** Eddie Vedder solo tour - 2nd leg **

punkdefied

I for one am friggin' happy as can be.

Seen the boys 5 times this year seeing Ed another 2 times would make 2008 my most PJ'd year ever.

Certainly can't complain. Now the hardest part will be getting tix

I know how you feel. I am still plotting my escape though. My husband said I don't think so..."haven't you done enough?" (Just took a road trip from Grand Rapids MI to Hartford). When he just saw I was on the boards he said "What are you doing?....telling everyone on their how much of an asshole I am?" The problem is, none of this has swayed me...I am still making plans. Not good.

hehehe - I LOVE being single!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew there was a reason I was still glad that I lived in Boston. Just hit 5 close by (NYC, Hartford and 2 Mansfield) and now 2 Ed solo at the Opera House...WOOOHOOO!!!
Yes friends, family and SO think I am 'crazy', 'too old' (if the band isn't, them I'm not), and I spend way too much money ('what else do I spend my money on? we have no social life, sweetie?')

I don't know if there could be a better place for a solo show..........Does anyone know PJ has ever played there? If not, why the hell not?

I wish I still lived out there, albeit I lived in Portland but it was New England no less. I fucking miss it out there, you are definitely lucky

For the last EV solo tour, did they mail out these 10 club tickets or do you pick them up at the door?

I am grinning like an idiot right now!!

Massey Hall...un-real!!

Man, I nearly crapped my pants when I heard about it on the radio in the car this morning. But I wasn't really listening so I didn't hear any details. I had
I can't believe it, ever since I heard about Eddie's solo disc I thought "man, wouldn't it be great if he came to Massey Hall?
And now he's gonna do 2 shows! Plus Montreal. Man 4 small shows (maybe) - how awesome will that be? I just hope I can get tix.
Ps. thankyou for making the Montreal show(s) on a weekend so I can actually make it out there!
Damn, I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl (although I'm actually a 26 year old man).

'twas my second pearl jam show. 1st one at the field house on CU campus. they started out on chairs at red rocks and jeff started out playing this cool upright bass guitar. it was terrific but i wasn't close enough! someday...

eddie solo at red rocks would be amazing. his voice bouncing off the rocks... wow!

After seeing PJ for the first time this summer and growing up on their music, my 12yr old has offered to sell one of his guitars to finance the trip. PJ has another up and coming hard core fan for him to offer one of the guitars he loves so much (either the strat or flying v, he'd never part with his LP Jr). He really loved ITW and listens to the soundtrack alot. I hope we can get 10c tix for the show we can make and I'll figure another way to fund the trip. Just wanted to share how much this means to him.

Well, I love being in love with a wonderfull man...he first told me no problem, go see 1 show in TO (I will not be in Montreal on those dates) but now, he is coming with me!!! Man I love him....

$75?
wow... more than a pj show.
any word if some proceeds going to a good cause?

Did anyone happen to think that for the tour to be worth it- and by worth it I mean pay his travels, expenses, staff, etc, he probably will make very little money if any at all from this little tour- he has to charge more than a PJ show, as there are only about 10-15% of the seats in these theatres as would be in a stadium or amphitheatre...

Just food for thought.

If you don't like the price, don't go, more of a chance I'll get tix.

that's a good point about the smaller venues, but still...
he's always claimed to be against high ticket prices, greed, etc...
some recent tix i purchased:
the hold steady- $25
ween- $30
sigur ros-$35
neko case- $25
mogwai- $16

all established bands that sold out the venues they are playing
more food for thought

Other acts coming up at Massey Hall:

Van Morrison - $195.00
Iggy and the Stooges - $99.50
Melissa Etheridge - $100.00
Kathy Griffin - $75.00

Eddie Vedder, while not the cheapest, is not way out of line...

I'm aiming for Boston shows, D.C. shows and maybe Montreal shows.

best of luck everyone.

this may be a stupid Q but what kind of sets should we expect to see from these shows...?

I'd guess we'll hear some "Into the Wild" tracks as well as some older songs he wrote back in 2002 for the ukelele - "Satellite", "Goodbye".. etc..

Whatever we'll hear it'll amazing..

Yep. Same old cities, while the rest of us get no love.

Ok so for those who have gone through this, how difficult was it to get tickets through the Ten Club because if I don't get back to backers to Massey Hall I'm gonna lose it.

ahhhh.
