Dammit!!
What did Stone say to Ed during Yellow Ledbetter that had him laughing so?!
Not knowing is killing me!

Joined the pit to try to shed some light on your question!

I was 10th row floor centre - and what I saw was Stone first look over at Boom who had a smoke dangling out of his mouth behind the keys, and then Stone walked over to Ed, and must have told him something about Boom becuase I saw Ed look at Boom when he started laughing....but then again I was drunk, smoking and laughing too!

I guess I should add that of the dozen times I've seen them, the Toronto 2 gig really stands out because its the only other time since their second day 92 Lollapolloza set at Pine Knob in Michigan that I saw the entire band have that much fun through a whole show!

I'm betting night 2 at the Gorge will top the tour.....see any and all y'all there!

yep, it was one for the books. Great set and I loved all of the improv and tags thrown in throughout the night.


Useless piece of trivia: Eddie was wearing the same shirt (Love and Rockets) during this show that he wore during the September Toronto show. Guess there wasn't any time to unpack when they came off the road in Dec!

I posted up a review of the second show on my blog, along with the pics. This weekend I'm going to post up a link to the video I took of Indifference and Yellow Ledbetter with the Beast Of Burden tag.

...yeah thats right another shameless plug of my blog. btw thanks to all who visited my blog from the Toronto one thread, I had tonns of hits from this message board.

I think this must be part of this visual (RustyGuitar's pictures - great pics btw)

I was there too, but far enough back on the floor that i had no idea what was cracking them up - it was funny

did the 'cinnamon girl' bit after i got id get cut from the official bootlegs, as ed mentioned at the show???

While Tuesday's show was good, they seemed a little tight. You know... kicking off the world tour jitters & all.
But Wednesday....... holy shit!!!!!! They came out & just totally kicked ass.
Right from the get go the energy was completely different from the night before.
It was the.... well the first show is out of the way.... let's giv'er!!!!!!
It just might be the best show I've ever seen them do.
It's deffinately a show that should be a dvd. I had a vantage point that only 40 or so others had.
I was front row for both shows!!!!! Pretty much centred too!
They were all just having fun up there. It was spectacular!
I hope before they end their tour, they come back thru here.
Give us T.O fans another 2 shows. ( That would be awsome)


The only negitive for the 2 nights was the fight outside the ACC.
Over a t-shirt, too much drinking & a pre-madonna bitch who decided to cry wolf when security got involved.

To the guy who got the worst of it from over zealous wanna be cops:
I hope that you're okay man!!!!!!!!

I think it worked out in the end

we gave witness statements to security and the police actually called us about 1 am to confirm everything

I think they figured out that the little shrimpkin yelling guy was a turd hat - the whole thing was like something from jerry springer - which is where that couple belonged

they were right in front of the mmj bus as well

I was so shocked to see that at a pearl jam show - we folks just aren't like that are we!

you know the schmuck guy came after us too for making a comment?

I was really upset with security too - the guy they went after was just a young guy who had been to a great show - they really took him down hard

It was kind of a wierd night. Some dude a few rows over from me started pissing in the crowd. Security took him down and worked him over pretty good. He disapeared during Even Flow, then he showed up during Crazy Mary, dancing in the aisle with his head wrapped in gauze. He was doing some interpretive dance, when he fell down 10-15 steps. Finally security lifted him out of there.

Listening to the boot I can only now appreciate just how solid this version of RVM is for this show. Probably the best I've heard.

I have complete video of Indifference and Yellow Ledbetter from nite two and I also have Rockin In The Free World from nite one both recorded from fourth row centre. I also have my pics posted in my photo album section. Here are the links to my blog entries about them:
