    -Before Ed came out, his lady introduced him onstage...in one of those white coats. She didn't refer to herself as Mrs. Eddie Vedder in any way, so a lot of the crowd mightn't have known exactly who she was, but Jill made a humourous introduction and showed her Irish roots with a strong 'Irish' word and made great use of it.  :o=) 

    I'm sorry to ruin it for you but it wasn't Jill.

    Who was it?
    I'm pretty sure it was someone from the crew? In Dublin she said to "not use your mobile devices, unlike those C**ts in London". Bit harsh but was mostly observed after that...
    She is the girlfriend of Simon the guitar tech

    Ed did say he'd be seeing Stone soon before playing Black, new album/tour?

    Yep, that wasn't Eddie's lady. Apologies. Seems a few made that mistake near the front - Whoever that person was, it was a good introduction and her use of c*** was immaculate!

    I thought Cork was going to be a let down after Dublin.  Happy to be wrong.  If anyone has a large cork t-shirt let me know.  Sold out early.

    SHOW COUNT: (170) 1990's=3, 2000's=53, 2010/20's=114, US=124, CAN=15, Europe=20 ,New Zealand=4, Australia=5

    Great show! Better than expected. It was like a festival crowd but on a small scale.

    As for the complaints about the crowd- (I'm not Irish BTW)
    Yeah, there was a lot of moving around and some talking but hey, it's Ireland. If there's one thing I've learned after living here for 13 years is that the Irish don't follow rules closely. You can find that endearing or get pissed off by it. I figured it was going to be a bit chaotic with it being a big GA tent with only a limited seating on the sides. If Eddie wanted the show to be a quiet, intimate performance he wouldn't have chosen it as the venue. Crowd was bananas and he was clearly feeding off of it.

    So how do you get your head around after a show LIKE THAT? 
    After meeting Ed again? And Glen, on top of that? 
    After queuing, meeting friends, making new ones, after the whole day, night, after this overall mindblowing experience?

    How?

    I'm pretty sure it was someone from the crew? In Dublin she said to "not use your mobile devices, unlike those C**ts in London". Bit harsh but was mostly observed after that...
    She is the girlfriend of Simon the guitar tech
    Her name is Liz Burns. She is Pearl Jam's production manager. Also she is married to Simon Good, guitar tech to both Glen and Ed.

    Not in the same league as the Dublin show.... place was full of ignorant fuckers who wouldn't shut the fuck up when Eddie was trying to say something.....and it was pretty badly organised too. Disappointed to say the least.......
    Was slightly off front-left and had a really bad crowd experience. A fight and everything broke out and hostility coming from all sides. The fact that it's been 20 years since PJ last played Cork and the Live at the Marquee shows bring out non-music fans for their "one gig of the year" goes some way to explaining it but was still really surprised. I've lived in Cork a long time and never witnessed such aggression at a concert.

    Mentally managed to wrap a bubble around myself and enjoy Ed's set which says so much about the man and the songs but need to head off and see him somewhere else again soon.

    Wish I could've done the bubble thing too, but I was so pissed off at times. I still loved a lot of the set. Eddie and Glen have so much talent and integrity and the bond they have between them really comes through, but I was literally surrounded by people who didn't have a clue who was on the stage, let alone any of the songs....apart from Black, which they proceeded to murder btw! I saw The Frames at the Marquee a couple of years ago and there was none of that bullshit at all.......certainly no fighting!

    It always saddens me when other people didn't/couldn't enjoy the show the way I did. I had the most amazing time I could ever imagine...

    That sounds brutal lads. The noise coming from behind us up at the rail was unreal, even during the songs. We were very lucky with the people around us and it helped being beside the stage speakers.  I'm not sure if Ed is best suited to these larger venues. We had a nightmare in Dublin and we had great seats in Block D.  Never seen anything like it, the talking, climbing over seats, people in an out all night from the second song, the amount of very drunk people. The fella beside me fell asleep, practically on top of me. Unfortunately, it definitely took away from it. Luckily for us, Cork more than made up for it and it was truly amazing.

    It's mad, I feel about the Dublin gig the way you feel about the Cork one. It's amazing the difference the people around you can make to an experience like that. Sorry to hear you had a bad one in Dublin, but glad that Cork made up for it....
