edited November 2012 in Given To Fly (live)
just a question that i've been wondering for awhile
i LOVE the detail about what ed talks about during his shows
but how does SEA and/or? write all that stuff down...assuming they are listening to it live. OR maybe they arent?

i need to know how all these details are possible!!

is Sea sitting there taking extensive notes during the shows? or?

:-? :-? :crazy: :wtf: :think: :think:


Eddie Vedder
The Pearl Theater
The Palms Casino
Las Vegas, NV
Oct. 31, 2012
Show 1

01. Can’t Keep
02. Sleepless Nights
03. Without You

(Ed thanks the audience for showing up since the shows had to be moved from earlier in the year. Ed says it is great to be “Las Vegas, the entertainment capitol of Nevada.”
Ed has the house lights turned up so he can see what costumes the people in the crowd are wearing. He spots a pair dressed as Axel & Slash of Guns & Roses. He says, ‘“Axel, I just saw you the other day at Bridge School...Hey, don’t you have a show tonight? Ahh I get it, you will just arrive at Midnight....” He introduces the next song by saying it is about trust being the only way to make a relationship last.)


04. You’re True
05. Sometimes
06. Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town
07. Just Breathe

(Ed mentions missing a few lyrics and chords in the previous song. He jokes that he thought it might be a good idea to take acid before a show in Vegas on Halloween but in retrospect he may have been mistaken. He does recommend coming to Las Vegas for one day and then spend several days riding the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon like he did after he finished working on the film “Into The Wild”.)

08. Far Behind
09. No Ceiling
10. Guaranteed
11. Rise

(Ed’s guitar tech brings out the wrong guitar for the next song. He mentions that the guitar is too big. He then says, “I don’t want to call anyone out but he fucks up so rarely that I just want to point out that this was his mistake. Was it your mistake George?” George confirms it was his mistake. Ed says to the audience that this is the first time George has admitted that he made a mistake. Ed then says he wants to play the next song for his friend that passed away earlier this year, Dennis Flemion of the band “The Frogs”. Ed talks about how The Frogs could be odd and abrasive but how they also could write beautiful songs. This devolves into a reference of a Frogs song about someone’s Grandma holding a penis. The discussion devolves further but Ed brings it back around to the next song being a tribute to friends lost unexpectedly.)
12. Man Of The Hour

(Ed talks about friends and family losing homes and business and some almost losing their lives in Hurricane Sandy. Ed says he was fortunate that he didn’t lose anyone. He brings out Boom Gasper of Pearl Jam and they play a Bruce Springsteen song dedicating it to the people affected by the hurricane)

13. My City In Ruins-(Springsteen)

(Ed talks about ex-FEMA chief Michael Brown, the man behind the massive FEMA failure after Hurricane Katrina, having the nerve to criticize President Obama for “acting too quickly” in the wake of Sandy and trying to politicize the tragedy in Benghazi. Ed says he is thankful that he has a job that doesn’t require him to lie.)

14. Masters Of War-(Dylan)
15. Lukin
16. Porch

Encore Break 1

17. You've Got To Hide Your Love Away-(Lennon, McCartney)
18. Unthought Known

(Ed brings out Glen Hansard to sing and play with him. Ed spends some time talking about Proposition 37 and well funded lobbyists that are fighting against it. He asks the Californians in the audience to vote “yes” for Proposition 37)

19. Society w/ Glen Hansard-(Jerry Hannan)

(Ed mentions that Johnny Ramone asked him to go to Las Vegas with him to see The Everly Brothers play. Ed didn’t make it and regrets it now because Johnny is gone and the Everly Brothers don’t play together anymore. He talks about it being an opportunity lost.)

20. Sleepless Nights w/ Glen Hansard-(Boudleaux Bryant, Felice Bryant)
21. Falling Slowly w/ Glen Hansard-(Hansard, Irglová)

(Ed says he wasn’t going to play this song originally but when he landed in Las Vegas he met a young boy named Nicholas who, along with his parents, were coming to see Ed’s show. The parents tried to get Nicholas to notice Ed standing at baggage claim but Ed says he was far more interested in the posters of the glamorous showgirls that are all over the airport. Ed laughs and says he is with Nicholas on this. He plays the next song for Nicholas.)

22. Forever Young-(Dylan)
23. The End
24. Arc

Encore Break 2

(Ed talks about long time Pearl Jam crew member Liz meeting and falling in love with Glen’s friend and guitar tech Simon. He relates how he couldn’t make the wedding which took place at the “Viva Las Vegas” wedding chapel but was able to watch it stream on his computer. He invites Liz and Simon to come out on stage and introduces them to the audience. He then invites the original Elvis impersonator that married them to come out and renew their vows. (Roland August from “Viva Las Vegas”). Elvis gives a nice speech and then remarries Liz and Simon Good. Ed and Elvis then play “Can’t Help Falling In Love”.)


25. Can’t Help Falling In Love w/ Roland ‘Elvis’ August-(George Weiss)
26. Hard Sun -(Peterson)

    either way...Sea does a great job and can't appreciate her enough...

    PS...i'm also pretty sure she's not downing shots b4 the show like so many others do...
    It's pretty helpful when your not shitfaced...(not that there's anything wrong with drinks at a show btw)...LOL
    to each his own!! ;);)

    Maybe the notes are written by someone sitting on the side of the stage?

    I've always wondered this too. I kind of doubt it is Sea the board moderator, probably one of the techs or someone working at the show (soundman or something?) typing as it happens, then maybe Sea just puts it on the board--or the mystery person has Sea's password and does it themselves. :)

    my guess is the same way that people liveblog events do it.

    It is absolutely great to read not only the setlist but all those details to a gig you went to, and even if you didn't go to it, it is still a very good read. Thank you to all involved.
