When was the first time Ed played guitar in Porch with Pearl Jam. I know he usually plays the intro and first verse now and then puts it down.

Thanks,
Jason

    Maybe this show? 2 Ed guitar songs in a row with RVM and Better Man. I didn't go all the way back to the beginnig, but it looks like the live debut of both.

    05/13/93 - Slim's Cafe: San Francisco, CA [110m]
    attendance: 900
    soundcheck: Daughter instrumental, Why Go, Blood instrumental, Rats and Release guitar warm-ups, Animal instrumental, Animal, Dissident
    set: Animal, Go, Even Flow, Blood, Daughter, W.M.A., Dissident, Why Go, Alive, Hard to Imagine, Rearviewmirror, Better Man, Dirty Frank/Rats, Baba O'Riley, Once, Jeremy, (Girls Just Wanna Have Fun)/Porch/(Tearing), Release, Alone, (Dirty Deeds)/Whipping, Leash, Sonic Reducer
    notes: This was a secret show was a benefit to assist in legal support for a member of the Surfrider Foundation. PJ is billed as the "David J. Gunn Band" and most of Vs. (plus 'Better Man' and 'Whipping') premier as they have just completed recording the new album. The band even asks for requests at this show. Ed jokes around: "We're accepting any donations of acid that you may have. Just put it in a little envelope with your name on it ... and if we write a great song while we're on it, we'll put your name in the credits." A guitar riff from Van Halen's 'Eruption' is played between 'Why Go' and 'Alive.' 'Alive' is dedicated to Ed's uncle, Freddy Vedder. The transition from 'Dirty Frank' to 'Rats' is very cool sounding.A bit of AC/DC's 'Dirty Deeds' is played.
  • this is not exactly what you were looking for but the first time ed played porch live on guitar (to my knowledge) was solo and it was on 1/23/93, very neat "set" if you havent heard it

    Whoops, I just completely skipped of the "Porch" part.
