Fantastic night. Jerry Seinfield had the audience roaring and killed his brief stand-up.
Ed was introduced by Laura Dern as a surfer, an activist, and her "brother in law"
Ed's set
Guaranteed
Rise
ARC
Indifference with Ben Harper
Ed comes back out for the end of Ben's set and he tells the crowd this is an experiment. They go into an AWESOME version of Queens "Under Pressure" Ed did Bowie and Ben did Mercury's part. It was so awesome that it got the first standing ovation of the night. Even the high rollers and celeb's down in front got up and clapped and stomped for what was an awesome performance.
Jim James didn't get to play his own set so that was a bummer instead he was out with Ben and Donovan for Donovans set. (I suspect he was asked to carry Donovans songs as that dude is WAY past his prime.)
Howard Stern then announces Ringo Star and whos on backing vocals as the curtain is drawn? Mr Vedder. Ringos set was
1.You know it dont come easy
2. Boy
3. Yellow Submarine (This was incredible, The whole audience on their feet doing the "Yellow Submarine, Yellow Submarine, A Yellow Submarine part.) Ringo cued up Ed for his part by singing "A YOUNG EDDIE VEDDER"
Pauls set
1. Drive my Car
2. Jet
3. Got to get you into my life
4. Lady Madonna
5. Blackbird
6. Here Today (dedicated to Lennon)
7. Band on the run
8. Cant Buy me Love
9. With a little help from my friends - WITH RINGO
10. Cosmically Conscious with Ed on Maracas and sharing a mic with Sheryl Crowe.
11. Saw Her Standing There (all star finale with all acts on stage.) Ed throws Maracas in air at the end and gives Paul a big hug. Paul thanks everyone and grabs Ed's hand and they all do the bow with Ed and Paul side by side.
So glad I was a part of it.

I think that Arc is a meditation to Ed, so it makes sense.
If I knew where it was I would take you there. There's much more than this

Why not (V) (°,,,,°) (V) ?
Oh, and I was surprised that there was no "Hide Your Love Away"

Ed sang karaoke on 'Yellow Submarine' with his Cubs Fantasy Camp buddies back in February! Got to see a clip of it on the local (Phoenix) news, then on Youtube before it was removed.
