He came out once and kneeled referencing the NFL protests. Got big cheers.
A couple of times he commented on a woman calling out for Dirty Frank. He said at one point that he was going to playi loud just to drown out the "Dirty Frank bitch."
at at one point Ed suggested the cameraman was high and the the cameraman wobbled his camera around in response.
Ed seriously just ran into that Jack kid randomly? The kid was amazing. Maybe in Nashville you run into aspiring musicians like you run into aspiring actors in New York.
Really great night.

Just Breathe w/ MFC- I saw Matt earlier in the day and knew that would be a huge and emotional moment and guessed he’d come and perhaps stomp on Ed’s kick drum thing but to have MC to vocal work on that song moved several people in the crowd - myself included. We’re just over 4 months after their brother and close friend passes away. Ed started his Euro tour a week or so after he died, right? To me, it was the best unspoken tribute to their fallen friend I’ve seen or read out.
Society w/ Jack West- I think he’s like 12 or 13 and he impressed the crowd. Neat moment before he started singing is he smoothly picked up his lyric sheet like he’s an old pro. Also, when he came in too early during as Ed was doing the solo and EV encouraged him with eye contact and almost nudged him with the end of the neck on his guitar that seemed to communicate- not yet man but you’re crushing it in front of this festival crowd. It’s something I would do with my kids and was a badass moment. Plus, the kid could sing and he’s got that experience to hold onto forever.
After Without You, the electric uke comes out and I was all about some Can’t Keep since that’s the origination of the songs beginnings from one of his first solo appearances back in the early aughts but alas it wasn’t going to happen but what we got was (a first take) on The Clash classic Should I Stay Or Should I Go and I about went nuts man as that’s a top 5 Clash song for me. The uke goes out of tune several strums (wink) in and EV has a funny moment w/ some F bombs. Clip here and then fresh off iOS11, my phone dies https://youtu.be/0nkbbCr_Qh4
One of several amazing moments from tonight’s show. Luckily he got it re-tuned a song later and it was probably my favorite moment of his set. Not sure if that’s been played too much on his solo runs the past decade so I liked that little nugget of a cover. Also, dug the Harrison classic Isn’t It a Pity. It was interesting that the crowd around me weren’t too familiar with either cover being so close to Music City USA.
As for the Dirty Frank girl, I met her and her sister before Mavis’ set and she told me she went to 12 shows last year. Not sure of her total PJ count but it’s high so she’s diehard and 10c member. I thought the request was just so out there that it could my stamp of approval (I don’t yell out requests at shows because that’s just so damn free bird but if I did I’d go with In My Tree or Out of my Mind or BRY). Also, I found out it was her from her sister after the show and they were also yelling something about Colorado. They’ve never been to a solo EV show and I was giving them the rundown about how it’s intimate, quiet and just a unique experience seeing EV in a solo setting - outside no less versus the smaller theaters he played on one of his last solo tours (2012?) so she definitely took advantage of the crowd being not as loud as a PJ show.
All of the other fanviews touched on the crowd Saturday. I’ve never seen anything like it a festival and I’ve been to tons which is why I opted for Pilgrimage b/c of the 25,000 sold out crowd they announced would be there at the park both days. It was 50 to 60k there Saturday - easily. Funny that the festival organizers were still sticking with that figure - but upping it to 27k was there Sat. Nah man, no way. The lines for anything and everything was a 20-30min wait. I felt bad for the parents in 70 people deep lines for the water stations. It was unseasonably hot - upper 80s/low 90s - whereas normally this is perfect weather for that part of TN. The crowd on Sunday was perfect. They added more water stations and there was zero to a minimal wait for beer, food, water, bathrooms.
Franklin, TN is pretty nice and quaint little town. I stayed in an AirBnb less than 2 miles from the park and just walked it both days. It was an easy walk and going in Saturday I waved at this woman coming out of her house and said I liked her town and we ended up talking for 30min about the history of the town, the house she just sold and she invited me in to show it to me. I grew up in the Southeast but that isn’t a common thing. I check it out and find out she’s in two bands and her ‘jam’ room was stacked with 4-5 guitars, couple keyboards, banjo. It was neat and added to the small town experience. Everyone I met was staying in Nashville which is only 25min away but that traffic was snarled and rubbed some people the wrong way. Lastly, the festival is really great for parents bringing their young kids so I liked that angle particularly since the curfew was 8:30pm so you basically had the rest of the evening to check out their downtown and be all banged up the following day. Met a handful of PJ diehards which is always awesome to reminisce over past tour stories and share in on the excitement. The vast majority of attendees were local to Franklin or to TN and they all took pride that this festival is successful in its third year and will likely be a great one for year’s to come now that JT bought a house there and is going to continue to help co-produce. Timberlake’s performance was huge. He’s Tennessee’s favorite son and it showed. Everyone loves him - young, millennial, Gen X on up to the grandparents and it had the feeling of a big stadium event particularly when the place went nuts when Chris Stapleton came out. Other performance highlights Saturday- Better Than Ezra (they still have it yall), Gary Clark, Jr (your modern day guitar hero), Trombone Shorty (impressive) and Avett Brothers (they’re underrated and crush it every time). Sunday was Kingfish (Christone Ingram) - an 18yr blues shredding guy who went on at 11am and played with his teeth and strutted into the audience for an extended solo. He impressed me more than other performer that I had not seen live yet. Plus, I thought Mavis Staples knocked it out of the park. I only caught two or three Ryan Adams’ songs as I wanted to get in decent position for EV but didn’t need to get crazy close b/c I wanted to give other fans the opportunity to see the legend up close!

