It is amazing how many jammers are here to share their experiences at shows they attend. After reading this thread, I know it doesn't come close to actually being there, but at least I kind of felt like I was there.
Thanks so much to all the relayers!
word.
thanks to the lucky ones that were there for sharing.
THAT is a great tatoo!
Thanks for the reply on the backstage. Sounds like a totally great time.
I know what you mean about not wanting to bother them. I was backstage at a Jack Johnson show, the one where Boom was playing. After emberassing myself when I saw Boom I layed low after that. Didn't want to bother anyone.
Beachdweller ..... aren't you the one that had the great reviews from the Maui show back in 98 I think it was?
thanks again
glad you had fun
no, I missed out on Maui in '98.
"Music, for me, was fucking heroin." eV (nothing Ed has said is more true for me personally than this quote)
My friend who was relaying was in the 7th row... but she was sitting with someone she met at the pre-party who had an extra 10c ticket, so I don't know what that person's 10c number was. Good seats though!
She is number 400xxx and still had pretty decent seats. Sec N, which is one section back, Row 6.
And to top it all off she was walking down Waikiki beach this afternoon and ran right into Ed playing with his daughter in the shallow surf!!
Didn't bother him, didn't feel the moment was right. But she said when she first walked by she thought "that guy is working the Eddie Vedder look.." then "Good lord, that is Eddie Vedder." He looked up and smiled at her, she was wearing the Pearl Jam "Tiger" t-shirt, and that was about it. She was in awe, watched him play with his daughter for a bit, then had to run and catch her plane. She was stoked!!!
Can't wait, I'm heading over for PJ/U2!!!
Ok FINALLY
I PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER!
Before i left i was looking for a ticket, and you were kind enough to refer me to your friend, 1vedhead.
So, fast forward to LAX...i saw a girl wearing a the Avocado tour shirt, then saw her again on my flght home. While in line to get on the plane, she told me that she had seen Ed that morning with his daughter. SO ITS THE SAME GIRL!!! Now everything makes so much sense to me. It was a whirlwind of a weekend, so it was hard for me to put things together at the time. i was going to ask her about the board and if she posted on it, but i was soooooooooooo tired from ZERO sleep in two days and rocking the fuck out on Saturday.
Ok, now i know faces and screen names. Good times.
Also, Dirty Frank was on the list but crossed out.
Leash, Blood and Dirty Frank were on the set list for the encores, but all were crossed off. Thin Air and Soon forget were also on there, but not played.
12th row? wow thats what I had at the Gorge (around)... must have been a smaller venue with alot of fanclub members...
That was exactly the situation.
Small place, and hardly any locals. There were so many Fan Club members from everywhere. But 12th row was a really good seat because it was a small floor.

right on, almost pulled the trigger but thought twice about the debt situation I would have been coming home to right before christmas... they'll tour again
Things change. They wont change unless you make them. The best way to change something you don't like, is to change yourself. So if you feel like you have a piece of duct tape on your mouth and you can't escape, take it off, speak up, speak your mind, shout it out, let 'em hear ya! -EV
It is indeed the same girl. I picked her up at the airport Sunday night and she was wearing her European Avocado t-shirt. Ding, ding, ding.
We both take off for Hawai on Wednesday to catch PJ/U2. Can't wait!!!
It was driving me crazy relaying the last part of the 12/2 show. I was on the phone, singing at the top of my lungs at 2:30am. I'm sure my neighbors loved that.
I almost felt like I was there. Wish I had been!!!

I saw her as i was walking to my car in the parking lot. I was going to offer her a ride, but i saw that she was waiting for someone on the side of the street. I hope you guys have fun!
Take lots of pictures.

I never saw this sweatshirt, nor was I at LAX at the time (I was at North Shore to be precise), but I'm sure it could have completely covered up the "vertically challanged" woman who was grinding on the Tsunami dance floor Saturday Night.
"Underneath this smile lies everything - all my hopes, anger, pride and shame."
Man of the Hour was dedicated to Mikes father who has passed away.
My Dads anniversary was 4 days before this show so I welled up during the dedication. I couldn't look at Mike during that song or else I would have cried. He was his usual self, but I was just a little emotional.
As for Ed sightings. I had a week of near misses :( Ohh well, it wasn't meant to be this trip. Congrats to the lucky ones tho.

What a great night! Beachdweller, you were a great addition to our group. Backstage was a special treat. Loved getting to know you and hearing your views on the issues we discussed. I, like you, hated to cut in but made my effort to shake Ed's hand and say 'thank you'. I didn't expect him to give me the grin and sparkled-eyed 'you're welcome' that he did. I love Toby for standing next to me cheering me on! Sort of like you all standing around waiting for Kelly! We partied with Brian last night and ran it all over again together. Love you new tattoo by the way! Looks great. Can't wait to hook up at the next PJ/FLTM show! Best to you-Michelle & Toby
said hi to Mike before they went on, during KOL, while he was warming up, he signed my ticket, didn't stay, he had a few friends around and I felt like staying would be intruding, talked to Kelly Slater for a moment, took a picture with, asked if he thought the Wednesday swell that was coming would bring the waves they needed for the Eddie A. big wave contest, said hi to Ed after the show, he was really trashed, the opportunity to talk to all members was there, but a lot of friends and family around, so I didn't feel real comfortable cutting in and saying hi. Spent most of the time talking with my new friends Toby and Michelle, and their friend Brian, who I partied with in 2003 Ben Harper Berkeley Greek Theater show, small world, lol. We all had a good time back there before and after the show, drooling over all these people we admired.
Sorry, no steamy details to share, but I have no regrets.
Got a tatoo this morning before getting on a plane, turned out great, has a lot of meaning since I lived on Oahu for three years ('88-'90), plus this weekend was a blast, picture at: http://www.myspace.com/beachdwellers_tiki_bar
