Eddie Vedder
Bass Concert Hall
Austin Tx
Nov. 11, 2012
Show 2

Intro song:Tuolumne (played by Ed live while the curtain comes up)



Set List
01. Tuolumne (played by Ed live. Starts with the curtain down, halfway through the song curtain raises revealing Ed playing guitar)
02. Small Town
03. Can’t Keep
04. Sleeping By Myself
05. Without You

(Ed asks the house lights be brought up.  He says, “Maybe because it is a college but not only are you a good looking group but you look smart as well.”  He talks about the football game on Saturday and how Coach Royal would be proud of that first play.”  He shows the audience that the stool he is sitting on is a Texas Longhorns stool.  He has been using it for years and for all of his solo tours, “So Austin, you are always on my mind....or under my ass, however you want to think about it.”  Ed notes that the last few ukulele songs were sad but the next couple are going to be happy just to balance it out.)

06. Your True (during the instrumental outro Ed says this is the part where the couple in the song ride off into the sunset)
07. Light Today
08. Trouble-(Yusuf Islam)
09. Wishlist

(Ed talks about how working with Tim Robbin’s on “Dead Man Walking” lead to meeting Sean Penn, who tried to get Ed to act in a film.  Ed declined the acting and eventually Sean asked him to record a song for “I Am Sam”.  That lead to writing “Into The Wild” which finally gave Ed the impetus to do solo tours.)

10. You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away-(Lennon, McCartney)

(A person in the crowd is screaming random nonsense.  Ed ask the person if they are all right and if their wife brought their medication.  Ed notes that the crowd the night before got a little out of hand and while it doesn’t bother him much he feels a responsibility to the others in the audience that might be bothered by it so he is going to try and settle down some of the shouting.  He then tells the story about the time he  climbed some scaffolding on the Capitol building and got all the way to the top.

11. Far Behind
12. Setting Forth
13. Guaranteed

(Ed asks the crowd if they know Howard Zinn?  They do and Ed goes on to say my friend Douglas Brinkley, a great writer and historian is here tonight and it is a real pleasure to play in front of him tonight)



(Ed notes that the sing language interpreters are not here tonight.  He misses them and says they were great.  He had a whole list of words he wanted wanted to get them to act out.  He explains to the audience members that weren’t here Friday what they were doing.  He spells out  the word he used repeatedly at the previous show that got so much attention and that the interpreters spelled and mimed Ed mimes the gesture himself while telling the story.  “Again, it’s a compliment, it’s not a bad thing....”)

14. Rise

(Eddie invites out Glen Hansard and notes, “you were right, this is a good crowd”.  “This song was originally written for the film “Body Of War” about Tomas Young.  I have been thinking about him a lot today.  (Today is Veterans’ Day)

15. Long Nights

(Some guy in the audience shouts something at Ed.  Eddie asks him to repeat himself, when he still can’t make it out he says, “we talked about this before, take the cock out of your mouth and say it again.”  The guy says he wants a beer and a joint.  Ed says well, I am sure you can get a beer up there and probably find whatever else you need.  I would love to help you out but everybody else would have to wait for about ten minutes while I try to get up there...”)

16. Better Man

(Ed says, “Now I feel kinda bad, do we have a song called ‘beer and joint’?  If not we should totally write one.  We could do it on this instrument right here.”  He pulls out his Gibson electric Ukulele.  He demonstrates how it sounds acoustically and how it sounds through his guitar amps. He then plays..)

17. Loud Uke-(new song)  Same as the song played in El Paso [called Les Paul Uke on that set list].  Ed adds a lyric “All I need is a beer and a joint” a reference to the guy in the audience that Ed has been teasing.)

18. Fourth Of July-(Dave Alvin)
19. Porch

Encore Break 1

(Ed asks for a person named Dennis to come down.  Dennis brought Ed a typewriter. It has a USMC stamp on it. Dennis included a note that says the typewriter belonged to Dennis’ dad who passed away a few years ago.  Ed thanks him and says it means the world to him.  “That this was given to me on Veteran’s Day isn’t lost on me.”  Ed talks about his friends that were in the military or are currently in the military. He goes on to talk about how he is sometimes accused of being anti-soldier because he is against the wars we are in.  He says it is exactly the opposite.  “It is because I care about the soldiers that I am anti-war. I am pro soldier and I care about them.”  He also talks about now that we are not raising money for the presidential campaign we can go back to raising money for various charities that need help like wounded warriors or Sean Penn’s group in Haiti.  Let’s look out for our folks here (in the military). It is a travesty that they aren’t taken of.)

