I know obviously PJ are about all the members but if for once he came out alone to start a PJ show what would you like to hear him play? I had this thought listening to Footsteps and pictured him walking out from the dark and strumming the opening chords and blowing into the harmonica. I think the atmosphere would be incredible for this... :D

    Yeah, after Philip Glass fades out just to wander out on his own.

    No thanks. Sorry, full band gotta open the show (besides the pre-sets). It doesn't get much better than "Release." As strange as it was, "Betterman" in Cleveland in 2006 was pretty cool. Just Eddie with the crowd singing, then the full band kicking in. That might work again.

    Saw/heard him play 'Dead Man' prior to Kansas City 2003. Sun was out, was wearing his Riot Act era fedora. Haunting song. I think he played this at one of the solo shows I went to in 08', 11'

    He did it at the Vic 10C show in Chicago. He played:

    Trouble
    Dead Man
    I used to work in Chicago
    All the Way
    Picture in a Frame

    It was fuckin great!

    I'd just be happy if he started the pre-set songs again.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I'd like for him to save his voice for the Pearl Jam show.

    EV opening for his own band would be super anticlimactic.

    Same thing I do when X is on, go out in the parking lot and drink.

    It's a different story if he comes out and sings with the opener. That's fun.
