Unbeliveable Show!
I hope Eddie reads this because I was almost in tears listening to him talk about the dark place and the noose. I can't even imagine how I could have gotten through my own dark places without PJ and Eddie. My favorite saying is "Eddie Vedder makes it all better". So many times Eddie's voice has brought me back.
I was so happy to hear Black and Wishlist. I cried all the way through Black, it hits me on such a deep level.
My husband and I floated all the way home. Please come back to central Florida soon and bring the rest of the band!
WOW, this was my first solo show and it was awesome! wished he would have done Given to Fly, but can't complain too much with songs like Black, Crazy Mary and Hard Sun! dragged my hubby along and even he commented on what an amazing talent Eddie is!! Duh!! we all already knew that!!
I'd like to change your quote to " Pearl Jam makes it all better" I can't go a day without listening!
Can't Thank you enough Eddie!!
I am ashamed to say this was my first Eddie concert. After Eddie's performance this night, I can't believe I waited this long. I have adored this band since high school and I can time my young adult life to what song was playing at the time. Just never got the chance. Eddie if your reading this, I owe you an apology...There was a hand full of people outside your tour bus on the 27th. You looked as if you were going to come over. I did the typical amateur move, and screamed Eddie I love you!! Please play Crazy mary!! Then you took the Turn inside. Being a reserved and soft spoken person, I shocked myself and pissed my off my husband. The thought that you might of come over and I could have told you how I really feel.. Well the only thing that is consoling me is your amazing performance and you did play crazy mary. Knowing this is not often played I have convinced myself you played it for the psycho by the tour bus. What I really wanted to say is you shaped the music and made my generation (X)!! Now as I am nearing 40 with two kids, the husband, house, dog..DULL you made my husband and I feel 18 again, when we listened to all your tapes driving the pacific coast to yosemite. Anyway The concert took our mundane life and left us speechless and mind blown for two days. We are not fanatics or groupies, I just joined this sight today. But we left your concert with a message, I think you said "live life and live it long". We are going to do that and find a way out of monotony.
Flew down from Ohio to use my Ten Club tickets and go to the show with a friend that lives within walking distance of Bob Carr. Glad I did as Eddie always puts on a great show.
At some point during the show Eddie mentioned how life sometimes moves at the "speed of sound." I got very excited at the prospect that he might play it and I restrained myself from yelling out - hoping he might talk a little about the song - but it was all for naught. It's a great song, especially the solo version, and I wish he'd play it more. Maybe next time!
And on a side note, I hope sometime down the line Eddie comes to play Toledo! The Valentine Theatre is beautiful and very intimate. Just a thought...

I agree! - I made the trek down to Orlando from Port Clinton and it was worth it, but I'd love for him to play that close to home. The Valentine Theatre is a pretty spectacular venue!

We flew down from the shores of Lake Michigan with dreams of a great show. My first go round with this guy was PJ20 Alpine Valley, what a night! I was hooked on the live stuff the second Release was over. Why had I waited so long? Anyway, a whole paycheck handed over to some greedy bastard at vivid seats got my two second row, what appeared to be center stage even though it doesn't exist, tickets. When I find my seat number and look up the mic stand is about 8 feet from my face, this is going to be great. Glen Hansard comes out shortly after I get comfortable in the plush velvet seat and he f'ing rocks. At one point he is strumming his guitar so fast that is hand is a blur! After several great songs that induce foot stomping and a broken guitar string he's off. A short time later the man of the hour came out, I pulled up on my seat harness so the attendant knew I was ready for the ride ahead. Every song played was better than the last! He left no stone unturned that night. And Black, are you kidding me? Just when I think it can't get any better,Eddie and Glen are standing at the edge of the stage singing with no mic, just raw talent. For the last of the songs I was lucky enough to be standing at the stage. I wanted to reach out and touch his boot but the fear of ejection kept my hands in the air. After Hard sun he tried to say Goodnight but we wanted more. He relented and gave us a beautiful Dream a little dream. One of those nights that will be tucked away to remember always. Oh yeah, I almost forgot... fuck you leftovers for trying to ruin it for the rest of us!!
Thanks for the great show Eddie!
I had tickets, got into Orlando from Toronto a few weeks earlier, only to get really sick a few days before the show, forcing me to miss the concert :(
I was sooooooo stoked to see Eddie Solo, ah maybe next time
Black was stunning. Crazy Mary through to Hard Sun was perfection.

If anybody had an extra postcard from Orlando they are looking to sell, please let me know. I have an Austin I can swap, or I will buy it.
Thanks
