    I believe one of the many shout outs after EV mentioned the Ghostbuster's song was "Bustin' makes me feel good!". Maybe it was Sean Penn. :cool:

    An interesting review of the show from the SF Weekly with some pics (including one picture of three audience members).

    Note that the last sentance said that EV won't perform Yellow Ledbetter the following night.

    For someone who supposedly flew up from So Cal for the show (editor's note at the beginning) ... he's not really that knowledgable about Pearl Jam ... he didn't think any PJ songs were played (see the comments below) .... when there were quite a few, just none of the ones a casual fan would recognize I guess.

    Not only Yellow Ledbetter but also All Along the Fucking Watchtower!!!

    That same guy tried taking a picture of Lydia and me with a couple of other poeple I can't think of right now. He took about 3-4 pictures and said none of them were good. The pictures were too dark. I'm not a photo expert, but a flash does help and he had one. If he can't get a simple photograph right, then what chance does he have at getting a review of the PJ show right?!

    My name is Ed.

    Some shmo left a comment at the end of the article saying that "he always felt ripped off by Eddie Vedder because he walked off stage at the Golden Gate Fields show and stopped idolizing him until the Berkeley #1 show". Ok, I gotta say, what a schmuck and not true fan!!! He stated that he was 12yrs old at that show, and I was about the same age and also at that show. He some how missed that facts of that show, how Eddie was sick, had been ill with the flu or stomach virus and had tried to go onstage even though he felt like crap. The man tried!!! And he couldn't do it, he was sick!!! It happens, get over it!!! They even came back and did a make up show in San Jose!!!! This dude just didn't have any faith in Eddie's loyalty to his fans!!! And now it sounds like he's on the band wagon. Boo Justin Smith!!!!!!!

    Don't forget that Red Mosquito was apparently written during this incident.

    However, I don't condone Neil Young playing RITFW twice during the same show. That's VERY bad form.

    He used a looping machine, which recorded and replayed his voice over and over.

    it was for sure. he had the lights turned down which added something even more to it, i felt. it was the most intense version of it to me out of the 3 shows i had attended (santa cruz and the 2 berkeley ones). and just closing my eyes and having those vocals wash over me, sets you in a trance. i still get goosebumps just *thinking* about it. real powerful moment.

    It was ok, not everything that people on here make it out to be. Would have rather heard him sing another song.

    I disagree, but everyone is different. :)

    Can anyone help with a detail from Berkeley 4/07.....

    Between Dead Man Walking and I'm Open Ed had a funny little bit o' banter with the audience. What was Ed responding to when he said "You think this is just music we're doing up here?" ??

    I didn't hear it from my seat in the 6th row. And even listening with the volume turned way up *cough*... I mean remembering back...*cough*...I can't make out what was shouted out. Anyone know?

    I can't figure it out either. I didn't hear it from my 12th row seat.
