue, and the balcony and floor were erupting each and every song. Deafening!

    Pissed off at missing one hella' iconic poster, or mayhaps too much of that awesome Seatlle coffee?

    I think I was behind that same guy in the line - infuriating! He was looking at different shirts for literally ten minutes before he made up his mind. I was lucky enough to get a poster out in the lobby - is going to hang on my wall as a great reminder of this year's Seattle trip. It's a bloody great poster!

    I loved the fact that the crowd were so attentive during every bit of the music, and then went crazy during the interludes. That's how a concert should be. I really got carried into the music, I didn't miss a thing, and got completely caught up in it. It's a rare treat to be part of such a great crowd atmosphere, yet be able to get so intensely into the live music in a way that can only do at home by putting on your best headphones and shutting your eyes. It felt a rare treat for a music lover like me - Eddie made quite a few appreciative comments about the crowd and the reception.

    I thought the Backspacer songs came off really well - Unthought Known with a more punchy, different rhythm to the voice was great - I've not heard it like that before. The Uke seemed to have more edge to it too, and the guitar sound for Dead Man was soooo ominous. Lots of highlights. There could have been some songs on the set that would have really taken me into some deeper places - Brain Damage, Off He Goes - and I had hoped we would get some surprise cover or something special, but overall the uninterrupted intensity of the sound was what affected me most about this show.

    This was our last show of the tour. We were lucky enough to see SB and both Oakland shows. Benaroya Hall was as amazing as I had heard it would be. Each show was special and different. I think what struck me last night was how spectacular Arc sounded in that venue. Just amazing. The whole show was great, Eddie was so appreciative of the crowd and seemed really happy to be home.

    After seeing Glen multiple times over the last week, I am in love with his music. Can't wait for an opportunity to see him again soon. The duets that he and Eddie did were highlights every night.

    It's been a great week of shows and I'm going to miss having to go back to real life tomorrow. For those of you lucky enough to go to the last show tonight, enjoy!!!! It should be EPIC. :)

    Great show, great crowd, great artists.

    Eddie was in a great mood to be back home and it was nice to see him at the end of a tour versus the beginning. Very relaxed vibe from him and by now he knows what's working with the setlist and what isn't. And Glen's voice at Benaroya Hall is beyond words so I won't even try. Also, a lot of people say that Morgan Freeman has the voice of God, but after tonight I'm pretty sure the voice of God is in Chris Worswick's cello.

    The audience was very respectful, loud applauses and ovations when they were due and the kept quiet when it was time to keep quiet. If anyone tried to yell out random crap they were quick to get shooshed by everyone else. I haven't heard a room so silent in between lyrics of Sleepless Nights since Sigur Ros. Very few attention whores except for the big bearded guy in the third tier. If listening to the artist while being considerate to those around you and giving the artist their due welcome is being uptight, then Seattle is biggest bunch of uptight assholes I've ever come across.

    Part of me wants to come across a spare ticket and go again tonight, another part of me wants to call it good and not run the chance of being let down when comparing it to last night.
