    Yea it has personal meaning to me and has always been one of my favorite PJ songs. Heck, I completely forgot about the song's significance w/the Bay Area until Krzzzymary reminded me of it!

    Anyway, me and few others were lucky(maybe crazy is a better word to describe it) enough to meet EV at the end of night two's show around 2:30am. He didn't sign anything (except one I believe) but took the time to greet and speak with everyone there for a few moments...a really cool evening for sure.

    Peace,

    that is sweet that you met Ed outside... he seems much friendlier this tour... seems to be enjoying meeting the fans a lot more... I am envious :)

    Makeup concert San Jose November 4, 1995 almost a year before No Code is released and 5 months after the Golden Gate Park Neil Jam show.

    After “I Got Shit”

    Ed says “So these are all the people I could have seen if I lifted my head up back in San Francisco? My gut aches, just thinking about it”

    “Red Mosquito” is played for the second time ever.

    ~

    If you check the “Eyeball” Polaroid lyric card that came with No Code look above the lyrics it's written “San Francisco June 1995”

    Only mystery to this song is "what really bit Ed?"


    Love Red Mosquito and cool for you to meet Ed.

    Thank you for requesting that song!!! I was really hoping that they'd play it and a huge smile came on my face when they did.

    I can honestly say I never have liked Red Mosquito, UNTIL I heard it live at Alpine Valley in 1998. Then I fell in love with Mike. What a great song!!!
