"the waiting drove me mad..."
Enjoy tonight LA!
Sir Mike McCready is....THE MASTER!!! WAHHH!!!
EVENFLOW PSYCHOS H.N.I.C~FEEL THE FLOW!!!
"Pearl Jam fans are obsessed, they'd see the boys in HELL if tickets were sold."-CROJAM95
It takes balls to put out a UKE album!
The most-stunning-song-of-the-evening award, however, has to go to "Arc." I was absolutely floored by what Eddie managed to do with the song live. The intensity of his voice as he hit the high part of the chant was breathtaking. And I believe that everyone in the crowd felt that this was something special -- even those who aren't familiar with the significance of the song.
A few other notes:
- could we have asked for better weather? It was about 95 degrees in L.A. yesterday, with a slight breeze that made it feel like a perfect summer day. Really, really beautiful. A great set-up to a perfect night of music.
- Eddie is a funny guy and completely won over the crowd with his sense of humor. Cases in point:
a) although not listed in the setlist, Eddie paused after "I'm Open" to play/sing snippets of Worship Songs he had heard on the television that morning (one was called "God is in Control" and the other was "Limit Yourself"). This was hilarious as all hell and had the crowd in stitches! He then tied this in to White House and John McCain before playing a kick-ass version of "Masters of War."
b) after talking about Cameron Crowe being in the house, Eddie started talking about Cameron hooking he and Jeff up with money for small things during the filming of "Singles" (he said Jeff got $500-$800 for lending his shorts and leggings to the film, and that Eddie himself got the same amount for giving Matt Dillon guitar lessons). He then went in to a HILARIOUS impersonation of Matt Dillon that was spot on and had us all cracking up.
c) After talking about the last time he was here (for the benefit with Beck, Mike Ness, etc.), he mentioned that Chris Rock was also at the show and went in to another HILARIOUS impersonation of him. In his best Chris Rock voice he said something along the lines of... "What am I doing here with all these white people? It's Martin Luther King day. I should be out fucking a white woman!"
- I didn't see Cameron Crowe, but I did spot John Lithgow in the Loge section.
- If that fucker who wouldn't stop shouting "Footsteps" is back for Night 2, somebody better break that fuckers mouth until he shuts up. He was the only negative spot in an otherwise perfect evening.
- Got a couple posters about 30 minutes after the doors opened. Zippos were sold out by then, though...gonna have to get there earlier today!
- Sat far away in Mezzanine for night 1...have 10Club tickets for tonight. I'm salivating at the possibilities for tonight.
See some of you there!

Around the Bend, masters of war, guaranteed, driftin
The whole show was perfect. Very tempting to go tonight.
Met Phil Jackson by the mens room...he was EXTREMELY cool, greeting everyone who passed by.
The show was amazing. It's weird, Ed's voice almost entrances you....you can't help but sit there and just say 'Wow'.
And No More was pretty awesome.
"Sometimes I think I'd be better off dead. No, wait, not me, you." -Deep Toughts, Jack Handy
as my buddy said after it was primal....felt it right down to the bone
My favorite songs from the show: 2 way tie, Arc, MOTH...
Man of the Hour was the most AMAZING version of all time!
Liam Finn was awesome, buy I don't want to watch anyone before an Ed solo show, I just want Ed to come out... Laim Finn was great though, I would love to see a full show, i hope he gets out and tours some time!
Oh, I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED a ticket for tonight's LA show!
Please PM me if you know of anything!
Thanks
Completely agree. I was bummed about having mezz seats but once I got there it didn't even matter. The show was spectacular. Liam did some really cool stuff and Eddie's voice was amazing. As far as I'm concerned he doesn't need any special guests to make the show any better. I can't wait for tonight with 10C seats!
he was in santa barbara too....sad part is guy thinks ed gives a shit
It just seems weird/surprising that a fan who travels all over California - proving that he must be a big fan- would be lacking so much self-awareness.
Great rundown ... one small correction ... I don't think there was ACTUALLY a praise song called "Limit Yourself." Ed made that one up, saying this is what those songs SHOULD be called. The words were about like, "don't think independently" and "be like everybody else" and stuff ... not a real praise song.
I also like Ed's line about God and skydiving.
"Who packed your parachute?"
"God."
"Well, could you check?"
for the least they could possibly do
So glad I got to hear Masters of War and Soon Forget!! ARC was amaaaaazing!!! And Hard Sun was sooooooooo good!
Thanks for the great seats 10C--3rd row, on the "2nd Floor" level. Only bad thing was the ass-hat that set next to me right before Ed came on, using his freaking poster as a megaphone and yelling DIRTY FRANK. I told him he's not gonna play that but he didn't care. When he started waving his rolled up poster back & forth I had to put my arm out and stop him from doing that in front of me. Grrrr....oh well----tried to ignore him as best I could but it was so ANNOYING!!
Still had fun
met some pit people (nfanel, SOLAT13, cutback (he DOES exist!!
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
I was bothered by the behavior of some of the 10C member in my area
(sec 3 row K). Two "trucker hat/pants hanging way down/boxers showing types" were drunk as all hell, and felt the need to yell out "Eddie" during every song, and one guy wouldn't stop saying "This show is tight". They were the epitomy of human trash who lacked courtesy or self control. I understand that it was a rock show, etc, but these fellas were real idiots.
Security warned them to behave, but as soon as the security guard left, it seemed like everyone in their row, as well as the row behind them, were looking for a brawl. Voices were raised, and it looked like puches would be thrown. A few of them eventually left, but the 2 drunk guys kept acting obnoxious.
My girlfriend was getting more and more bothered, especially after I told them to shut the fuck up, so instead of getting them thrown out, I went to security, who were nice enough to move us and set up chairs for us in the 1st row right behind the pit.
Great show once we got sorted out!
those shitheads where behind me when liam started.....lucky for me they moved....sorry they moved next to you :(
The other sort of negative, where I was sitting (loge) nobody was singing or really seemed into the music - that's one of the best parts of any concert, when everybody around you is totally pumped up - maybe if I'd been near Phil Jackson...
Can't wait for tonight.
section c row f
Very cool seats!
Did you go to the Opus gathering?
i didn't....my buddy had to work late so we got there and saw the line and decided to get in it....i could hear auction was going on so it would have been difficult to meet everyone....i think senrock is gonna kick my ass
