Last night in Charleston, Glenn sang/played Smile at the end of his cover of Astral Weeks.
Then grabbed his Uke and told everyone to call him Eddie Vedder.

I'm so excited for tomorrow's Cleveland, I am counting down the minutes! I want to leave right now! A good friend of mine saw the DC show last night and said Glen was amazing, per usual! Excited to hit up the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame the next day, too. I've never been there but I assume it will feel just like home for me haha

Just saw Glen last night in MKE and it was seriously an awesome show. I came on here to gush how Glen gave a shout out to Eddie in a story and how also worked in a few lines of Smile into his "Born Again" cover. BUT then I saw the cover of present tense and became way jealous. Awesome rendition! Cheers to Glen and the awesome music he's making!

Last night's concert was awesome. Glen always puts on a great show.

Thank you to the 10C members who helped me track down tickets to the show.

Glad you enjoyed it. I was otherwise occupied so I forgot to turn around and say hi.

Few days late, but the Cleveland show was unreal. I've seen Glen 5 times, and that was the best out of all of them, and one of my favorite shows I've ever been to. The show was at a tiny church--fit about 500 I think--and it was drop-dead gorgeous. Ornate details, beautiful architecture, candles lit--it was jaw dropping. It was a pleasure that on the frigid day we saw him, the line to get in was indoors! Once we realized this, my group planted ourselves on line about an hour and a half before doors, and got seats (it was GA seated, such a wonderful decision) in the 3rd row. Lots of people wearing PJ gear there, which always puts a smile on my face (I was wearing my PJ beanie)! Glen's voice was immaculate as always, and his stories were top notch, as always. Basically you can't go wrong when it comes to one of his shows. He played just over 2 and a half hours all the way through, not a break at all. You could tell he was having a blast and was pleased with the venue and the crowd. Can't say enough about this show, it was incredibly special.

Nice

Through the frames 25 years, they've always been very lucky to work alongside some fantastic photographers and artists. It seemed like a good time to put together a songbook of 30 of our favourite songs, alongside images - many previously unseen - from their whole career. The tabulation pages were designed by Dunk Murphy to specifically reflect glens personal guitar fingering and a companion page accompanying each song has been selected by our very close artistic cohort David Cleary who himself has been around the band since way, way back in the day…..again, we hope you like it as much as we do…..
We've only done a small run of these books and they will be available at the shows in July. If we have any left then we will sell them through the frames web store.
