He says the next song is not one of the sad songs but a happy one. “I gave one back to the uke, and I had also met a wonderful girl.”)

08. Light Today
(Ed tells the story about staying up late in one beautiful, clear night with a bright full moon. All of his friends and family were asleep but he wanted to enjoy the evening. He took his portable recorder and walked to the beach while recording the sound of the waves that are used during the song “Light Today”. He talks about how beautiful and peaceful the evening was and great the recording came out but he goes on to say that if “you listen to the whole tape you can hear these great waves and I am walking back to the house and I took a different path that was mostly sticker bushes so towards the end of the you can hear me saying ‘fuck, ow, fuck fuck ow fuck’ as I walk back to the house.”)
09. Millworker (Taylor)
(Ed talks about good kids coming from good parents and parents in general. He mentions that he never got me meet his dad but when hanging out in a jazz club in Mesa he met a guy playing with the band who was a friend of Ed’s father. Ed goes on to say that he never got to play music for his dad but he does get to play music for his dad’s best friend. He then asks the man (Danny Jones?) to stand up. He says Danny is a great dad as well.)
10. Just Breathe (Ed asks the audience if they have heard the Willie Nelson version and proceeds to sing the song the way Willie does. Ed says “I probably know Willie’s version better than my own by now)
(Ed talks about rafting with Sean Penn after shooting the film “Into The Wild”. Brian is in the audience and Ed invites him up to look at the campfire he has on stage. Brian stays on stage while the next songs are played)
11. Far Behind
12. Guaranteed
13. Long Nights w/ Glen Hansard

14. Rise (Brian leaves the stage)
15. Better Man (hi string guitar version)

Night 3 of my tour, see u in new Mexico
Glen just killed it as the opener.
Better show than the SD show I saw last year.
I really expected Ed to get political and he didn't say much of anything. After all, AZ is pretty fn stupid!
Thanks Es. Had fun!

"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Great show, though! I wish I could have been in row 5 like the 2003 PJ show.
6/7/2003 Phoenix, AZ
11/19/2013 Phoenix, AZ
Personal highlights were EW, Master of War (fantastic), and Porch.
Also, my 10c tickets were 34th row (thankful for tickets, but hoping for better). Wife talked one of the employees into a upgrade, 14th row, dead center. I was right at eye level. Unbelievable. Looking forward to seeing the whole band hopefully soon.
Stockholm 6/28/14, Oslo 6/28/14, Phoenix11/19/13, Phoenix 11/4/12 EV, San Diego 7/5/11 EV, Hawaii 12/10/06 w/U2, Phoenix 6/7/03 (front row!), Phoenix 9/13/95,
I know for the Austin show night 2 tickets had been on sale for a couple of days, and I decided to see what they had left. Found Row 2 in the orchestra pit, just left of the stage!! :shock:
As far as the show goes... Glen Hansard was spectacular! Eddie was in a great mood and sounded ridiculously good.... though it would have been cool to see his facial expressions, haha.
Looking forward to the next show!!
Not...good.
Other than that, it was great.
I saw EV at The Wiltern on his first solo tour (07 or 08?), and 3 times last year in Southern California. This show seemed much more light-hearted and joyous. The Elderly Woman/Brain Damage/Sometimes trifecta was a great way to open the show. Ed seemed to be in a great mood, and it was fun to hear all the stories he told.
"Millworker" and "Open All Night" both tell amazing stories, and it was great to hear Ed play his version of both songs.
The Brian fella referred to in the orignal post is Brian Dierker, who is a river adventure guide who played the character "Rainey" in "Into The Wild". We were sitting next to him and his wife, and both were very cordial...you could tell they were happy to be there. We had no idea who he was, but when Eddie gave him a shout-out, he stood up and waved to the crowd. Eddie then had him come on stage to sit in front of a campfire during the next few songs. EV has always been good about paying homage to his musical heroes, but I like it better when he speaks of regular folk with whom he has crossed paths.
According to Ed's story, after ITW was finished, Ed, Sean Penn and Brian went on some river adventure. Ed played some of the songs for them while they were camping. Hence, the campfire during the ITW songs.
Not to harp on the policy, but it states: "We reserve the best seats in the house for fan club tickets, starting from the first rows on the floor and extending back. We also reserve the side sections closest to the stage when necessary. All Ten Club tickets are for reserved seating unless otherwise announced."
I'm not expecting front row, but I would expect that the 10C members would be in front of the "general public" seating. I'm going to have to weigh my options on my renewal since I could have got front row on the day of the show.