20. Masters Of War-(Dylan)

(Ed says two of his favorite Texans are here in Austin.  One is Keith “Zonk” Moreland here in the audience.  He says t”he other Texan is Willie Nelson.” Willie covered my song “Just Breathe’ and if Willie was here I would tell the guy in the back to talk to Willie,  he could set him up)

21. Just Breathe (after the song Ed plays a little of the “Willie” version)

(Ed explains the origin of the wings that sit behind him.  He talks about losing Dennis Flemion and how sudden and tragic it was and still is.  He is very happy to be able introduce Dennis’ brother and bandmate Jimmy Flemion.  Jimmy comes out and is clearly emotional.  He thanks Ed for all the nice things he has done for them and The Frogs. Jimmy dedicates the next few songs to Dennis.)

22. The Longing Goes Away w/ Jimmy Flemion-(The Frogs)

(Ed says “Those of you wanting to get into the music business should listen to this song.  I want to warn you that you probably don’t need a major record label anymore.  This song was written when you did.)

23. Starboy w/ Jimmy Flemion-(The Frogs)
24. Society w/ Glen Hansard-(Hannan)
25. Sleepless Nights-(busking style-no mics or PA)
26. Falling Slowly w/ Glen Hansard-(Hansard, Irglová)

(Ed thanks Glen and Jimmy for coming out and singing with him. He asks the audience to sing with him as well)

27. Unthought Known
28. Arc

Encore Break 2

29. Hard Sun w/ Glen Hansard and Jimmy Flemion-(Peterson)

(Ed talks a little bit about the show originally was to be in May and the injury he received.  He thanks the audience for coming out and says that the other big problem with the show being rescheduled for today meant he missed his wife’s birthday so even though she had a good day he wants to play one song for her.)

30. Picture In A Frame-(Brennan, Waits)

    Another great Ed solo show. The emotional moments with Jimmy were spellbinding. And yes, I can attest that I had one of the biggest douchebags of all time sitting directly behind me. But Bass Hall sounded phenomenal. Hats off to Kevin McKenzie's front of house mix, and Ed and Glen and guests for a great night.

    This tour is fast becoming one of his best, brilliant setlists... Will be seeing Glen on his own in December so small but ace consolation :D

  • Awesome show and poster last night! I soo wish we could get bootlegs of his tour.

    On a side note, i gotta say i did find it hypocritical for Ed to speak bad about all the fundraising that went on with the presidential election when he worked a fundraiser for Obama.

    How were the 10c seats for the Austin shows?

    Also, how long have the shows been going? Estimate?
    40+ shows, it is never enough!

    I felt the crowd was much better behaved than on Friday, at least from my seat. There might have been a few morons on Sunday, but at least they all seemed to come from the back of the hall. On Friday, they seemed to be everywhere.

    Fantastic show on Sunday, but I preferred the show/setlist from Friday, even with the yahoos in the crowd. Just personal preference with songs like Parting Ways, Long Road, Sometimes and the Friday covers. Also, I think the first show you see can inevitably seem better because the songs he repeats each night are fresh to your senses.

    Looking at what seems to be in his repertoire, the only song I wish he had not skipped was Immortality. So nothing to complain about over 2 nights (apart from the crowd).

    I had orchestra Row J, about 5 seats in from the right side edge. They were pretty good seats, apart from the crowd near me. Some people who picked their tickets up at the same time as me ended up with Row S and Row BB (also near the edge), so pretty far back.

    The two Austin shows were about 2.5 hours long, maybe a touch shorter. I didn't pay close attention to the finish time, but it was roughly 9pm till 11.30pm.

    I thought the crowd was better behaved last night but liked the setlist a little better Friday night. The lady next to me took at least 50 pictures. I wish they would make the camera announcement right before Ed goes on instead of 10 minutes before Glen, when the place is half full.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

  • Amazing set list, amazing show. Thanks Ed.
    The "campfire" version of better man made the song Ed's again. Not that I've ever minded him strumming the first chord and then letting the audience sing the song, but I'd rather hear him. Brilliant.

  • I say Austin 2 was the better show of the two, but only by a hair. Both were downright excellent.

    Mine were first balcony, Row J. A little dissapointing given the quality of seats that dropped last week. But the policy is as advertised and the show was fantastic. A great experience (and no Yahoos in the 1st balcony at least :) )

    Glen hit the stage right around 7:45, Eddie around (if my memory serves me correctly) about 8:10 or 8:15ish.
    Makes much more sense....to live... in the present tense...

    What an incredible show! I met so many great people, including Eddie! :D
    drivingrl: "Will I ever get to meet Gwen Stefani?"
    kevinbeetle: "Yes. When her career washes up and her and Gavin move to Galveston, you will meet her at Hot Topic shopping for a Japanese cheerleader outfit.

    Next!"
  • Not sure if Dennis (the gentleman that gave Ed the typewriter) reads the boards, but if you do, I wanted to tll you I saw one Ed's techs carrying the typewriter out to Ed's bus after the show! I was the guy that was hanging around the side of the buliding when you gave Jesse the typewriter. Congrats on getting called up on stage....that was incredible!

    Great shows all around!

  • The Longing Goes Away was the highlight of this show for me. Never heard the song before, but what an emotional performance of an amazing song.
