Apart from that, I don't want to be all negative....the set list was fuckin brilliant again, you can tell that he's really enjoying the tour now. Highlights for me:
Glen:
Vigilante Man (fucking righteous anger!)
Way Back in the Way Back When...
Eddie:
Black (strings add even more emotion to this)
Bad
Can't Keep
Rise (especially after the Mandolin lost power!)
I am Mine
Off he Goes
Soon Forget (with the always excellent Trump bashing!!)
Maybe I shouldn't have posted so soon after the show last night, when I was still pretty annoyed over the wallys that I seemed to be surrounded by......looking back, the good definitely outweighed the bad.... How could it not? It was Eddie Vedder and Glen Hansard ffs!!!

Glen Hansard is some man. I haven't seen him since he delivered a spiritual performance with Swell Season at Bonnaroo in 2008. He's just a great story-teller, and as much as Eddie is the man, Glen adds greatly to the show IMO. Glen stopped playing during the delicate 'McCormack's Wall' to ask the crowd further back to quieten down. Normally when an artist does this at a show, things get a bit awkward for a moment. Not with Glen though - "Lads, will ye shut up down there, I can't hear the rest of the people listening, cheers." - Class. Also, 'Falling Slowly' nearly lifted the tarp off the tent near the end of Eddie's set. The smile on Glen's face during it would do you the world of good.
Right, Eddie. He obviously woke up in Cork yesterday morning and thought "How do I just raise this show to 11 straight away tonight?" - 'Better Man', that's how. And obviously, it worked. Great sing-a-long, and then when Eddie joined us in the second verse, his voice was crystal clear. From a guitar POV, interesting to see him play a Fender Strat. With PJ, it's usually Fender Teles and Gibson Les Pauls and SGs that he tours. There was none of those in sight tonight, Strat all the way. I have to say it suits him, he rocked the shit out of it at many points, starting with the Better Man outro.
Overall it was a great mix of tunes. The only thing I wasn't gone on was 'It Happened Today', but I'm just being picky. I'd honestly listen to the man sing the items from a Chinese takeaway menu. I last heard him live on the PJ Euro Tour in 2014 and 3 years later his voice doesn't seem to be weakening. His energy doesn't seem to be dwindling...at all.
Few notes to give a feel of the evening...
-Can anyone tell me what is with the white coats?? I was just reminded of The Buggles looking at them so much tonight!
-Before Ed came out, his lady introduced him onstage...in one of those white coats. She didn't refer to herself as Mrs. Eddie Vedder in any way, so a lot of the crowd mightn't have known exactly who she was, but Jill made a humourous introduction and showed her Irish roots with a strong 'Irish' word and made great use of it.
-Ed made mention of the fact that he or PJ haven't visited Cork in 20 years. He talked about that venue in 1996, Millstreet, and the bales of hay that were scattered around the place when they got down there. As an Irish man, it blows my mind that they played in fucking Millstreet! It's just random, that's all. Lovely countryside, but among one of the last places you'd expect to see Pearl Jam in the mid 90s. Apparently it was a serious gig though.
-I'm pretty sure it was before 'Come Back', but it could have been before 'Black' either, Eddie dedicated the song to a friend who recently passed who means a lot to him and whom he misses. The evening had a joyous tone overall, but during 'Come Back' and 'Black' these were the more sombre moments. 'Black' with a string quartet is just something else. Those seven notes sang over and over by the crowd on the outro, those seven notes played over and over on the violins, Eddie chanting over it all, it was very powerful.
-Speaking of powerful - Ed sitting at the organ for Comfortably Numb was just that.
-During 'The Auld Triangle', some of the interaction between Ed, Glen and the crowd made for a great, final campfire sing-a-long on a night that featured many. They free-styled some of the final verses with good-time lyrics. Ed sang about visiting Ireland to see his friends Bono, Larry and The Edge. Not sure if he mentioned Adam though! Ed asked his guitar tech to bring him a pint during this song, and it got passed around all who were on-stage. Everyone presumed it was a pint of Guinness, and it could have been, but after everyone sipped it Glen said into the mic "It's Murphy's!" to a cheer from the crowd. Murphy's is like Pepsi to Guinness' Coke in Ireland, and is made in Cork, while Guinness is made in Dublin. You can order a Guinness in Cork no problem, but it's not overly the done thing. Nice touch from Glen for the Cork crowd.
Anyway, it was a perfect evening for me in the Marquee. When these gigs were first announced, there were some eyebrows raised at some of the prices. However, If Eddie had have sent around his Cubs hat for a whip-round after the gig last night, I would have emptied my pockets into it. It was worth every cent, every mile and every minute standing on the asphalt from 6.30pm until shortly after 11pm. I hope he returns soon, and after what are reportedly two strong Irish gigs (I wasn't in Dublin, but the reviews from it are serious) and a growing kinship with Glen, I think he or the band will be back soon.
About Black in Dublin....yeah the guy butchered it, I was actually upset. But it wasn't supposed to be played at all. So we got to see a bit of it played as it should be! Is that better than not seeing it at all? Not sure.

He really needs to put out some new music... not a big fan of these solo shows becoming PJ greatest hits shows
Just enjoy it for what it is. And if you don't like it, don't go.
Yep, that wasn't Eddie's lady. Apologies. Seems a few made that mistake near the front - Whoever that person was, it was a good introduction and her use of c*** was immaculate!

As for the complaints about the crowd- (I'm not Irish BTW)
Yeah, there was a lot of moving around and some talking but hey, it's Ireland. If there's one thing I've learned after living here for 13 years is that the Irish don't follow rules closely. You can find that endearing or get pissed off by it. I figured it was going to be a bit chaotic with it being a big GA tent with only a limited seating on the sides. If Eddie wanted the show to be a quiet, intimate performance he wouldn't have chosen it as the venue. Crowd was bananas and he was clearly feeding off of it.
After meeting Ed again? And Glen, on top of that?
After queuing, meeting friends, making new ones, after the whole day, night, after this overall mindblowing experience?
How?
