First, does anybody know if this concert was released on CD?
I am watching the DVD right now. I am also reading about it.
"An angry man shouted "Eddie Vedder sucks!" from the top row. It was late in the evening. As the words resonated off the high rafters in the Shrine Auditorium and echoed across the stage, there was no doubt that this structurally pleasant and atmospherically intimate venue's acoustics are indeed state-of-the art.
On Sunday night (3/30) at 10:30 PM, as this man's harsh words bounced heavily from wall to wall, it occured to me that his shrill and unfortunate outburst at the end of long, loud and loose hours, and just before Vedder took the stage, was a harrowing testiment to the odd celebration taking place late on Sunday night, and encapsulated what the night stood for symbolically: opposite intensities.
Out he came, in typical Vedder fashion, entering out of the exact opposite end of the stage from which other artists emerged. From the left, I might add, which might have been symbolic of his political leanings.
It was a terse entry, His moves were tight, deliberate, using quick steps. With acoustic guitar in hand (he would play the guitar for each of his songs), he sat down on the floor atop an array of different sized pillows, each a different color. It was an entry that said one of the following:
1) I have been waiting too goddamn long to play; 2) perhaps he heard the outburst "Eddie sucks" and was experiencing a bout of repressed anger; 3) He had not had a beer yet; 4) maybe he should not have decided to do this gig at all; 5) nervous tension that he had to attend the reception afterwards, which would force him to face what his mind naturally repels -- mingling with the artists and special ticket holders (read "the common public") and the potential for stalkers was very real, or 6) he was just being our very own, introspective, brooding ED."

A child's rhyme stuck in my head...
It said "Life is nothing but a dream."
I've spent so many years in question
To find I'd known this all along.

I dont know if it was announced by the 10C I can't remember of if it was news posted on the board about the release by other board members, it was some time back so I don't remember clearly.
