Set List

Opening Band Mudhoney


Walk On Music: Pendulumorphosis
01. Of The Girl
02. Hard To Imagine
03. Nothingman
04. LIghtning Bolt-(from the new album “Lightning Bolt”)
05. Corduroy
06. Mind Your Manners-(from the new album “Lightning Bolt”)
07. Animal
(Ed knows how difficult it was for the band and crew to get to Calgary for the show and thought that only 2500 or 3000 people would show up tonight so he toasts the hardy Calgary people for braving the blizzard and coming to the show. He also notes that one of the great bands ever, Mudhoney, travelled for 13 hours to come play for 30 minutes so he toasts them as well.)

08. Red Mosquito

(some in crowd chant for Stone. Ed warns them that it will only make Mike play harder which is a frightening prospect. The crowd then chants for Mike. Ed asks a guy up front what his name is. He then starts chanting Scott.
Ed mentions that a couple of close friends moved to Calgary earlier in the year, just in time for the floods. Ed salutes all the folks that had to get moved to higher ground and those that had to clean up. He notes how great the Saddledome looks after the repairs.
This song is about getting to higher ground)

09. I Am Mine
10. Wishlist
11. Even Flow
12. Sirens w/ sing along outro-(from the new album “Lightning Bolt”)
13. Given To Fly
14. Infallible-(from the new album “Lightning Bolt”)
15. Do The Evolution
(Ed talks about how important Neil Young was to helping the band through good times and bad times. This next song was written with him.)
16. I Got ID {Ed sings two lines of “Cinnamon Girl”-(Young)}
(Here is to rat free Alberta)
17. Rats
18. State Of Love And Trust
(Ed throws his mic down into the audience and some guy sings the oh oh part)
19. Lukin
20. Better Man/Save It For Later-(Charley, Cox, Morton, Steele, Wakeling)
(while Mike is on laying on the floor soloing Ed comes over and lays back down on top of him. When Ed climbs off Mike grabs his leg)

Encore Break 1

(Ed tells a story about going to the doctor and being asked how much he drinks. He thinks initially that he only has a glass of wine or two every once in awhile. Then he thought well he has a couple of glasses of wine a day and some beer and then when he is working...
This next song is by a man I was lucky enough to share a few of bottles of wine with a few years ago. His name was Lou Reed)

21. After Hours-(Reed)
22. Sleight Of Hand

(This next song if for my friends Pete and Jen Lightbody. You wouldn’t necessarily know by listening to it but this song is about a couple whose children have grown up and moved out and them getting to spend time together alone.)

23. Future Days
24. Daughter (Ed sings “hush now baby don’t your cry” twice. Possible reference to “Mother” by Pink Floyd. It doesn’t follow the melody)
25. Last Exit

(Ed has the house lights turned up so they can point out a young boy named Jaxon that has a video of him playing drums to “Mind Your Manners”. Ed say that in twenty years they will come back and play the same place and open for Jaxon’s band)

26. Go
27. Porch

Encore Break 2

(Ed toasts all the snow plow drivers and road salters in Calgary that allowed people to come to the show tonight. He laments the puny snowplow armada of Seattle (two).
He then sings a little bit of “Mr. Plow” from “The Simpsons”)

28. Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town (played to audience behind the stage)
29. Crazy Mary-(Williams)
30. Alive
31. Fuckin’ Up-(Young)
32. Indifference

    Wow! Crowd showed up and it was a great show. Didn't' have GA, but stood at the rail that separated the reserved floor seats from GA. Great place to watch a show, never thought I'd watch from the rail :lol:

    This show was unbelievably great in the energy department. The crowd brought it and the band brought it. The set list speaks for itself...

    Be safe everyone. That is a memory worth life gaurding...

    Absolutely incredible show! There was a surprisingly large turnout given the meteorological phenomenon they call a blizzard in these parts. The band rewarded us well for turning out.

    This may well have moved itself into the running for my favorite show ever.

    Thanks Robb and Anna for sharing time with us as well!

    Incredible band, incredible fans...

