Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead
decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter
he grew a beard.
just wondering what the time liam finn and eddie hit the stage? was liam worth it? did the posters sell out mad quick (i dont even try anymore)?
Liam 7:30
Ed 8:40
And YES! I can't stress this anymore... LIAM FINN is worth it! I don't see the reason for spending money on a ticket to miss half the show... an unbelievable half at that.
And posters didn't sell out... at all I think. I believe you could buy them on the way out. They really brought enough for the entire venue I think.
3 Decibels Doubles the Volume
2006
I got there at 6:15 and picked up my tix ... solid orchestra. Not as good as I would have hope for, but awesome all the same. I was sitting between 10C members who were 100,000 higher and lower than me on each side, so apparently the seating was pretty random. While I picked up my tix, I stepped inside for a moment and heard Liam and EJ soundchecking ... they sounded awesome, which only got me more stoked.
But before I ever got inside, I had to walk 2 blocks to stand at the end of a rather long line of people waiting to get in. The line eventually started rolling at about 6:45. I had to wait for a few minutes for my buddy to meet me, but he showed up at 7pm and we headed in. (To the guys who were waiting against the fence with me ... I hope your friends made it!)
As soon as we got in, I headed to the merch table and picked up an EV poster, as I hoped to avoid a repeat of the MSG debacle. As it turned out, there was no reason to worry ... plenty of posters for all! They were still selling them after the show. My buddy picked up two beers, but just as we started sipping them and making our way to the orchestra doors, a woman passed out and dropped to the floor. I am an EMT, so I dropped my poster and rushed over to see if I could help. One of the mindful staff members called 911 and stabilized the woman's head. I introduced myself, and offered to help with the scene until the ambulance arrived. Thankfully, the woman regained consciousness and her vital signs all appeared to be normalizing by the time the ambulance arrived. To gauge her consciousness, I asked her where she was and why she was there. She responded, "I am at the United Palace Theatre in New York City, and I'm here to rock out with Eddie Vedder!" I had to laugh, and replied, "I think that's why we're all here ... and I really hope you'll get to stick around see the show!" The ambulance crew that took her seemed capable and professional. I don't know if she was able to stay for the show, or went to the hospital, but my prayers are with her and I certainly hope she is doing well.
After all this excitement, I picked up my poster (miraculously unharmed!), and my buddy and I picked up our programs and settled into our seats. We sat in Orchestra H, 22-24, around a cool crew of folks. The people behind us were really rocking out and were clearly awesome fans. The couple to our right were also pretty rocking.
Liam and EJ came out and played a freaking awesome set. I apologize to the poor woman in front of me who jumped 3 feet when I screamed as Liam started Second Chance. Hopefully we can all agree that the song is amazing! The Happy Birthday tribute for their road manager was really cute and the whole crowd got into it. Liam and EJ were even good sports when some dude shouted out "Flight of the Concords!" They agreed to adopt the personas of Liam's fellow New Zealanders (this was an even grander gesture by Ms. Barnes, who I'm told is Australian), but then quickly began arguing over which one of them is Jerome. Apparently Bret is not too popular with the Kiwis or the Aussies.
I hit the men's room after Liam's set and ended up next to a sorta weird looking middle-aged dude with a bandage on his head. I could be absolutely, totally wrong, but for a moment i was sure it was Daniel Johnston. Anyone know if he was there?!
After a short break, Eddie came out and opened with Walking the Cow and then Trouble. Lest the crowd think it was going to be a night of covers, he then plowed into one of the most powerful performances of I Am Mine I've ever heard. At some point early on, he made a crack about how cool the crowd was and that he was thankful that, "we left all the assholes back in Boston." As if on cue, 2 minutes later some guy stands up in the middle of his row and, when one of the guys behind him asks him to sit, he whirls around and starts screaming expletives and threatening the guy physically. Security moved quickly to intervene, but the asshole kept shouting and threatening the other guy, until the engineer behind the soundboard turned to his right and called him out and then threatened to throw the asshole out. I'm not sure who it was working the board, but THANK YOU!! Your involvement quickly ended what was starting to escalate into an ugly situation, and made the concert far more enjoyable for all of us in that area. I'd be remiss if I didn't add that the sound was AMAZING! The bass came through without getting distorted or clipping, and the vocals all came through clearly and crisply. It's a damn shame that there's no bootleg off the board for this one ... Eddie and Liam both sounded phenomenal.
Which brings me to Eddie's voice. From what I can tell from the West Coast boots and setlists, tonight's show was definitely shorter (probably due to the fact that Ed admitted he's still on meds), but Eddie sounded amazing. Without having to shout over the entire band, it seemed he was able to relax his voice a little more and fine tune the musicianship. He was pitch-perfect for nearly every note, culminating in the climactic and moving rendition of Arc at the end of Encore 1.
I've got to get up early for work, so I"ll wrap up with my highlights, in chronological order:
1. Liam and EJ rocking Second Chance
2. Ed ripping through I Am Mine
3. The uke vs. mandolin lesson
4. Walk Hard (from Dewey Cox ... I was LMAO)
5. Hide Your Love Away ... right into PORCH!!
6. ARC (whoever said it was a religious experience was dead on)
7. LMLOTD (w/ the guys and girls sing-along)
8. Society w/ Liam (though I would liked to hear more harmony from Liam)
9. Masters of War
10. Hard Sun w/ Liam and EJ
I also met this awesome rocking woman on the 1 train home. I got off at 110, you headed down to 66th ... we bonded over PJ concerts and I marveled at her good fortune to have seen The Who with Moonie. She was the one who told me how sick Ed had been in Boston and that while he sounded great tonight, she was dissapointed that he didn't talk more or play some more songs. I guess when your expectations are THAT high, even tonight's kickass performance can fall short.
That's it for now, but damn, what a great night.
Thank you again to everyone on stage, behind stage, and sitting out in front of the stage. Tonight was magic.

