I was hoping it was a pint of campari ala steve zissou, but it looked like some sort of delicious fruit juice.

He was not joking.
one does not need distraction when he's up there playing all alone.
one mistake and you're fucked.
I thought the crowd improved as the show went along.
Still I would rate the moron-factor as medium.
Oh, and what about the fricking 'las vegas applause' ?? You know, the one people do when they recognise the song he's singing.
Can't you really wait the end of the song ?
Las Vegas applause ratio : 90%
Come on kids you can do better.

Someone probably already said this...but - don't take it all so seriously. Jeez. he was not 'fucked' by any of his mistakes...roll with it, man.. Your post kinda sounds like you've never been to a live show before...I will maintain that he was joking about the "complete silence", and I won't try to convince you otherwise. Just take things in stride...

I loved the stickers and buttons that came in a pack. I thought it was even cute that Ed had his own buttons and stickers on the inside of his suitcase..

I took lots of pre-party pics and will post them tomorrow..

I jumped the gun on the pre-party total....I must have heard someone else talking about buying a car or a boat or something...But I was fading as I had not had a chance to eat and was sustaining myself on sangria and half a margarita (as someone put something in my drink when I had to leave it unattended, so I couldn't finish it - no big deal)....

As restlesssoul said - $1550 raised for Surfrider Vancouver, who were EXTREMELY grateful for the experience and the funds...they couldn't say thank you enough!

The stickers were cool...I'm gonna put one on the back of my uke and put an ed pin next to my 27-year-old Who pin on my jacket...

Two very memorable days and nights, and like vedderfan 10 said, the shows were just a bonus. meeting great like minded people who all share a common bond through the music was so great.

cant wait to meet more of you in DC and New York in june. Rock on.

I am so glad I was there. it was like, temple of Ed.

South of Seattle

Just got into the office on a slow Friday from being in a Car from 10:30 am to 8:15 pm :eek:

Amazing show to say the least. 10c seats dead center row L with Soundrgrunger. Restlesssoul & Born.Mine.Die to the right. GR8Dane behind me as well as Einatshaul I believe. Nice little pit section if you ask me.

No matter what people are saying, this was a great show. Sure people were yelling, sure people were breaking rules. But last I checked we weren't seeing the Boston Pops Orchestra. It's a concert and if there are only about 10 jack-asses in the crowd out of almost 2,000, I'd say it was a success.

Ed started out a little nervous as one might expect. Soon he warmed up and the show started rolling. It was great listening to the little stories and hearing fuck-ups. Live Music isn't meant to be perfect and flawless, it should be raw and engaging.

I was definitely a happy camper and enjoyed Vancouver and every single one of you I met out there!

Song highlights: Hard Sun, Porch, Trouble, Walking the Cow, & Around the Bend all sounded Amazing tonight.

Chupacabras

The chills in my spine are what shot me out of my seat when he said he wasn't going to play and then proceeded to play porch. One of many epic moments that night

I had a fantastic time. I took my seven year old daughter with me to the concert. She has seen Pearl Jam before with me, and was very excited to see Eddie. We had a great time and before Porch one of the crew came over to us and handed us the setlist. Definitely made the night special and and will go in the frame next to the tickets and the poster.

tonights show was amazing and pure.

I am still elated by the phenomenal performance by the living legend Eddie Vedder. His voice filled the theater as it encapsulated our ears and souls. Powerful words, verses and lyrical genius, on display for us all to hear, see and feel. Amazement, contentment and pure joy filled the room as the man; the living icon of our generation spoke and sang, the words of his language to us. His blunders cheered and his accomplishments appraised, by all his adoring fan. I know he is the byzantine that meets our minds in thin air.

sassyvanilla

The talent exuded from the audience, as each note was played. The showmanship of this solo man on display, was more than most artist; these days, dream of being.

He sang old tunes, new tunes and a few penned by others, each given their moment to shine. He played 3 sets and all were abundant.

Yes! I was M center, I was the one jumping in my seat all the time and finally stood up for Porch, I couldn't take the sitting at that point! inspired by UrbenHiker, who rocked out first (Sorry, row N people, oh Jason and Joe!)
