    great show aside from jackasses screaming dumb stuff, i think everyone here covered the whole show.......

    BTW - if anyone plans on witing in line early for posters, shirts, zippos, and whatnot - let me inform u folks of what happened before the doors opened :

    naturally, everyone lined up early as usual, there were lots of people waiting for a long time, and we got in line at 530, about 50th in line - security walkie talkie man told us doors would open at 730....everyone around us including us were thinking WTF? So we're going to wait out here for 2 hrs? So whatever, people hung out, went to quiznos or whatever - but, heres the bummer -

    at about 725, the doors opened and a whole bunch of people that DIDNT wait in line just smashed their way into the front doors, these were people that were just standing in front of the theater, had no respect for any of the 300 + people in line, and even worse, security didnt give a shit. I know a lot of people waited in that line for a long time, only to get cut off by cheaters who are "better" than those of us waiting in line.

    bottom line - AWESOME SHOW - Shitty SD folk.........but thats my opinion and my feelings on it.

    .......but nothing will ever top Berk2 show!!!!!

    ...the crowd was LAME! After the boisterous rowdiness that was both LA shows, this San Diego crowd was practically mute, like they didn't even want Eddie to be there! .

    I might actually prefer that after LA ... "Foosteps!!! Play Footsteps!!!" "Dissident!!!!!" "Play Patriot! Play I am a Patriot."

    It was easy to ignore for half the show ... but all night long, holy fuck that was annoying. I don't know how Ed puts up with you people. Seriously.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
    for the least they could possibly do

    even tho it may sound kinda wrong - but if you do want to buy something, i suggest you DONT wait 2, 3, 4 hours and just cheat like those assholes

    SERIOUSLY - some people need to get slapped and just STFU - like someone else said, no one came to hear those jackasses, we all came to see ed, liam & EJ - but im sure Ed and the rest of the crew (especially the merch guys, quote from long haired merch dude : "This Fukn sucks!!!") are glad its almost done.

    I'm not worried about getting overpriced merch today. If I see something I really like I'm gonna buy it on EBAY.

    ...Because we all know that all the merch will be available on EBAY by tommorow morning.


    Can't wait for tonight!

    I was very happy to see all of the folks who came in for Liam and Eliza Jane's set! The younger Finn rocked the house in his own way. He displayed his chops on guitar and drums with Ed, also!

    Eddie's guitar tech comes out wearing the white lab coat. I think he resembles Ed ever so slightly on a glance to the side. Eddie may need someone to care for him after he announces that he's grandly hung-over. When you tell someone that your HAIR hurts - it's got to be bad. BUT if you had fun; it was all worth it.

    When someone yelled, "Stay classy San Diego!" I think it set the tone for Eddie needing some, hair-of-the-dog. The bronze bat-wings even looked kind of slumped over and sluggish. Using his 'condition' to his advantage; he started doing stand-up comedy. The crowd was miraculously quiet to the point that you could actually HEAR what Ed was saying! This is a rarity to anyone who's been to a concert where very little chat could be deciphered.

    I considered it more of a treat and a platform for Vedder to say what was on his mind at the moment, what he wanted - when he wanted. (The little tangent with the Barry White song was very funny!) The crowd responded in-kind. All-in-all it was a respectful audience. He wanted us to keep the roar down to a decent level. We cleared the way for a guy who hadn't slept enough, to go on and entertain the hell out of us!
    Everyone is born, but not everyone is born the same. Some will grow to be butchers, or bakers, or candlestick makers. Some will only be really good at making Jell-O salad. One way or another, though, every human being is unique, for better or for worse.