For EV shows, the policy, which is clearly stated when 10C ticket sales are announced, is different. The EV 10C seats are scattered throughout the venue.
Eddie Vedder tickets have ALWAYS been random and always stated as such.

Thanks to you and all the others that made the pre-party so fun! Meeting so many fellow EV/PJ fans was great. I'll try to get my pics from the pre-party up on the AZ PJ Fans Facebook page later today. No word on how much we raised for Camp Sunrise, but I should have that figure soon.
As for the show...I was worried about the quality of Ed's performance when I heard that the XM broadcast wasn't happening. After experiencing the 2003 Phoenix show (following Vegas) where Ed was "sick," I was hoping Vegas didn't cost us again. The show last night was great. We may have lost 20 min of show (compared to the length of the Vegas shows) but we got a very fun performance. I don't know if I've ever heard him do a better version of Masters of War. We will also all be talking about "going to the ammo can" forever. Oh...thanks to all of the people who didn't realize that a second encore is standard. I was in row 12 and was able to get right behind the VIP section for the last two songs. Those people leaving made it that much easier to rush the front.

I've never complained about ten club seats before, but last night was a disappointment. Sorry!
Row 32, sec 5 with non fans all around me! I wouldn't have minded if I was surrounded by some fellow fans, but these ppl were lame!! But I made the best of it and screw you lame ppl around me, one girl in front of me kept giving me a look, you know the turn around look!! LOL...
I loved the show and to be honest all the seats in the place are pretty good. When ppl started streaming out before the end, I got right down to the front for the last 3 songs.
Ed was supposedly not feeling well, we saw him going into the sound check and were told he was sick and couldn't come over to personally greet the folks waiting to say hi, he waved and then kind of held his stomach. I think that is why he was a bit light on banter, and it may have been the first show ever where he didn't have a bottle of wine with him on stage.
For me, Masters of War, Unthought Known, Arc, highlights. Glen was awesome!
Thanks Ed, hope your feeling better, see you back this way soon!
Did anyone stick around and get to meet Ed after the show? I saw the buses and a small group when we were leaving.
As someone else mentioned there was a ridiculous amount of people who were wandering around in the middle of songs - I found that really distracting and annoying
Other than that, the highlights were masters of war, light years and society. Glen was a great opener - I loved how full the theatre was for his set! He's got an amazing voice and I love his interactive style.
Thanks Naujackan for organizing the pre-party - met some great people.
Stuck around after the concert - Eddie waved but didn't come over to greet fans. Was alright - dude put on a great show and there were rumours he wasn't well.
Overall, well worth the trip from Vancouver!!

There seemed to be quite a delay between Arc and the final encore, and a substantial number of fans left. I was worried myself we weren't going to get the traditional Hard Sun closing , but all's well that ends well.
Happy to have witnessed my first EV solo show, now please bring it to Denver!
"The Who is my life. Pearl Jam is my retirement"
He is much better mixing the PJ set lists then his own :?
LIFE WASTED, BLOOD on the PORCH, LAST KISS is a WISHLIST DEEP DOWN NOTHING AS IT SEEMS WHY GO COME BACK ALIVE SPIN THE BLACK CIRCLE and SMILE.
I just found out the EV Phoenix poster glows in the dark!
Had no idea!!
Fn awesome!
Yeah, but I don't think these shows were intended to have people following the tour show to show.

The article was edited. When I read it this morning it didn't have the last bit about the 2nd encore. I think a certain reporter was one of the unknowing masses who left after Arc :fp:
