    This may have been answered and I just missed it, but what's the deal with Tim Robbins? I thought someone said in a post that he was the reason (according to Ed) that PJ wasn't in the studio? Sorry, just confused :D

    Tim was the reason he did Dead Man and that's how he met Sean Penn and then the ITW soundtrack came about. And so the solo tour was all Tim's fault.

    Something along the lines of Tim Robbins convinced him to do a solo tour. Sort of like how Tim convinced him to write Dead Man Walking and (i think) maybe a few other songs. So nothing was meant in a bad way or anything.

    Did anyone notice the guy who arrived wearing a green wrestling mask, sitting center section on the aisle, about row J or so? Been going to concerts for 25 years and never saw that before. If I wasn't worried about starting a fight, or getting thrown out, My friend and I wanted to walk over and un-mask him.
    HA...as I was walking out I saw him in the lobby. WTF? I didn't realize he wore that for the whole show. HA. I have to admit that was one of the best behaved crowds at a concert I ever saw. It seemed like the entire place was on the edge of their seats and when people tried to yell other people shushed them and it got super quiet. Actually being able to hear ad understand every word Eddie said was such a treat and the tone during the YL story was very spooky in a way. All I have to say is WOW, and I am not trying to be the...THIS WAS THE BEST SHOW EVER guy that you seem to get after every PJ / EV show but in all seriousness it was phenomenal.
    Hey, you wouldn't hire a clown to fix a leak in the jon so why do you let these hooligans tear down the biz? YEEAAHHH. I don't care if he is Mr. Notorious BIG, can he croon?

    i have a question..i've heard that the mole in the audience yells out "Who are you voting for?" and EV goes into the political spiel..Do you think the Ledbetter guy was a mole to get eddie to talk about war/sad story. Dont get me wrong the story was great but it seemed a little stage to me and question seemed set up..let me know if anyone feels that way

    I definitly don't think he was a mole/plant. Before this point of the show, Ed said he walked around the theater and went all the way up to the top top balcony. He said that it was really high up and that he shouldn't play any sad songs, cause someone might jump. Ed was kinda joking around when he said this, but he seemed like he wanted to keep this show "happy".

    I agree, he just seemed to be in a very happy mood and wanted everyone to have a good time.

    He said that when Tim asked him to write something for Dead Man Walking, he hadn't written a song in a long time (6 months?). But he wrote Dead Man within 20 minutes, so that now Pearl Jam's manager has Tim Robbins on speed dial for whenever Ed hasn't written a song in a while.

    I think he then said how Tim introduced him to Sean Penn and this is why this tour is happening and why they're not recording in the studio.

    Very cool, thanks. Picture 37 is my fav. He has that look of gratitude and awe at the same time. Very cool.

    Well I guess I have to defend myself. I finally got to go to a show with my wife and we had 3rd tier tickets. My wife and I were sitting having a glass of wine and this gentlemen from the venue came up to us and said that he gets to play Santa Claus. He asked for our tickets and gave us 1st row dead center. I wanted to thank Eddie and the gentlemen for the tickets.

    I was the oaf with the white hat on selected for the Q & A. Well, it isn't everyday that you are sitting at a show and out of nowhere the artist says "The gentlemen in the white hat, do you have a question for me". I was a little blind-sides to say the least. All I could come up with was to tell him that my wife and I really enjoy MOTH and to thank him for the music.

    If I had the moment again, I would probably ask him how his life and views have changed since becoming a father since my wife and I are relatively new parents as well.

    I apologize for the delay of my response........BTW, the request(even though I new there was no chance he would play it) was In My Tree

    It was a great night......one my wife and I will not forgot!!!

    My husband and I were so curious to know what you requested. If Eddie had just called on me like that I think my mind would've went blank too. Congrats on the great seats!!!

    No offense, but the screamers are REALLY annoying at these shows. It's suppossed to be a quiet acoustic show, but some people are dim and only think about themselves. Save the yelling for the rock show, which happens 100 times more often then the Eddie shows, so you have plenty of opportunities to beg and plead for songs.

    The screaming was relatively tolerable last night, though. Great show.

    There was some horrible screaming girl next to us and I thought she was gonna ruin the show for me because she wouldn't stop for the first few songs, but after everyone kept yelling at her to "shut the f*** up" she stopped, thank God.
