Are they a sit-down affair?
I'm going (to try) to go an NYC show and from the looks of the place it just seems more "upscale." Maybe it would be nice for a change to actually sit anyways.. :-)

Also, do people "dress-up" for the occasion?

I've just always been to PJ shows (11 or so), and usually ride up in shorts and some flipflops. It's ALWAYS been hot at all the shows ive been to. Mostly outdoor. Hell, the warmest show ive ever been to was sitting and waiting outside the Vic in Chicago in line!

Anything else I should know as far as how different a PJ and Eddie show are?

thanks!

    I went to both vancouver shows and people weren't generally too dressed-up...pretty much the same as a pearl jam show. but, there was definitely a lot more sitting down at the eddie affair. seats were pretty comfy :) it was also a lot more laid-back due to the acoustic nature.

    man I hope I can get some tickets for this 2nd leg...it was really awesome last time!

    The ones on the west coast everyone sat. Ed even asked everyone to. They are very small/ intimate venues. The only time everyone stood was at the closer Hard Sun.
    As to the dress, it was very casual, just your normal concert. Of course, this is the west coast and we're more casual anyway. :)

    yeah, im wondering if people will dressup more since its in NYC. Maybe itll be even MORE casual since fans may come from a farther distance..like me...I dunno. Any more insight from anyone else?

    I'm wondering this too for the Boston shows. I think I'd be a little uncomfortable in a tank top, jeans and flip flops going to the Opera House. What I was thinking was maybe nice jeans a dressier shirt and little heels (sandals). I don't think it would be overdressed for a concert but still nice enough for the Opera House. Then again we saw people in sweats at the New Amsterdam theater on Broadway for a night show so who knows how to dress these days?

    Yep, everyone seated until the end of the shows. Hard to do at some points but that's just the way these go. It is insanely difficult to sit through Liam Finn, that man makes you want to shake your ass off.

    In regard to dress, I would venture to say that shorts and flip flops are fine. Everyone pretty much had on the same concert attire as normal excpet for a few dorks. I guess if someone wants to bust out a T length cocktail dress and heals go for it, but I will be snickering at you.

    It's a totally different concert experience than tailgating in Mansfield for instance, where I wore a t-shirt, jeans and flip flops (and commented on all the young girls in minis and high heels). I wouldn't go all out with the cocktail dress and 3 inch spikes but if we're going out to dinner before the show we clearly cannot wear t-shirts, shorts and flip flops. I think it's weird to wear t's to the Opera house, call me old fashioned.

    Besides the ITW soundtrack how does he fill the setlist? Is it Pearl Jam songs or covers or other original stuff?