    I can't even say this is a complaint, but if I had one they should have closed the entire show with Better Man. Wow what a just remarkable extended jam on it, some terrific playing from everyone. Nice to see Animal and Red Mosquito, and this is I believe the third time in a row they've played Rats in Calgary. Its nice not having them in Alberta unless Pearl Jam is playing it. Terrific crowd energy, loud all night and pretty much full despite the conditions. Can't wait for Friday.

    Exhausted, need to sleep.....but I have to say, Eddie needs to stop drinking so much. When he's actually licking wine up off the stage, it's not funny anymore.

    7th show, first time seeing them in Calgary. Great set list, lots of ebb and flow so to speak that worked really well. The crowd in the GA pit were fantastic. I was a few rows back on mikes side. The band is on fire for sure right now and they look like they're all having a really good time just playing. Well worth the four hour plane delay

    Well, no Crazy Mary for Vancouver. Damn, I was hoping to finally see that. Oh well, maybe still hope for Insignificance or Nothing As It Seems for my birthday show on Wednesday.

    Damn fine setlist for Calgary. Kudos to you guys for everyone who got to the show. Will be Sunny in Vancouver, so no blizzard here.

    Sucked to see the empty 10C seats around us due to the weather.

    6th show for me and it's the second time I've gotten of the girl as an opener :-)

    Great show from section 109, so many gems and it had a great flow especially in the main set. The sound was great where we were even though we had been warned that the saddledome wasn't built well for sound. Energy was great as well and no drunk dudes around me which is always a plus.

    Highlight. For me was sleight of hand... It's kind of been my go to song the last little while, was awesome to hear it live for the first time.

    Onward and upward to vancouver and Seattle!
    Enjoy difference. Without it we're all boring!

    Really for as bad as things looked, the conditions within the city of Calgary weren't that terrible. Just needed some extra time to commute but the roads weren't awful. Really the only people who probably didn't make it were those who were coming from other places in the province (Edmonton, Lethbridge etc..) Can't say the same this morning, things are much worse today. Hopefully the band and the trucks have no issues getting to Vancouver.

    Lightning Bolt
    blew the doors off the place;
    absolutely the highlight of the show for me.

    Sleight of Hand gets the silver medal;
    I haven't heard that live since '05!

    Red Mosquito-
    that is all.

    My stepson is officially a convert;
    in his words: I walked in an Eddie Vedder fan,
    + I am now a Pearl Jam fan.

    After Animal + Go, he is psyched to check out the Vs. album.

    Love to all that made it,
    prayers + sympathy to all that didn't.
    Here's hoping that whatever happened,
    at least we're all safe n' sound.

    Cheers.
    'Cause you don't give blood and take it back again.

    I agree with prljamgirl I saw the Oakland show and he was hammered. Just saying. I can imagine that it is stressful to preform and he can still rock out while hammered. We just want him to be healthy and around for a very long time ;)

    Yeah I agree Eddie needs to slow down on his drinking. He's been really drunk the last few times I've seen him, starting with Virgin Fest where he was absolutely shit-faced. Getting tired of it. Love the man as much as the next fan, but it's gotten out of hand.

    Other than that I had possibly the best seats I've ever gotten. We were just 4 rows up on mike's side and I was in seat 1; right on the aisle. I was exactly 2 seats in front of the little drummer kid Eddie pointed out in the crowd who was one of Matt's special guests. I had an unobstructed view of the stage. Only obstruction I had was when Mike was standing at or near his mic there was a camera in the way. But when he came down and stood on the little corner riser at the front of the stage, he was like right there. I've been as close as 4th row centre, but I really liked these seats even more. A little higher up and no one next to me, or in front of me.

    Finally got to hear Of the Girl, I Got ID, Hard to Imagine and Indifference.

    Mike's guitar work on Even Flow was astounding. Crazy Mary was a highlight, as well.

    First time they didn't end one of my shows with Yellow. Ledbetter, lol. But the streak continues with Given to Fly and Even Flow!

    Oh and Matt is a F'n machine!