    hey everyone, i've been lurkin here for awhile and the totally awesome preformance last night has motivated me to join the fun. i went to the show with my dad, a long time pj fan and 10c member. we roll up to the theater and get our ticks from the will call table...5th row dead center! doors opened later than i would have expected. i picked up a poster and some stickers and went to find my seats. the venue was amazing...so small, beautiful artwork. liam finn was really good, his surfer jam was out of control. around 9: 15ish, a weird cover version of Elderly woman(anyone figure out who was singing that) came on and ed walked out. you all know the setlist and have heard the best of the stories...though i think you guys left the part of the barry white thing where eddie went, " IM AN ICE CREAM CONE LICKIN BAD MOTHERFUCKA!" he was hilarious. i was expecting the crowd to be a lot worse than it was from what i read on here, but it wasnt that bad. if anyone got out of hand, eddie shut them up.masters of war was immaculate. i was kinda surprised to see the lack of singing on No More, but it was all good. this was probably the best show i have, and ever will see in my entire life and i feel blessed to have seen it. i am praying for anytype of recording to surface. oh, and during the downtime after liams set, i reached under my seat to get my water and i found an EV guitar pick...pretty sweet

    still digesting last night's amazing show. Met some great people before the show and the fund-raiser and trying to get my arse back there in a few minutes...hoping SD 2 was just as perfect as SD 1. Just wanted to throw a big thank you to the 10c and EV himself for giving us this once in a lifetime opportunity.

    Another great quote . . .Ed was talking about conservatives, and his quote was something like "Compassionate Conservative . . .that's like saying Male Chauvinist Lesbian"

    LOL. I also loved Eddie's impression of how exactly that would be performed on someone.

    I know some folks have mentioned that the crowd last night was a little low key, but I think out of respect for Eddie, we were just trying to contain ourselves and be good to him. After all, he was giving us everything he had and more, and I was just in awe to be there to see him- my friend and I were second row, center. Definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity!

    :D eddie should do a standup tour next....dude is a riot :D

    and the crowd was ok but maybe it was who was around me.....i mean it's ok during porch to get up and rock....it's required to scream "NO MORE" as loud as you can....i wasn't getting much of that towards the back....but if you were up front and felt it then all is good...:)


    I WANNA GO TONIGHT!!!! :(

    ...BTW, I thought that all the Shhhh'ing was more annoying than the random shouts.

    ...

    The venue was really cool, but the feel of the show was even better...I felt like it would feel no different if we were in a living room and he was just playing on an acoustic drinking that red juice of his...as long as the living room were designed like a theatre.

    He absolutely NAILED Masters of War. I mean nailed it!

    Rise was my own personal highlight, even though he fucked up the last line of the song, its quite possibly the most uplifting song I have every heard. Hearing it live was like putting a face to a name.

    *Comedic note: Ed started smoking a cigarette before the Barry WHite thing..someone shouts, "What are you smoking!?" to which Ed replies (very quickly), "Something goooood."

    I'm Open was also an absolute treat. I didn't see that one coming at ALL!

    He opened I Am Mine with a little instrumental that just sounded very very cool (anyone notice how he played that?) It was simple, but I really liked it.

    And I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but before he started one of his songs, he did about a 10-15 second snippet of Photographs (bonus track from Itunes). I was thrilled about that!!

    I had no expectations heading into the show. I think that allowed me to truly enjoy the experience of the "experiment". I also thought that the seated crowd was great. I've never ever sat at a concert before...I relate it to being in a classroom, just soaking in a lecture or a discussion that you actually cared about. Remember those? I feel like I was able to retain the experience more in that respect.
    Thanks...
    can't keep me here...

    Okay, so the show kicked ass. Eddie was super funny. But first, here's the cool part: 10C screwed up some of the seats, and put my girlfriend and I in separate rows (she was right in front of me). Well, we politely complained (I tried being very nice, as normally I don't make a big deal about these things) and THEY PUT US IN THE FRONT ROW!!!!!! It was crazy.

    The same thing happened to my mom and me. We just asked the 10C girls about it when we picked up the tickets and they didn't know what was going on so we just accepted it. It was ok though because we were in the third and forth rows (behind each other) left orch on the isle (near center)!!!! They were awesome seats because they were at an angle so no one was in front of us. Thanks 10C!!!!
    The show was amazing! It is the only one for me on this tour and I could not have asked for anything else. Ed was sooooo funny the entire time and his voice sounded great.
    At first, I was a little disappointed that there were no "special guests" like the other shows but then I realized that it was cool because we probably wouldn't have gotten to hear Patriot or Rock 'n' Roll Star (my third time hearing it).
    Everyone pretty much mentioned all the other highlights but the whole show was beautiful!
    THANKS EDDIE!!!!!!!!!!
    If I had known then what I know now...
