    ah yeah...he wasn't very far from me actually, right behind Julien (and apparently singing along too he said!).
    But I only know because someone said, I didn't and still would not recognise them (apparently the whole band was there).. that's telling you how much attention I was paying to them in Nijmegen! :p

    I didn't see anyone famous...but then I was so excited of having made it inside! Only people I cared about finding where the jammers I knew :D

    Kevin and Bean were talking about this weekends shows and really praising Eddie's performance. They said that Eddie is covering songs from artists that have inspired him through his life along with Into the Wild. It was truly an amazing and unforgettable evening. I wish we could get the download :( P.S. did any of you see Brandon Boyd? I ran right into him, face-to-face, and didn't say anything-just froze up and kept walking- i didn't want to bother him by saying hi or anything but now all my friends are disappointed in me for not talking to him. I thought he'd get mad if i bothered him on his free time. Anyone here met him?

    When was this? I'd like to listen to the podcast of Kevin and Bean...Around what time if you could! Thanks...I actually talked to Psycho Mike after the show, called into KROQ....he was cool as hell. :D


    Where did you see Brandon? He's supposed to be a pretty cool guy...

    What a difference there was in the vibe from show 1 and show 2. Both were great shows, but Eddie was not feeling the crowd from night 1. ("Hope you guys are better than those assholes from last night!"). Also did anyone notice that he changed a line in the song "I Wont Back Down"??? He actually said "well I wont let this room bring me down...no I wont back down." Did anyone else catch that? Am I crazy and imagining things? I am almost 99 percent sure that it happened.

    I realize I am in the minority here, but up until the first encore, I actually thought Ed put on a better show Night 1 - Night 2 felt a little like he went through the motions of his main set...that said, the crowd were essentially assholes at LA2 as well. Anyhoo, just my 2 cents.

    Agreed. Thought night 1 was better. Loved Watchtower during night two, but other than that thought it was more canned than night 1.

    Still loved both nights, just enjoyed night 1 more.

    I hate to get into the Celebrity Star Gazing (really!!) but my wife's US magazine says Tom Brady and Giselle were at the Wiltern. I told my wife "Bullshit, if it wasn't in the Pit it didn't happen :p" Any truth to the Tom/Giselle rumor?

    Thanks. It's kinda funny that in a six page thread, there was about one answer to the "was he there?" question and the rest was "you/he suck(s)" arguing :p!

    Guess I gotta apologize to the wife. Never shoulda questioned US Magazine!

    Well most of those night 1 "assholes" were at night 2 as well. And knowing how rabid his fans are, he probably knew that and that's why what he said was actually funny (well to me at least).

    EDIT: Night 1 was better because I had second row center seat :-)


    Who were you around? I was in second row center as well.

    I see a lot of celebrities also -- I work in Century City and live in the Hollywood Hills -- but I thought it was cool in this setting to see what celebrities like Eddie Vedder/ Pearl Jam. That's what I thought was cool about seeing Phil Jackson at the show, the day before he and the Lakers crushed San Antonio.

    Once again...Eddie didn't disappoint; once again, neither did you guys: in general, I'm talking about all Pearl Jam fans; specifically, everyone who was at the show; even more specifically, I got to meet and hang out with Lizard, Lizard's husband, Sweet Adeline, and Nfanel. Good people. Funny people.

    At the risk of sounding like a neo-pseudo-poseur-retro-hippie, I really got off on the communal nature of these last two shows.

    I'm not exactly an extrovert (becoming a teacher is curing me of that), so it surprised me how easily I found it to turn to a complete stranger and let loose with some joyful rant, peppered with profanity.

    (By the by, if any of you were offended or uncomfortable listening to the joyful-profanity rants of some random big guy, then I apologize. I couldn't help myself. Oh yeah...and these were rants of normal, considerate volume. I wasn't the "FOOTSTEPS!!!!!!!!" guy.)

    It's nights like these that remind me what great joy and passion can be had if we focus on what we have in common rather than what separates us.

    One last note, it's been a long time since I've been moved by a performance--of any kind--like I was moved by Eddie's re-creation of Arc.

    At first, I couldn't help but consider the powerful ramifications of the song's genesis. Then, slowly, I seemed to slip into a bit of a meditative state--transported by Arc's primal nature. Finally, I found myself simply staring at the ground, hands clasped in almost a state of supplication. Powerfully emotive stuff.

    So, fast forward about two hours...
    My friend Cutback and I, yes THE Cutback, were in line at the In N' Out Burger when he nudges me and points to the license plate of the car in front of us.

    This is what I saw:

    http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k16/cutback32/IMG_1031.jpg

    Now, I like to think of myself as being equal parts logical and emotional, cynical and optimistic, Joel Fleischman and Chris in the Morning (I've been watching Northern Exposure re-runs), but seeing this license plate in conjunction with the spiritual nature of Arc at the Wiltern seems to be more than just chaotic coincidence.

    Part of my brain is saying, "Shut up you idiot! Weird, coincidental shit happens all the time. You just don't acknowledge it. At best, this is synchronicity."

    The other side of my brain is screaming, "What are the odds that a license plate will be issued with those three letters in that particular order, and that car is in Rosemead at 12:30 in the morning at the In N Out we decided to go to, in the lane we chose, following a concert where my mind was blown by an artist singing a song whose title also includes those three letters in that specific order? This is none of that profane bullshit you deal with everyday; this is SACRED!"

    Obviously the mystic side of my brain is slightly more convoluted and verbose than the laconic logical side.

    And when it came to this particular argument, the mystic side kicked the logical side's ass.

    Synchronicity or epiphany? Either way, I had a blast.

    Cheers.
