At first he wanted to destroy the “happy sounding” instrument. He let the uke sit for a few days and then decided he would bring it down to his level and wrote some of the saddest songs he could. He says the next song is not one of the sad songs but a happy one. “I gave one back to the uke, and I had also met a wonderful girl.”)

07. You’re True (towards the end of the song says, “at this point the couple had been together for about ten years, had a couple of kids and were going to get married, taking it slow you know...”)

08. Light Today

(Ed tells the story about staying up late in one beautiful, clear night with a bright full moon. All of his friends and family were asleep but he wanted to enjoy the evening. He took his portable recorder and walked to the beach while recording the sound of the waves that are used during the song “Light Today”. He talks about how beautiful and peaceful the evening was and great the recording came out but he goes on to say that if “you listen to the whole tape you can hear these great waves and I am walking back to the house and I took a different path that was mostly sticker bushes so towards the end of the you can hear me saying ‘fuck, ow, fuck fuck ow fuck’ as I walk back to the house.”)

09. Millworker (Taylor)

(Ed talks about good kids coming from good parents and parents in general. He mentions that he never got me meet his dad but when hanging out in a jazz club in Mesa he met a guy playing with the band who was a friend of Ed’s father. Ed goes on to say that he never got to play music for his dad but he does get to play music for his dad’s best friend. He then asks the man (Danny Jones?) to stand up. He says Danny is a great dad as well.)

10. Just Breathe (Ed asks the audience if they have heard the Willie Nelson version and proceeds to sing the song the way Willie does. Ed says “I probably know Willie’s version better than my own by now)

(Ed talks about rafting with Sean Penn after shooting the film “Into The Wild”. Brian is in the audience and Ed invites him up to look at the campfire he has on stage. Brian stays on stage while the next songs are played)

11. Far Behind
12. Guaranteed
13. Long Nights w/ Glen Hansard

(Ed talks about back packing with Brian and Sean Penn a bit more and mentions what a hero Penn is for everything he is doing in Haiti. He suggests people check out what they can do to help Haiti.
http://jphro.org )

14. Rise (Brian leaves the stage)
15. Better Man (hi string guitar version)
16. Masters Of War-(Dylan)

(Ed says the political process is making him physically sick. He talks about how great the country could be if we just got “the right people out of the way and let the country run the way it should”)

    Great show. Millworker and Masters of War were highlights for me.

    Glen just killed it as the opener.

    I had a fn blast tonight!!

    Better show than the SD show I saw last year.
    I really expected Ed to get political and he didn't say much of anything. After all, AZ is pretty fn stupid!

    Thanks Es. Had fun! :D

    Agreed, great show. When Ed mentioned the first and last times he'd played in Phoenix (1991 and 2003), I felt blessed to have been at both - I think every one in the Phoenix area, except the first show at Mesa Ampitheater in 1993 (I was at the 2nd). And I'm happy he said he'd be back to Phoenix and it wouldn't be long. Hopefully that's true. Lots of highlights, couldn't possibly just pick one. Was a little disappointed that Boom was in Vegas but didn't appear tonight in Phoenix, and nobody offered him $5,000 to play Black : ) Aside from that it was great. Lots of idiots left between encore set #1 and set #2, so they missed hearing Rockin in the Free World and Hard Sun. Too bad for them - those were both great. Hope he keeps his word and comes back to Phoenix before long - great show. And Glen Hansard was amazing also.

    For a show I have been anticipating all year, it lived up to the build up! So happy Eddie and Glen came to town tonight! Eddie was so comfortable and spot on tonight. Falling Slowly brought on some tears... It was so clear. I envy those who are anticipating his next shows... You will not be disappointed.

    Before I got there I wondered how it would sound at Comerica, the building is pretty awful. The sound was great. Glen was amazing, he puts so much heart into his singing. Had third row, perfect view. Sad it is over. Masters of War was my favorite too.

    I have to admit, I was very disappointed with the 10C tickets. I'm not sure about anyone else, but I was put in row 30 with some other 10C members. In front of us were some people who purchased online with the general public...not to mention their kids had balcony tickets and were upgraded to the front row the day of the show. Over a decade in the 10C and I could have purchased better seats online. I'm not sure that the 10C admin were aware of that.

