02. Low Light
03. Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town
04. Breakerfall
05. Corduroy
06. Hail, Hail
07. Animal
(Greets the audience and looks to see if anyone is on the roof. “Great to be back on hallowed ground and I don’t mean just Wrigley Field but Chicago. Ed says “I am thinking about those players out here in those uniforms and how hot they must be. I am not even wearing underwear and I’m burning up out here.” Ed lets the audience know they will be playing some songs they don’t play very often. Ed is also grateful that the people in the neighborhood have allowed people to camp out while they wait to get inside)
08. Getaway
(Before we get too far into the show I just want to say that the Foo Fighters were here a little while ago and they had some issues. Ed wants to make sure that the men treat women with complete respect.)
09. Leaving Here-(Holland, Holland, Dozier)
10. Present Tense
11. Even Flow (while soloing Mike goes out and sits on the barricade and shreds to the delight of the audience)
“Here we are in the home of the Blues and Mike McCready brings it. And this guy who was in some great bands between us and Soundgarden. He is the best pitcher, catcher, first baseman, Mr. Matt Cameron”
12. Missing-(Cornell)
13. Garden
14. Not For You / Modern Girl-(Sleater Kinney) 2:00 min tag (Ed asks the audience to say hi to Joe Madden and gets them singing “Hey Joe” and “Pino, Pino”-Ed talks about coming here as a little kid on the El and counting the stops. It was all so fucking simple and joyful and I sure found joy in this place”)
15. Can’t Deny Me
16. Wishlist
(I Wish Ernie Banks was still with us, I wish Walter Payton was still with us…(he lists several more athletes and announcers. Ed wants to tell the audience about the guitar he is holding. “I have never taken it onstage before. It was given to me by Tom Petty. I know he had a great time playing here last here. I know the show was special. I want you to know how important it was to Tom and the Heartbreakers…” He asks the audience to light up their phones for
Tom.)
17. I Won't Back Down-(Lynne, Petty)-(played on a guitar gifted to Ed by Tom Petty. First appearance on stage with Pearl Jam)
18. Porch-(Ed wears a Rizzo 44 jersey. Looks like Ed gave the shirt to someone on the barricade)
Encore Break One
(Ed chats with the audience about hanging around and rain delays. He checked the score and is a little mad at the Pirates although he likes the colors and mentions Roberto Clemente. He knows a lot of hall of fame people and talks about meeting Laura who is in the LGBTQ Hall of Fame and she met her wife at the rain delay show)
19. Just Breathe
(Ed doesn’t think a ukulele has ever been played at center field. Can we get a ukulele? Dennis Rodman brings out a uke for Ed. He sits on Ed’s stool and thanks the Chicago audience who supported him when he was getting so much flak for traveling to North Korea. He loves the place and swears he will be buried here. Ed asks him to make sure to delay that day as long as possible)
20. Sleeping By Myself
21. Footsteps
22. State Of Love And Trust
23. Breath (Ed sings from the barricade)
(Mr. Stone Gossard on the guitar. And we got a big man with a big heart and you know what the means! Mr Boom Gasper. Ed encourages the audience to vote. No matter the size of the hands or the bank account we are all equal. Everybody voting is the most important thing we can do. Get the numbers higher than any of the bullshit they can come up with. Ed slightly references possible vote tampering)
24. Know Your Rights-(Strummer, Jones)
25. Do The Evolution
(Would you like to hear one more we don’t usually play or should we keep going?)
26. Alone (Mike uses his vocal stand as a slide at the top of the solo)
27. Rearviermirror
Encore Break Two
(“Is everybody out there? Fuck Yeah! Can we talk Cubs for a second. Ed chats enthusiastically about the team and thanks Tom Rickets who was instrumental in getting the band to play after the rain delay. Ed says there have been some changes since the last time we played. Tom comes out and unveils the world championship trophy. Ed has a video of David Bote hitting a home run played on the screens and the band plays.)
28. Rebel Rebel-(Bowie)
29. Better Man /Save It For Later-(Charley, Cox, Morton, Steele, Wakeling) :30 second tag with outro jam
30. Alive
31. Rockin' In The Free World-(Young)

Good show.
Great sound (140 section). Not the most rocking crowd, but everyone around us was cool.
Ed sounded good all night. Rebel Rebel is not my favorite song, but Ed nailed the vocals.
My highlights: Missing, Know Your Rights, Getaway, Won’t Back Down sing-along.
Thank you PJ!0 -

This show was so damned solid. In 106, got my face melted on the McCready side. Would have loved some of the songs scratched off but I got more than I expected from the boys.0
