anybody?just got the 7 inch on saturdayMe, too. Give it a listen yet?
A tad more detail here...I guess it's been what 3 years since a new album has been released, so they've done tours to play all that stuff...so we move to festival shows. Personally, I like the approach they are taking with these, as playing a lot of older stuff and mostly "hits". Given that this is the first PJ show I've been to in a while that wasn't chalk full of die hards, it was actually pretty refreshing to see the impact PJ still has. I was standing next to this 22yo kid who was going to his first show. He was simply blown away.You can't compare this to PJ20, the Vic or the Spectrum shows....but it was different in it's own way. Took me back to being a 16yo kid at my first PJ show in a way. I went in with no expectations, and had a freaking blast.####### amazing show. 7 songs off of ten, lukin, parachutes, of the earth. Kind if a greatest his set, but energy was amazing. The it's ok tag was the best since they played it in NC. Great porch chant, we didn't belong together on black, etc.Definitely up there as one of my top shows

I went, what a show. Too bad i didn't see this until now. What did you think? You from there?Anyone else going to the show tomorrow night in Missoula???
From Canada, drove down for the show. Was my 9th PJ show and loved it. Great atmosphere, killer set list... only thing it lacked was beer in the stands!I went, what a show. Too bad i didn't see this until now. What did you think? You from there?Anyone else going to the show tomorrow night in Missoula???

audio of Blackhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEN_FC4hji8If you have some time, head over to the PJ board and read some posts about Eddie and Boom playing Black at the 2nd Vegas show. Pretty awesome stuff. That was the show I was supposed to be at...in April.Long shot here, but if anyone has any extras or knows of anyone looking to get rid of tickets for Eddie's Dec 3rd show in Tampa let me know. Kinda looking for 2. I'm lucking out and will be down there for work....and finally seeing my first Ed show that night. Now I just need tickets.

He doesn't play it solo"What is the deal with black?
http://community.pearljam.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=198290(Ed talks about a cause that he recently got involved with. It is help people with Epidermolysis Bullosa. He suggests searching the site HealEB (http://healeb.org/) and seeing if anyone can donate to their cause. Someone in the audience gives Ed $100. As Ed discusses the disease someone offers to donate $5000 if Ed will play “Black”. He tells the person to stick around because although he doesn’t know how to play the song he is going to try and figure out a way. A lot of people in the audience start shouting that they have money to donate as well. An emotional and visibly moved Eddie starts the next song and tells the person who offered the money to stick around because he will have something for them. He also says that his wife and the people at the charity will be happy and that he has never had an audience react like the audience tonight has. He also mentions Ross & Melissa who won an auction to be at the show)
27. Black w/ Boom Gasper (Boom plays Ed’s pump organ. The first attempt is pretty shaky and doesn’t get very far. Ed makes some adjustments and starts over much stronger. The crowd helps by singing along)
Whoa. Link? I was there, ended up front row somehow.Pearl Jam Sirius channel had technical issues with broadcasting tonight's solo Eddie show, so they are playing the Vegas show from 11/1, which was incredibly well receivedThis is the show where Black was playedSo I am sure there will be a high quality boot from this

I was actually in Orlando all week. Came home and everything was good. We got lucky. ThanksHope you and the family are OK in Sandy's aftermath Acer
Here is a little bit. This is not the best stuff but you get the idea.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtZEAzX3w-kOn a side note---I was listening to Jay Mohr on O&A show today. He is now doing a killer Eddie Veder impersonation. It had me laughing pretty good. He really nails it.

Much better sets on this tour. And the shows seem to be progressively better as the tour goes on. The past 2 shows looked pretty solidWill be catching Eddie (4th solo show...1st this tour) Wednesday night at the Orpheum. TF: comparison on the last solo tour?
Looking over the sets I think you may be right... At 30+ tracks per night Ed definitely seems to be set on giving folks their moneys worth. Am nervous about the crowd at the Orpheum in Memphis though... Caught 2 shows at the RYman and you could hear a pin drop. Then one show at the Orpheum a night later and so many folks were chattering disrespectfully. Ed was visibly annoyed and it simply wasnt as good of a show. Downside of being at the intersection of Tenn / Ark / Miss.... Whole lotta hillbillies that just are too stupid to know any better... Really really hoping for single digit rows on floor.... Fingers crossedMuch better sets on this tour. And the shows seem to be progressively better as the tour goes on.

I think Ed's done a better job handling the loud people on this tour...from the 2 shows I went to and the review I've read, I think he's "accepted" that it's going to happen, and deals with it with some good humor.Looking over the sets I think you may be right...

Good to hear. From what I saw it just seems that some of these folks just don't get out of their trailers very often. I guess they were still in "ZZ TOP" concert mode which meant getting as close to blind drunk as possible pre-show, then act as if Eddie has personally requested that you handle setlist duties. It somehow didn't register that these aren't "Woooooohoooooooo!" type shows.I think Ed's done a better job handling the loud people on this tour...from the 2 shows I went to and the review I've read, I think he's "accepted" that it's going to happen, and deals with it with some good humor.

Currently 14th row off center on the aisle.... Jack and coke in hand.... Lady friend to my left... And lights just went down... Cheers fellas.
Awesome. I can't wait for the tour closer. So pumped. Hope you get a great one!Currently 14th row off center on the aisle.... Jack and coke in hand.... Lady friend to my left... And lights just went down... Cheers fellas.

The Tulsa stuff I was reading earlier is pretty strange. The Deebag that was escorted out (guy that wanted to sing Cornell's HS part) seems to have started a thread there but what he posted is completely opposite from what others are saying in other threads.Good to hear.

I keep forgetting to give a Vegas review and it has to wait for later (the clock just ticked 5) but night two of Vegas was maybe a top 5 concert for me. Ever. Easily top 10. And I'm talking any band. How the shows are getting better I can't really imagine but hey, that's fuking great.Oh, and Ed tossed me a tambourine in Missoula. I gave it to a vet behind me in a wheelchair. Then Ed went and got another tambourine to give to me. Pretty cool.
Would like to hear your take on the "Black" experience and whatever else you have to say.