    Great show, though! I wish I could have been in row 5 like the 2003 PJ show.

    Great show. Glen killed the opening act. Seriously.

    Personal highlights were EW, Master of War (fantastic), and Porch.

    Also, my 10c tickets were 34th row (thankful for tickets, but hoping for better). Wife talked one of the employees into a upgrade, 14th row, dead center. I was right at eye level. Unbelievable. Looking forward to seeing the whole band hopefully soon.
    Ill take the firmest path...oh, and I must refuse your test

    Awesome show, my first time seeing Ed's solo shows and it didn't disappoint. Thanks so much for coming out to phx. I guess I can complain about the 10c tickets too, but had a great time anyways. Biggest complaint was the fellow fans in Az! Really guys have a good time but shut it down a little early so u ain't getting up to go to the ammo can every four songs. Never saw so many people leaving in the middle of songs. Well. Got to get on the road now, I have to stop and look for Tom and Avis on my way thru Gila Bend.

    I know for the Austin show night 2 tickets had been on sale for a couple of days, and I decided to see what they had left. Found Row 2 in the orchestra pit, just left of the stage!! :shock: :o :shock: :o I have no idea where my 10C tickets will be for Friday, but man I'm super stoked about the tickets I bought through the box office for the Sunday show.

    majorly bummed out with the 10 club seats :cry::cry::cry: This is my 6th Eddie Vedder show and it seems like they're progressively moving me further and further from the stage. I know it's random seating - I'm just bummed that most of the people between me and the stage bought their tickets elsewhere. I had faith that the 10club was going to bring the magic since I was bringing my dad for his 70th birthday, so that only added to my self imposed, disappointment.

    As far as the show goes... Glen Hansard was spectacular! Eddie was in a great mood and sounded ridiculously good.... though it would have been cool to see his facial expressions, haha.

    Looking forward to the next show!!

    My only gripe from last night was my seats. Section 202, row 3.

    Not...good.

    Other than that, it was great.

    Great show!

    I saw EV at The Wiltern on his first solo tour (07 or 08?), and 3 times last year in Southern California. This show seemed much more light-hearted and joyous. The Elderly Woman/Brain Damage/Sometimes trifecta was a great way to open the show. Ed seemed to be in a great mood, and it was fun to hear all the stories he told.

    "Millworker" and "Open All Night" both tell amazing stories, and it was great to hear Ed play his version of both songs.

    The Brian fella referred to in the orignal post is Brian Dierker, who is a river adventure guide who played the character "Rainey" in "Into The Wild". We were sitting next to him and his wife, and both were very cordial...you could tell they were happy to be there. We had no idea who he was, but when Eddie gave him a shout-out, he stood up and waved to the crowd. Eddie then had him come on stage to sit in front of a campfire during the next few songs. EV has always been good about paying homage to his musical heroes, but I like it better when he speaks of regular folk with whom he has crossed paths.

    According to Ed's story, after ITW was finished, Ed, Sean Penn and Brian went on some river adventure. Ed played some of the songs for them while they were camping. Hence, the campfire during the ITW songs.

    I am still floating from last night's show. Ed was fantastic, he is for sure getting better with age. My seats were tremendous, sec 4 row 19 had some great people to sit and share this experience with. Could not have asked for a better set list or performance from a dude in a lot of ways my friends and I grew up with in the Northwest so many years ago. Big thank you to Marc for putting on a great meet and greet and the Crescent. I was blessed to meet some awesome people. OK its obvious I had a great time. Again thanks to all for a great vibe and a time I will soon not forget!

    Not to harp on the policy, but it states: "We reserve the best seats in the house for fan club tickets, starting from the first rows on the floor and extending back. We also reserve the side sections closest to the stage when necessary. All Ten Club tickets are for reserved seating unless otherwise announced."

    I'm not expecting front row, but I would expect that the 10C members would be in front of the "general public" seating. I'm going to have to weigh my options on my renewal since I could have got front row on the day of the show.

    For EV shows, the policy, which is clearly stated when 10C ticket sales are announced, is different. The EV 10C seats are scattered throughout the venue.

    Eddie Vedder tickets have ALWAYS been random and always stated as such.
