Flew over to the US from Australia for 2 shows on this tour, Charlotte & Phx.

Had a great time in Charlotte but last nite was just awesome. The first encore was such a highlight. Around the Bend and H2I were probably top 5 on songs I hadn't heard yet.

Apart from missing Parting Ways by one show, I can't complain with what we got last nite!

I just want to say I was standing somewhat behind and next to you and your daughter the whole show and told you you were dad of the year in my book for bringing her to the show. I can only hope my kid in 5 years from now will go to a PJ show with me when he's 7! And when Ed called you out to come to the side of the stage and relieve your shoulders I was truly stoked for you guys. Not sure if you remember after the show, but I told you we could see your smile from ear to ear from where we were standing. Good for you man!

I have to write this. And this seems like the best place to write it and it possibly make it into Ed and Jill's hands. If someone could pass it along to Ed and Jill, it would be greatly appreciated. So... here goes.

First off, I want to thank Ed for the invitation to the side of the stage. Second, Thank you Jill for taking Bethany and getting her a bottle of water and a seat right next to the stage, talking with her, and giving her your sweater when she started to get cold and for just being absolutely awesome. At that point of the night, she had just run out of gas. She was tired, thirsty, sweaty, just plain uncomfortable and wanted to go home to bed. She wouldn't say this to me because of our talks about what to expect if she came to the show with me and what I expected from her, but I knew what was going on. This amazing display of generosity and kindness was above and beyond anything that I could have ever imagined. I realize that I pushed the envelope in bringing her to this show. Some would say that the GA floor of a Pearl Jam concert is no place for a 7 year old. Obviously, I disagree. Maybe 10, 15, 20 years ago... My daughter absolutely loves music. In fact, we joke that we live in a house that is a Glee reality show because of her turning EVERYTHING into a song. After my only GA PJ experiences in Missoula last year and Pittsburgh to open this tour, I felt that I could get away with it. And what better first concert experience than Pearl Jam from right in front of the stage?!?!?!? Since I got her Lightning Bolt, she has been listening to it pretty much exclusively. So while it may be the 10th for the rest of us, Lightning Bolt is PJ album #1 for her. In the last week, I gave her a copy of Ten to listen to. This morning when she was getting dressed, I heard Porch blasting from her room. I think she is hooked. So, Ed, thanks for thinking of my shoulders. Jill, thanks for taking care of my little girl. You two kept an absolutely incredible evening from turning sour at the end and instead turned an already incredibly memorable night into... well... something that words just can't describe. So, again... Thank You!

As for me, getting pulled up to the side of the stage for an encore at a Pearl Jam show? To say that I was as giddy as a school girl would just be cliche. It was obvious that I was more giddy than the school girl. At that point in the night, she was just glad to be sitting down with a bottle of water.

Walking out of the arena, it seemed as if everyone recognized Bethany as "The Girl". She got high fives from people and some even stopped and asked her to take a picture with them. So, walking out the door this morning to go to school (yes she went to school today), I asked Bethany how my little Rock Star was feeling this morning. She gave me a 1 word response. "Famous". This just made me smile and tell her that I love her. And think... How in the hell am I going to answer the questions when she starts asking about Bee Girl?

I had an amazing time last night. I was in GA about 10 deep on Stone's side. Great view and I walked in maybe 45 minutes before they took the stage.

The encore was the obvious highlight. I loved that Eddie noted (I think before Around the Bend) that "this next one is for the serious collector..." and then followed that with "well these next few." When Around the Bend started my jaw dropped. And then "the next few" reference really hit when HTI started.

After HTI, Eddie looked over toward Stone and said, "let's do the next one too, which happened to be Footsteps. And then Alone. Incredible.

San Diego tomorrow. Can not wait.

Thanks PJ for an incredible set. It was unbelievable.

There are no words for how amazing this show was. I'm still processing it (and trying to find my voice as well!)

If anyone got any photos of Mike at the end playing to the rail, or of when he laid his head on my chest (!!!!!!!), please, please, please let me know. I would do just about anything to have that moment captured forever.

You can also get a review of the show from the local newspaper ~ I didn't realize that lights came (and stayed) on b/c of a curfew that was supposed to shut the show down at 11:

ALSO, a big shout out to NAUjackfan who organized a local Wishlist Foundation Fundraiser /pre-party

I don't think it was because of a curfew, they always turn the lights on for indifference.
NAUJack lways does a nice wishlist. Missed this one, was their for the EdVed one and that was was great as well.

Also, I remember arriving into Phoenix at 7:30 am at hitting rush hour traffic after 25 hours of straight driving from Spokane and thinking, "OK. I think after this show, I am gonna be done with PJ for a while. I am burnt out and too old for this kinda effort for my daughter and grandson." I specifically remember the thought. Then as I was driving home from the Coyotes house last night, taking a wrong exit and wasting another 20 minutes dropping them off, "That was soooooooooo worth it. I would do it all again, TOMORROW!"

It was the first concert I have ever attended where I was completely satisfied with everything. I mean, I am always happy with PJ shows and a lot of other shows I have attended, but I would always selfishly think if they could play a different song, or a longer set, or if I had better seats or if I had more interaction with the band, you know, dumb stuff.

Not last night. It was perfect.

kinda happy they are off the night before and the night after. Made for a really fun show.

What a beautiful story all around! I still have goosebumps. Love/Nurture. The gifts that keep on giving. I grew up in a house filled with (vinyl) records on the player all the time. To this day, I still dance best with dad Elvis Presley was my first concert! I absolutely love it when I see parents and their children enjoy live shows together. My nephew is almost 7. Maybe I should bring him to the LA show w/me. Hmmm...Will ask his mom tomorrow. But if he gets cranky, he'll have to wait in the car for me until the show is over (giggle giggle).

Can anyone work out what was the crossed out song in the second encore that STBC replaced?

Just so there's no misunderstanding, he's referring to my 50th show, which will be tonight, not my 50th birthday, which will never happen.

Now we wait for 15 weeks to get the boot. Can not wait for this one! Expected boot on 3/5? :corn:

One thing I loved about last night that no one has noted here is Ed's speech about how where they live in Washington both gay marriage and marijuana are legal. He then said something like "we haven't had any problems with it up there, come on Arizona - hint hint". He has a great way of pointing out something we might need to improve on without being rude about it.

Absolutely!!!

Don't have video or even a picture--was too busy rocking out on that one. That being said, as good as Getaway was musically, Eddie wrote too many words for the pre-chorus parts and had some serious trouble keeping them straight. Was still awesome to hear it live as it is my favorite track from the new album.
