    Yeah... that's what I was wondering...
    Would we have to buy 100 tickets and travel to 100 cities to see Ed in his solos shows?
    Or would the cost be equal... in that we get 100 Ed solo shows for the same price as one Pearl Jam show?
    Because, if I can see 100 Ed solos shows for the price of one Pearl Jam show... I'm going with the 100 Ed solo gigs.

    Well, I agree ... in part because the Ed solo shows were pretty much the same, setlist wise. 100 of them would probably get tedious.

    Now, if you were to ask me at this point in my PJ touring career whether I'd want to see 1 Ed show or 1 full band show ... it would be a tough call.

    .

    Can you imagine the bitching that would ensue on this board about the cost of THAT ticket?

    The thing is, if you look at all ten shows as a whole, he played 46 different songs over 10 shows which is much better than what most artists do while on tour.

    We are just spoiled by the fact that PJ plays such diverse setlists every night.

    I wouldn't go that far...the Ed shows were incredible, IMO.

    At this very moment, if you gave me the choice between an Ed solo tour next summer and a Pearl Jam tour (assuming no new album for either), i'd choose Ed solo.
    Shows: Montreal 98, Barrie 98, Montreal 00, Montreal 03, Montreal 05, Ottawa 05, Toronto 06, Vancouver Night 1 08 (EV), Vancouver Night 2 08 (EV), MSG1 08, MSG2 08, Montreal Night 2 08 (EV), Toronto Night 1 08 (EV), Toronto 09, Hartford 11 (EV), Ottawa 11, Ottawa 16, Ottawa 22.

    Agreed! Finally someone w/ some sense.
    PJ FANS ROCK!!!

    Finally got that "One for the Thumb"!!! Got the "Six Pack". Now we're on a "Stairway to Seven"

    Some words when spoken...can't be taken back.

    Let us not lose sight of the fact that there are MANY bands out there who go out and play the EXACT same setlist every night, regardless of their vast repoitore of material.
    One of my friends felt cheated as described by this statement.

    His Pearl Jam fandom got him riled up. The way PJ crowds fuel the band is great. He assumed that would happen at the concerts for which he had tickets. The band not only stood in the exact same spots - they also sang the exact duplicate songs, the second night! He paid $150.00 for each show - expecting a variety of change-ups, banter and encores. The second $150 was a painful lesson learned. He will never do that again - it was a costly mistake.
    Everyone is born, but not everyone is born the same. Some will grow to be butchers, or bakers, or candlestick makers. Some will only be really good at making Jell-O salad. One way or another, though, every human being is unique, for better or for worse.

    I have a feeling that there would be bitching about the cost... even if the tickets were free.

    I read that the props and background played some kind of roll in the show.

    Anyone wanna clarify?

    One PJ show would be over in, well, one night.

    100 Ed shows would get you about 5 months, give or take.

    Give me Ed solo.