Not that St. Paul is the disaster that he's referring to, but that one was.
And side note, he really took a bleeping knee??? WTF? I know this isn't the political forum, but c'mon...

I hope you or I commenting doesn't open Pandora's Box in this thread. If you have concerns, let's go to the Train and talk about it. I promise not everyone there is a raging lunatic...but there are a few who are. I'm just having a hard time understanding why you're surprised? If the sun doesn't come up tomorrow, my fall back would be, "Well, at least Eddie Vedder is still pointing out injustices around the world. Good to know I can depend on something; unlike the sun rising every day."
Please don't take this as any sort of an attack on you. I'm sure you're an awesome guy who likes awesome music. The logic you chose is just baffling. Hope to see you on the Train. If not and you want to exchange view points in PM, that's cool. I love a good debate and I play fair as long as it's returned. Healthy conversation, discussion, and debate is what we need in this country. And if you're up for that, in one form or another, cool. If not. Right on. Have a good one.

Anyway, @ledvedderman, I had a great time that night! They played Bushleaguer and gave a shout-out to Paul Wellstone during it. (He had recently been killed in a plane crash.) I had a blast watching Mike up close and loved the fact that they were done after Rockin' but decided on the fly to give us Ledbetter. I was row 5 center the night before, so those 2 shows are why I keep renewing my membership to keep my number.
Peace to all, no derailing. I just saw that and added it as a side-note to my comment.
anyway, cheers!

Once again, I don't want to derail this, but thinking about it, why did Sea mention it in the first place if no one is expected to talk about it?
I should really get back to work though. Mondays are my busy days. LOL
But it was a great show. He engaged the crowd a lot, made some great jokes and thought he sounded awesome. Loved hearing I Am Mine. Such a great song. The crowd did a great job with the sing a longs from what I could hear, but I was right on the rail behind the VIP area, so don't know what it sounded like towards the back. Matt being there was a great surprise and the kid Jack, who sang on Society with him did a great job. I can't imagine how nervous he must've been, but it didn't show at all really. Great job kid. I always love seeing Eddie do nice things for kids at shows. After Porch he went down to distribute picks to several kids who were down front. Whether you agree or disagree with his stances on issues, we're all lucky to have such a caring and stand up person to have in this band. And well, really lucky to have all the guys that are in this band
