Sept. 30, 2012
Set List
01. Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town
02. Corduroy
03. Do The Evolution
04. Got Some
Ed says "this is about the coziest place we have played since I can remember. Nice place you got here Jeff Ament." He goes on to say that it is "great to be literally surrounded by friends and family and senators. We get asked to do these a lot but it is hard to find one with a politician we can get behind. Because of certain legalities we can't have him on the stage but there he is in 201. Hello Jon. He at least gets to be at his party." Ed thanks Jon for doing a great job and dedicates the next song to him.
05. Given To Fly
06. Amongst The Waves
07. Severed Hand
08. Unthought Known
09. Not For You
10. State Of Love And Trust
11. Jeremy
(Ed starts saying that the next song they are going to play was written by Jeff and it doesn't get played much but there is a line at the end of the song that is part of reason why the are playing it tonight. He then discusses the candidate on the other side that said something about the 47% of people that are living off the government. "He makes it seem that those people are never gonna do anything and just collect food stamps all their life. I don't think those people want to go into a grocery store and pay with food stamps. It isn't a point of pride for them. A guy who thinks like that doesn't represent or relate to half of the country. Probably more like 1%…." I don't think this other candidate, and you know who he is has ever experienced the terror of walking the tight rope and just getting by. And the last line of this song 'Ghost' is "Bring It On Because I'm No Victim")
12. Ghost
13. Daughter/Blitzkrieg Bop-(Ramones) [changes line to 'Hey Ho-Let's Vote']
(Boom gets up on his riser after 'Daughter' and the crowd starts shouting "Booooooooommmm". Ed says let me explain to Jon and his wife Sharla, they aren't booing. Ladies and gentleman Mr. Boom Gasper" Ed then compliments the University and wishes he was smart enough to go to college because it looks like a great place to attend. He also talks about waking up not feeling well and took advantage of the sauna at the school. He talks about how some people are just way too comfortable and how one person in particular seemed extremely comfortable "he was siting on a perfectly good towel and everything was just…out. I started to worry that he was gonna ask me to autograph it and then there would be the awkward moment when I would just be able to initialize it. But maybe like a good party trick I would end up being able to fit "don't forget to vote' on it.)
14. Know Your Rights-(Jones, Strummer)
15. Comatose
16. Why Go
Encore Break 1
(Ed apologizes for taking longer to come back from the encore break. We were trying to figure what to play next and you guys are so loud I got a terrible headache. I had to take about eight aspirin. I am all good now so make all the noise you want. In order to keep everything equal we are gonna play a song for those in the back)
17. Last Kiss-(Cochran)
(I'm not saying this to placate but it is nice to see not only the American flag but the Montana flag as well. This one is for Jeff's friends who are now our friends. It's called "Off He Goes")
{the band plays the next few songs seated on chairs}
18. Off He Goes
19. Low Light
(Ed asks, "you guys okay if we stay in 'campfire' mode for just a little bit?")
20. Man Of The Hour
21. Nothingman
{The band stands up for the next song}
22. Better Man/Save It For Later-(Charley, Cox, Morton, Steele, Wakeling) [during the "Save It" tag Ed says "We'll dedicate this one to Jon Tester, the better man."]
Encore Break 2
(Jeff comes on stage and says, "I want to thank Jon and Sharla and everybody working so hard for them and I want to thank the band for this and I don't think I have ever done this but I want to thank my mom and dad. I love you and thanks so much." Ed says "I want to thank Jeff's parents too because without him we wouldn't be here.")
23. Wasted Reprise
24. Life Wasted
(Ed says, "just one more thing, can we talk about the vote? can we talk about the vote? Jon talks about two things, there is the money and there is the shoe leather. This election is one of two elections that will determine what happens in the house and whether we can get anything done. So get out and support a great senator")
25. Fortunate Son-(John Fogerty)
26. Alive
(during 'Alive' at one point Ed goes to the upstage area and waves at the people there and bashes a few times on the cocktail drum kit)
(Ed says, "this is gonna be a hell of bootleg and wouldn't be complete with Mark Arm and Steve Turner from Mudhoney coming up here and playing with us". When it appears that Mark is going to sing on Ed's mic Ed says "Hey, he's gotta have his own mic I want him to be able to talk to tomorrow". This is reference to how sick Ed is and him not wanting to get Mark sick by using the same mic. Mark ends up singing on Stone's mic)
27. Kick Out The Jams-(Davis, Kramer, Smith, Thompson, Tyner) {with Mark Arm and Steve Turner of Mudhoney}
28. Rockin' In The Free World-(Young)
{during the break down Ed says "Look at you, look at you…chicken skin brudda, chicken skin..) Chicken skin is reference to getting "goosebumps" because of an emotional reaction.}
(Ed says, "Thank you Montana, Thank you from the band and the crew, and they know it's true when I say this is the best American crowd we have played for since I don't know when." He thanks Jon Tester and encourages the audience to go out and vote.)
29. Indifference
(Ed addresses a young person in the audience and jokes "you and me are gonna go down and get you a voter ID…No, but someday you are going to be able to go out and vote."

