    Wrigley was around 7or 8 night before if I remember correctly. Been outside for Fenway before. It's pretty loud

    The soundcheck was amazing and I would never have caught this without your post (thank you very, very much!!!).

    FYI...Draw the Line (Aerosmith), I've Got A Feeling and Strangest Tribe I do not believe were played by the band. I think this was music that was being played by the roadies as they were putting stuff away. The sound was way muted and I think that the band was off the stage by then (I would love to be wrong on this BTW).

    Also, saw the guys and shook Ed's hand after sound check (he signed my 2004 World Series ball with Fenway dirt on it) so it was an amazing night. Also hung out with a cool fan from TX who used to live in MA...

    Cant wait for the shows!!!
    whoa! got any pictures of the ball? Thats effing awesome

    Like I said hopefully I am wrong on this! Maybe they sound-checked them in stealth mode?

    It may have been loud inside Bleachers Bar with the chatty people, but no way would i mistake hearing Ed's unique vocal tone. It was definitely the band hammering away at those tunes
    i have witnessed some performances. i have soaked up a lot of memories.

    That is so cool! Congrats!
    Were you waiting at the gate in Lansdowne Street? And did Eddie leave shortly after 10:30? If so, I may need your testimony for my divorce petition. My husband made me leave!!!

    I left after to eat dinner. My luck is either scenario:

    1. I leave and band appears/super quick meeting with people

    2. I stay and band hightails it into an awaiting vehicle

    Speed of Sound, Parachutes, and Sirens? This is the worst setlist ever! :lol:

    I absolutely love Parachutes. :)

    That's what I was thinking...I think the last song played by the band was Reign Over Me.

    Agreed. I heard notes if I Got a Feeling, but didn't hear Ed singing it.

    Honestly I really dig Parachutes as well, I just know it gets hated on a lot. The other two? No thanks.

    Are they playing Bonnie Raitt on the sound system right now, or is that her actually singing? Playing the same song twice.

    Sounds nice, but I can't imagine her as a surprise opener for Pearl Jam!!!

    Hopefully!
    Glad I was wrong on this!!! They definitely turned down the amps while they were playing these three songs. I heard them, but couldn't tell if it was live or Memorex - :-). Stealth sound check...Nice!!!

    So I guess we can look forward to Angel tonight (fingers crossed)?
