I must've arrived right after the 7 World's Collide argument...although I'm sure I could answer the questions. I was the one with the setlist.
We headed down to Cap City Brewery which called its last call right after we got there...then headed down to Rocket Dog which was open and smelled like the basement of a frat house....but it was really packed.
Somehow managed to make it back to the hotel where I ended up on the wrong floor and was approached by a guy with a heavy accent and a gun telling me I was on the wrong floor.
I sure was.
Oh, great story. I remember you now, I was the one sitting to your right. Glad you found Rocket, because we had our doubts that you would. The Seven Worlds Collide argument was over whether Ed sang on "I See Red." I think Tony lost, but it could have been a draw.

Right, but then the argument became how much he sang, so hence the drawl. Thanks for the link. There was a link to Rise from Night 1 on YouTube, but it got yanked before I could grab it. Makes me think even more strongly that there will be a DVD.
This one is still good for the time being, world's best drummer and singer on one stage (sorry Matt Cameron is fantastic, but Brendan Canty rules Washington East):
I would personally like to thank the douchebags in the upper balcony who repeatedly yelled "PLAY SMILE!!!!" about 55 times throughout the show, as well as the chorus of 3 or 4 who yelled "FOOTSTEPS".
Play Smile, you've got to be kidding me.
The folks who yelled Footsteps were quieted down by those supporters who kindly asked them to shut the fuck up. What i don't get is that, you say go see a play on Broadway, or some sort of play. You don't stand up and scream "DO A LINE FROM ACT 3, SCENE 2!!!! Granted it is a rock show, but a performance that's meant to be quite a different experience. I guess there will always be "that guy".
I honestly didn't have any problems with the crowd. I was in the 13th row and it was incredible. I didn't really notice alot of the shouting or maybe because it wasn't in my area. I was 2 rows behind the guy with the Bush mask. We all gave him kudos.
Night 2 was a different story. I think I had vertigo...was up in the balcony and there was some woman about 5 seats over that screamed her brains out the entire night. But that didn't bother me the way the slope of the balcony did. It is scary up there. :eek:

And I don't feel right when you're gone away
That's super sweet. And sort of why I was at the DC show with my mom. She took me to my first Pearl Jam concert in DC on 1/15/05 and took care of everything. I was only 14 and couldn't drive, didn't have a credit card or a job... She just put me in the car and drove me from Pittsburgh and let me have the experience of my lifetime! So now that I make decent money and have a car, every time Pearl Jam plays DC I put HER in the car, treat her to a nice hotel and nice meal and an awesome concert! We always have the best time!
Anyway, thanks to the fans who behaved themselves that night and to Eddie for being SUCH a good sport about the vocal asshats.

- Totally agree....Eddie could have sat there and babbled a bunch of nonsense and it would've been great. I wanted to get in a fist fight with that guy....he was right behind me. Why would you pay all that money just to act like an asshole, piss everybody off around you including Eddie, and not even listen to what he had to say???
..I'm finally allowed back on. So no, no show at Dobbs. Yes, this show was awesome. Who ever the girl that sat next to me and my buddy in row G about seat 113(?) I have to thank for the Sniper playbill. If you're on here, I appreciate it since I guess I missed getting one in the way in. Also, I personally think the "Shh"-ers were more annoying than the yellers. I liked shh-ing everyone around us randomly because of how ridiculously funny it was all toked up. And to those who told me you HAVE to check out Liam Finn were absolutely right. Thank you! After smoking that bone in the parking garage across the street and walking in on that set was unreal. During that one song where he was using the - i forget what it's called (musical instrument thats really an antenna that you put your hand near to make "eerie" sounds) - was unreal all toked up. Just bought I'll Be Lightning yesterday, and if I wasn't going to MMJ on the 5th I'd be at the World Cafe for his show. It was pretty awesome.

Its called a theremin, created by Leo Theremin. Liam's looked vintage, bright red, with three black dials on the side. The antennae in the middle had a red sphere at the top. It looked like some video game joystick from decades ago. Awesome. Check out his Youtube videos, especially the performance on Letterman where he loops his guitars and rocks it out on drums. Kick ass stuff.
As always, Eddie introduces us into yet another amazing artist.
Yeah another 10c member gave me his sniper playbill as well. I didn't have one and i asked to look at his, and he told me that the door greeter people were handing them out earlier, but they were out now. I looked at it and gave it back to him, and at the end of the show he ended up giving it to me (telling me that he was coming back for the second night, so he would just get another) Thank you guy in row ZZ If you're here

Does anyone remeber that funny irish sounding version of Elderly Woman that played just before Eddie took the stage? I started sining along to it then realized something wasn't quite right, lol. Does anyone know what was up w\that?

I don't, but I LOVED how he came out on the "hello." I knew he would, and it was awesome!
I have been listening to Pearl Jam for years but the impact of their genius only hit me this summer at the Columbia, SC concert. Then I saw EV in Washington DC (first concert) and am officially hooked.
As a newcomer to this music I have a question. Before Ed'd last encore in DC he did a song - no instruments but used some technology where he would record a few lines of singing then play it back and add more lines to the song/tune. All notes - no words.
This blew me away and by the end I had tears in my eyes it was so beautiful.
Can anyone help me learn more about the song (Arc?) , the technology, and if this is recorded anywhere?

Arc is actually on Roit Act, but it isn't like the one he did on his solo tour. On Riot Act the song opens AFTER he has already looped his voice several times. I'm not really sure about the technology. I am DYING to hear the solo tour version again! Gave me chills, it was hauntingly beautiful...very powerful.

He sure did, with Betchadupa.

I really lucked out with my seat - having just purchased the ticket the day before - to end up about 12 -15 rows back was SWEET.
hehe, i particpated on that day before the show sale on TM.com and scored Row H, which was incredible!

i mean - at least ask for a song which eddie wrote musically!
like the parting ways request.

You are a sweet daughter! I loved your pics, too.

Will there be an officialy released dvd?
btw, killer artwork, brilliant, realistic enough to know who and what it is and artistic enough to catch the unique vibe at the gigs