It sounded better than the movie's version
that is an understatement
my favorite pete solo song and eddie hit the fucker over the GW bridge

Ed's voice was golden tonight. ARC was incredible. I'd read about how he'd done this song at other shows, but you really can't imagine it. You've got to hear it. And his guitar playing--man! Remember all those threads back in the day debating whether he should put the guitar down and just sing? Glad he didn't. He's become so good! Don't know how six guitar strings can sound like 30. But I can only play the "Smoke on the Water" riff and the beginning of "Garden".
From where I sat, the crowd behaved itself for the most part. Other than a few "I love you, Eddie!"s between songs; a few people going up to the stage, now and then, with their camera phones; and a lot of people rushing the stage during "Hard Sun," nothing to complain about. Early on, a guy shouted, "I love you," and Ed said, "I'd say I love you back, but I can't see who you are. I don't want to respond to the wrong person. My other boyfriends might get jealous."
The crowd clapped a rhythm a lot (and kept time pretty well). It sang along with the Pearl Jam songs. And Pete Townshend's "Let My Love Open the Door" was a hilight. Ed had the guys sing the low "Let my love open the door" and the girls sing the high "Oooh-oooh".
At the end of the show, Ed seemed very happy with the NYC crowd. He'd commented in the beginning of the show how the "assholes must have stayed in Boston" (sorry Boston fans; just relaying what the man said). He came to the front of the stage and shook hands. Of course, fans from rows 2-10 rushed the stage to get in on the hand-shaking.
"Hard Sun"'s backing track was too loud, unfortunately, for the venue or the speakers. But Ed, Liam, and Eliza seemed to enjoy themselves during the song. And it felt like a party anyway.
All-in-all, I feel very fortunate to have been at that show. After I'd tried (and failed) to win tickets to the NYC Paramount show in '94, I joined the Ten Club. Who knew, 14 years and 14 shows later, I'd get the opportunity and privilege of sharing such an intimate and wonderful experience like this with 3,500 other fans.
--e.v. "All Night"
Sometimes- I've always wanted to hear this and it sounded great solo.
Let My Love Open the Door- great song and it was funny how Ed made the crowd sing it in a deep voice
Porch- its just a classic.
What a great night (besides missing Liam and my seats). Can't wait until tomorrow- hoping for a couple of different songs.

You missed Liam? :eek: You HAVE to see him tomorrow! He is awesome! I saw 3 shows on the West Coast tour and was sad when Liam finished his set. He was so amazing!
Lucky you though! Sounded like another great show tonight!

You will LOVE him (and EJ too!)
arc - oh man - brilliant - moving - can't imagine it
sometimes !!
trouble - just loved it
let my love open the door - such a great moment/singalong
I even loved when eddie messed up hard sun
i thought all the banter was great: the "cold turkey headache," the text message comment, the new york city talk, "glad to see we left the a****** 's in boston" - haha - all of it! he seemed in good spirits.
I honestly didn't think the crowd was so bad, but my husband said he had a real jackass sitting behind him way in the back. Lots of people getting up and down though - for beer or bathroom, i don't know - i just can't imagine leaving such a fantastic show for anything.
confession: i ran to the stage to shake the man's hand - missed by a few inches
got my poster, playbill, zippo, and memories. bedtime. what a great night!!
Anyway---fantastic show!!! Sometimes was incredible, Masters of War was the highlight of the night for me, Arc was great, Far Behind and Rise were the best of the Into the Wild songs....EVERYTHING! Everything was incredible.
This was one of the best overall concert-going experiences I've ever had, not only because of the show itself, but the fact that I got to shake Ed's hand! I was there at the stage door when he got off his bus. I really had no idea what to say to him...I blanked....so I just went with "Nice to meet you." He shook everyone's hand and was very gracious. My friends that couldn't make it are incredibly jealous!

Just one thing... she's an Aussie, not a Kiwi (us antipodeans are rather particular about these things, lol)
Tonight's show was absolutely phenomenal. So glad I got to experience it, it was really special and intimate. I loved Ed's banter about not being able to say "I love you" back cause he couldn't see who he was saying it to and he didn't want to offend/upset all his other boyfriends
What a show!!! I loved the West Coast EV shows I saw in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles but this one blew them out of the water.
Hearing Sometimes for only the 2nd time ever out of 44 PJ shows and now 4 EV shows was amazing. Wishlist with Ed singing the Mike solo was great. I was cracking up during Walk Hard. I'll never get tired of the ITW songs and Millworker and Trouble. Masters of War and Arc floored me as usual, but the highlight above all else was seeing Let My Love Open the Door. I love that song and just to see it in that environment with everyone singing in such a tiny venue was insane.
After seeing this show tonight, now I know why I'm being crazy and flying to Chicago to catch the final two shows. There's no way I want to miss them.

Great 7th row 10c seats (thank you,thank you)
Liam Finn won me over big time. Talented Mofo. Its worth going in early for.
Eddie Vedder, what can I say INCREDIBLE !!!! really hit his groove and had all of us on a hell of a ride.
Crowd was better than during PJ tour (less assholes) although there were alot of shufflers about which was distracting.
Venue is gorgeous, (except for the 10 dollar(ed's est) fucking air tubes draped across the sides.
damn, joe! wtf!? did you do 100 the whole way back?

I would have been home sooner if I didn't have to wait 30 minutes to get my car from the garage. I was 6th in the line at the garage and it still took 20 minutes to get my car.
And to answer your question, I never drive higher than 70 ... lol.
NYC is only about 90 miles from Philly.
I'm taking it you're just getting home?
