Chicago and Milwaukee have strength to their rumors, so what's four hours south for a show in St. Louis?

Hopefully I see something about Eddie at the legendary Massey Hall in Toronto, that would be so cool even if I was stuck behind a pole.

I was at San Diego 1, and it was really more like the setting for a play or something...beautiful theatre, ushers taking you to your seats, people talking quietly to each other before the show. The only difference was that the main event was Ed f*cking Vedder! And it may sound kind of weird that no one stands, but it's actually really cool, you're not there to jump around and get crazy, it's more like having Ed in your living room singing songs, you just sit there and give him your undivided attention and respect.

Arc was fucking phenomenal. He had the attention of EVERY SINGLE PERSON in those theaters.

I totally agree. For one musician to captivate an entire audience like that- completely amazing. No one moved.

As Ed said in Santa Barbara, starting off the set with two lullabies might be risky, "But I believe a real man should know how to take it slow...." So yeah, you plop down in your seats pretty fast, that's the mood he's setting, just hanging out in his living room with him while he plays some soft soulful tunes...

Covered; folding chairs in Santa Cruz, theater seats most everywhere else. some stood for No More and on, and *cough* everyone was rocking for McCready at BerkII, hehehe. Seem to recall SC was standing for all the encores?

Amazing, amazing shows -- know I'll try and come east and steal some seats from ya'll!!!

Agreed. Apparently some people who checked out Liam Finn when he played Toronto at El Mocambo got a chance to speak with him after his show and he mentioned being back shortly opening for Eddie at Massey Hall... then realized he shouldn't have said that yet. Hopefully that was correct

Vancouver had the most incredibly beautiful intimate theatre. Every seat felt like you were right there with Ed...tickets went fast!

I flew in from toronto for this show, and while the venue was amazing, the fans were just annoying, yelling 'play more pearl jam' every 5 minutes, it would have been nice, more vedder solo pj less into the wild, but it was good none the less, Liam Finn was amazing (not so great studio wise though).

the biggest gripe i have though is that the security was tight as shit until someone told eddie and he told them to cool it, I snapped a single photo and within seconds there were 5 security guards milling around my area looking for a camera, they even yelled at the girl beside me to put her phone away because they thought she was taking the pictures... like screamed at her!

once the guards backed down though and eddie just asked the crowd to be respectful someone yelled 'ya dont ash on the carpet' heh. the smoke make it that much intimate.

In LA, everyone was standing at the beginning, and Ed flat out told everyone to sit down. Everyone was like "Uh, OK. You're the boss."
