Long Way was scratched.  It was supposed to follow Just Breathe but was cut as the curfew was not going to be extended despite the crowd incident that interrupted JB.

Falling Down

Lotsa PJ in there (8 of 16), great for the casual fans. Wish I’d been there.

I assume it is the Earthling’s Long Way.

 I had so much fun. It was my first time seeing Ed completely solo. I did see Earthlings. I thought he sounded great and seemed to be having fun. Setlist was awesome. The show felt really short though. It just zipped on by. I was sad to see it end. I did get a guitar pick so that added some excitement to my day as well.

Hell of a spot you had!

And yeah, it was supposed to be Long Way (with Josh playing Benmont Tench's part).

Glad you got a pick!

Yeah. I was one of the lunatics that lined up at 7am for rail (the rest of you know who you are). But got the rail so it was worth it to me.

Nice work!!!

Nice looking set for a short festival.  Love to see that hunger strike carry over into a pj set again! 

Most importantly, any ev musings on a new album or hitting the road soonish?

No musings by Ed regarding a new album or a tour.  I felt that the set paled in comparison to his 2019 Innings show.  At 90 minutes with two delays to make sure the crowd was ok, it seemed like a fairly short set, although I will say he’s in fine voice!  I did appreciate Hunger Strike and In God’s Country.  There was a noticeable decrease in crowd size from Saturday’s Green Day show to Ed on Sunday.  Perhaps that was weather related.  Always good to see Ed, but I was left feeling meh about his show overall.

Rail is always  worth it. And a beautiful  thing

Earthling album still so fresh,  would seem slightly disappointing to not get more of that IMO

Yeah, 16 songs was weak for a headliner.  Maybe it should have been 17 without delays.  I was there last night.  Fun time.  I don’t expect to be blown away by Eddie solo anymore.   Especially at a festival. We know the drill.  Ed sounded fantastic.  

Hunger Strike and In God’s Country were the highlights for me.  

I have learned over the years I want drums and bass at festivals.   Leave the singer/songwriter stuff for the theaters for what it is built for.  Same for Mumford, although he had a band on stage for a few songs.

It is very strange to me that, at an Eddie Vedder solo show, he performed only one Eddie Vedder-written song from an Eddie Vedder solo album ("Far Behind"). Nothing from Earthling, and two of the three songs from the Into the Wild soundtrack are covers. Everything else is either a Pearl Jam song or a cover of a song by another artist.

It was on the short side but it was only ever a 90 minute slot on the schedule.  

I enjoyed it but I agree with whoever said the 2019 version was better.

Hunger Strike was definitely a highlight for me - especially with the whole crowd participating. I also enjoyed You've Got To Hide Your Love Away. That is one of my favorite Beatles songs and I have always liked his cover of that, so was happy to see it live. I wish Long Way wasn't cut. I couldn't see the commotion in the crowd that held up the show, but it sucks we had to miss a song because of it.