I thank everyone in Missoula for making this trip a good and memorable one. The fans were very cool and easy to talk to and get along with. There were so many songs I had not heard live before in person, so it was very enjoyable to have an opportunity to hear those songs. Ironically, there were two females who were sitting next to me and they left during Life Wasted, not sure why though.
Hopefully during the next US tour, I'll see some and meet more of you all. Until next time.

Awesome show and an AWESOME venue. Missoula has been treating us quite nicely!
Mud Honey rocked it; really impressed!
Mike was incredible. This being my first show, i didn't realize how cool it is to watch him up close! I got the eye contact and point from him.
So, some were saying they wanted more rarities, and I get that, but I didn't give a shit - it's my first show! Everything they played was my first time! Crowd was GREAT. Ed said it was the best crowd they've had in the US for he didn't know how long, and he said he got goosebumps.
You could tell Ed was feeling sick, but he actually sounded really great until Indifference, when he started losing his voice. Show would have been longer, but I think his cold was going downhill fast (I know how you feel Ed, being so sick myself right now, but actually I felt way BETTER once PJ started; my cold went away totally for the show! Like magic! Anyway, they had friends and family (including Jeff's parents and other family members of the band's) in the VIP section, so I'm sure they were sorry ed couldn't go longer.
The big talk about the naked dude in the university gym's sauna today (ed was trying to beat the cold), and about signing his dick was pretty funny.
Interesting point: Jon Tester took off halfway through the show!!!!
So it being my first time, I was thrilled with every song (except last kiss - blurrp), and I had a FANTASTIC TIME WITH A FANTASTIC CROWD! I count myself so lucky to have have been so close for my first show.
This was a GREAT show!!!
It was pretty fucking hot in that place though. Soaked in sweat.
Hope you feel better soon Ed!
The meet-and-greet couldn't have gone any smoother. The band members (everyone minus Ed) were initially not going to take photographs with the guests or even sign autographs but as soon as they began to work the room and mingle it was instantly apparent that the fans were all very respectful and friendly and laid back which clearly made the band members feel safe, for lack of a better word, because they were more than happy to both sign and pose. I couldn't help but tease Jeff about having more of his picks produced because they were incredibly hard for a collector to obtain, and he got a big laugh out of that. Stone and Matt were both gracious enough to sign my Benaroya Hall LP cover, thereby achieving my goal to have the entire band sign it.
Oh, and free food & drinks.
I can't say enough great things about the city of Missoula, MT and its' inhabitants. From the moment the plane landed and that unmistakable smokey haze/air filled my lungs I was treated to some of the friendliest people I've ever met. Never hassled once, just nothing but friendly attitudes and laid-back easygoing folks. Unreal. The venue is as tiny as they say, yet as cozy as Ed touched on early on in the set. It wasn't so much the songs played tonight as it was the band's energy and feeding off the crowd's energy. Mike took his insanity to an entirely new level tonight, and in 16+ years of touring behind them I've never seen Stone as happy and animated. Ed's banter about the sauna and random penis was funny, and personal highlights included Comatose, Ghost, DTE, Amongst The Waves, and Fortunate Son.
Maybe my hearing's starting to go after my 55th PJ show tonight, but I could swear there were moments where I couldn't hear Ed's vocals and/or the guitars overwhelmed his vocal channel. Come to think of it there were also moments I couldn't hear Mike's guitar as his channel seemed to be turned down. Regardless, a great night had by all. The entire crowd was respectful and pleasant to one another, and the show was worth the effort to attend.

-my dad after hearing Not for You for the first time on SNL .
The show was way, way bigger than the setlist. It was one of those nights where the energy was phenomenal and constantly growing off itself.
Cool! When was Low Light played in the set?
Found it: After "Off He Goes" : https://twitter.com/thesky_iscrape
TwoFeetThick.com
"Pearl Jam for the Impassioned Fan"
dimitrispearljam - is this you standing w me up in sec 214 row 20? so happpy they played ghost!
Im the girl who drove 2<500 miles from NYC in 2 days to catch show, moving to Portland, OR!
I think you were from Seattle didnt get yor name but really enjoyed the show with you!! vicki
steer us towards the clear here
I know it's already been sung
but it can't be said enough
ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE
Lots of waiting in line with great fun people...GA breeds a bit of tension, but tried to keep everything in perspective...
MUDHONEY
like the jams and crude creativity
Small Town...expected but still great
Jeremy...never think i want to hear Jeremy, but when they played it it's awesome
Off He Goes seated and mellow was a highlight (EV tossed me a pick...sweeeet)
Low Light (seated and chill version; just what I needed to survive GA) GRRRRRRREAT
Ghost (we need moooorrrre Jeff stuff on new album please) WOW
Severed Hand (cool 'trippy' light show) AWESOME
Kick Up the Jams...Mark was beating the crap out of Mike...literally...my head was about to explode
leaving stuff out, but still need to digest all that happend
MIKE was a complete FREEEEEAAAAK...chanelling the innerpunk...he was bouncing off the stage like a trampoline (as usual) ;diving all over the place(unusual)...I think he has taken the FTM...total PUNK (haircut to heart)
VERY NICE to see Jeff get lots of attention & recognition for all he does for PJ
Fantastic
Great show, well worth 16 hours of driving in 2 days.
This. Definitely the highlight of the show. Also loved Fortunate Son.
