He was probably going to play Betterman anyways so why not choose something that a little more interesting. Footsteps would have been awesome.
There seemed to be lots of casual fans in the crowd. Almost no one was on their feet for Porch.
He did lightly strum a couple notes of Footsteps and then asked "does anyone know how to play it". The problem with just picking some song is it had to be something he's worked on or played solo before. One guy did yell out Jeremy which got a "no fucking way" from Ed.
He gave 2 people a choice and then the crowd voted. It came down to Betterman vs Just Breathe and Betterman won. Most of the people around me groaned when she had that chance and chose Betterman.
I would have said Skipping...

Really, if you are going to yell out a song name, yell out something that has a chance to be played
I don't usually yell at all during a "Ed Style" show, however, I would have chose to shout "Running out of time" if he gave a choice.

If faced with that decision, I would've chosen betterman too.

I would have chose something else as well, but like you mentioned we got 2 choices from two people and then the crowd as a whole voted. If the choices were Skipping and Betterman, I imagine a majority of the crowd wouldn't know skipping, so they would have chose Betterman anyways.

Yep, Betterman was going to win regardless.

I was at the show last night and it was awesome. Just want to point out that it was an alternate rendition of Better Man with a different tempo and vocal pattern. I know I've heard this alternate rendition of Better Man before. So...I guess in the end it was a good choice, and the guy who chose the song didn't seem like he was expecting Vedder to point him out of the crowd for a request.

I was at this show, and had Ed pointed to me and asked me what I wanted to hear, I would have definitely said "Thumbing My Way"! As it was, I did enjoy the slowed down version of Betterman. It reminded me of the first time I ever heard the song-Bridge 2010-the first time I ever heard PJ and the night my life changed forever!!
Some people just jumped up and started speaking for their section. I thought about doing that - what a great opportunity! - but all of a sudden my mind went blank about all the songs I'd love to hear. The people around me were yelling for Trouble, but I felt like it would be rude, when you could ask for any song you wanted, to request a song by someone else. What do y'all think?
