Insane night. New songs sounded fantastic. The Waiting was quite a moment. They totally nailed it. Not so much on Message In A Bottle. 😂

Great main set. Encore was fanfuckingtastic.

That version of Porch was face melting. Chad Smith was on fire all night, really enjoyed that drum solo. Having Benmont Tench added to the show for sure and Copeland ending was fantastic. 

I was in the 7th row and was sitting next to a childhood friend of Andrew Watt. Him and his friend seemingly really had no idea about EV or Pearl Jam. His friend (from NY) went to dinner the previous night with Watt and all the band members minus EV were there. He showed me a video of Andrew Watt playing at his wedding and a short email sent in 2009 stating he was going to play with Vedder someday. They took off early and missed Watt smashing his guitar… but I had already rushed the stage on the encore like so many others. Security gave up trying to disperse us. 

Watt gave what was left of the smashed guitar to a kid who also got a tambourine from EV. Pretty cool for the kid but it seems to encourage more parents to bring kids and put them on their shoulders for most of the show. Didn’t bother me, but I wasn’t right behind them either. 

The cover of the Band version of Baby Don’t You Do It was a highlight for me.  EV said they played it after the second Seattle show when they jammed at his house till 5am. Needed a horn section to play it live, and of course JK knew some fellas.  They nailed it. 

The cover of Message in a Bottle with Copeland was a little clunky at first, but they got it down. Copeland was having a blast up there on that one and RITFW.  He is one of the all-time greats for sure and came in cold and brought it (I NEED to see an Oysterhead show someday). Smith grabbed a guitar to jam on that song. Chris Chaney is an awesome bassist, the rhythm section was rocking all night. 

The cover of I’m One was great as well. I’ve never really liked the Dirty Frank tune, always thought it was a throw away, but it was a fun song to see live, kind of like Sweet Lew at Ohana. It almost seemed like EV didn’t want to play it, but Smith and Chaney started the song and EV looked back and laughed and started singing. 

Having Benmont Tench really added to the TP covers. The Waiting was particularly special as mentioned earlier in the thread. 

The songs off the album were great, and OV singing My Father’s Daughter was cool to see live. She sounds as good live as on the album. The amount of talent on the stage is kind of astounding when I stop snd think about it. 

The venue sounded great, very intimate (I think the furthest seat is 134 feet from the stage) and that embedded L-Acoustics sound system really did the trick. If you want to read more about it this is a good article:

Really enjoyed Glen Hansard’s opening act. Think it was five songs. The opener and the piano ballad dedicated to the folks in the Ukraine were particularly impressive. He also performed a duet with OV off the Flag Day Soundtrack, can’t remember the song title.GH was having a great time with the Earthlings, you could certainly tell. Everyone in the band was having a blast, lots of energy on stage. 

Overall, great main set list and mind-blowing encore. It was a fucking rock show and a memorable one at that.

Amazing night. Ed pointed out during Message in a Bottle that they had “no practice” on that song. I got the impression it was impromptu when Copeland started a drum riff and the guitars followed. Ed didn’t know the words to the beginning at all. Very fun. 

I’m not really a Chili Peppers fan, so Chad Smith on drums was new to me and he was unreal and very entertaining all night. 

Glen Hansard can still belt it out. 

A great warmup for me and my wife for Imola in four months!

Exhilarating night! Not much to add...the above posts say it perfectly. Just want to say that I was unsure of what vibe would be, given the state of the world. It was a fun, light-hearted mood, to my surprise. I can't remember when I've seen Eddie have so much fun on stage.  Just what I needed! An escape from reality, where I could forget the outside world and just be at a rock concert!

The song Olivia guested on during Glen’s opening set was the Oscar winning Falling Slowly from the Once soundtrack. Glen’s biggest hit by far.

As others have already made clear, this was an incredibly fun show. Ed mentioned early that he expected this to be the best show of the tour, and he wasn't kidding! Between that and his comment midway through the show that they had already paid for extra time to go over curfew, there were certainly high expectations set -- and those were exceeded.

A few observations:

- Getting Benmont on a handful of songs was a treat. Ed was clearly honored to be able to play with him and praised Benmont throughout his time on stage. He told a story about when PJ played with TP/The Heartbreakers in Milwaukee that was really poetic.

- Ed emphasized that the title of the song from the new record is "IN the Dark." Wonder why it's titled The Dark on the album itself?

- The playing on Brother the Cloud was a little off, but Ed sang his fucking heart out and appeared incredibly passionate throughout. It was obvious that the lyrics carry a pretty heavy weight for him.

- When they first started playing Message in a Bottle, it almost seemed like a fuck-around-improv, and Ed looked a bit confused. But they kept going and he really pulled it together after the first verse. Thought it came off really well in the end considering that it was unrehearsed.

- The Waiting was a big highlight. Sounded so good, and - again - to have Benmont on stage for it felt extra special. 

- Porch is always mindblowing.

- Olivia Vedder has an incredible voice and seems to be having a great time performing. Eddie's wife, Jill, was in attendance too (on the floor about 10 rows back) and was rocking out. Olivia eventually came down to the floor and rocked out with her. Really sweet to see love they all share for music.

Yes Marvin Gaye recorded it first. They played The Band version (stated in my original post) off Stage Fright. EV is a fan. They used to play the song quite consistently on the Sirius/XM PJ channel.
