    B and I are big Ben Harper fans also, and fully expected Ben to make an appearance, and we got it to close out the show. It's always funny when Ben's in singing Indifference with Ed, because we all want to sing ever lyric, but we can't hang with Ben's soulfulness, lol. Crowd is loud singing with Ed on his parts, and tentative with Ben's. No doubt's though, the majority of PJ fan's love Ben Harper.

    I'm sure others were more descriptive than I, but I have one HUGE beef with many of my fellow attendee's. The BS ignorant one's that show the band no respect. Ed asked that we turn off the flashes, them allowing us to bring in camera's is a privilige, not a right at their shows, after Ed asked to cut off the flashes, about 85% did, others had me wishing I had Mr Fantastic's ability to stretch, I would have loved to slap each of the remaining flashers up side the head. I mean the band constantly gives so much to the fans, and you can't show a little respect? Well, many more jumped back in the flash bandwagon when the full band came out, and I expected Ed to stop at any moment, but he continued, and I let it go in my head, though I shook my head a few times during the night when it got flash crazy. I have to remember, PJ fans as people are no different than the rest of the country, basically selfish, as am I, each in our own ways.

    Wasn't able to be there (fuck work)...so I'll take this and put it in my shirt pocket right in front of my heart, because from the sounds of it, (I've read every word/thought/review on this thread so far) the night was truly special.

    See you all on Sunday! (NO WORK)

    Great Show. Ran to the restroom during one of the breaks, It was full of some guys in a circle smoking joints. As I walked into the room to take a piss I was in a haze...

    They finished up the j and left, I was left alone, some guy walked in as I was washing my hands and said "It smells like an NFL locker room in here!"

    I thought that was funny.

    still have a huge grin on my face after this one...I usually say it's a "karma thing" that I've been able to be at so many great shows, missed many also, but this one I was straight up lucky to have been at.

    Not that the NFL should be excluded from hitting the blunts but his joke would have been funnier if he said NBA; are you sure he didn't say NBA? LOL

    Hmmm, where to begin. I've been thinking the last few days on how to articulate this experience, and have not had much success. As everyone mentioned, the humanity in the line was fantastic. People buying gatoraid and water for others, holding spots in the line for piss breaks.......fantastic.

    We were not one of the early birds. We arrived in Chicago around 2:00pm, checked into our hotel, ate some lunch, then jumped on the brown line to the Belmont stop. Upon seeing the line, we made our way down to Vaughans Pub and had some brews.

    We made our way to the line around 6:00 and given the size of the venue, we werent to concerned about the wait or where we would sit. As I said before hand, as long as we are in the building were in good shape. That turned out to be VERY true.

    As far as the set went...we didn't know what to expect. I assumed we would hear some rare songs given the nature of the show but..........DAMN! All or None was a fantastic opener, one I was not expecting. That pretty much describes most every song. My wife and I kept looking at each saying, "What the hell are they going to play next?!?!?!" I could go through every song and say the same thing so I'll spare you. Highlights for me: Trouble, Chicago song, All or None, Down, Low Light, Love Reign O'er me, In Hiding, Undone, Hard to imagine, and Indifference and, well, every other song played! See? I still can't sum it up!!!!

    If you were there, you understand what I mean, if not....I hope a boot of this is released in the future. This was, by far, the greatest of the 11 shows I have seen the fellas. It will be hard to ever replicate this type of show.

    and Kudo's to the 10c and vic staff for doing the posters THE RIGHT WAY. available after the show with plenty for everyone. it was good to see all the fans that wanted a poster for personal reasons was able to get one. and it was good to see a strict limit on one per person.

    good job!

    Exactly! I did not buy a poster originally because I didn't want to worry about it during the show. But I bought one after Ed's set when I saw they were doing the ticket thing, and my friend was able to buy one after the show. Perfect! Too bad it isn't possible to do this for the stadium shows. Maybe it is, but I doubt it.

    Hi guys,

    What a great setlist! Down here in Oz, and probably all around, we are wondering if anyone recorded this show? I read through this thread and i saw no mention of this question :)

    Thanks for the lucky bastards who went to the show for the snippets of memories ;)

    Dan.
