Notes (from 5H):
After 'Light Years,' Ed says "Thank you Mount Baker," and "What a fine dump. It's the nicest practice space I've ever had." At the end of 'Thin Air,' he notes, "Well, those were all the good songs." Following 'Black,' there is a mid-stage conference. Stone says, "We're already fucking up the setlist," and Ed responds that that's OK but fucking up the songs is not. 'Hold On' is a Tom Waits song. 'Faithfull' has two notable lyric changes: "the woman upstairs" and "what's a human to do." Jeff comes out with the standup bass and a bow and he and Ed do a beautiful version of 'Dead Man.' 'Evacuation' is introduced as, "This song was written by Matt Cameron"; it seems to take a toll on Ed's voice, as afterwards he's out of breath and comments, "Great song, bitch to sing," and asks the crowd to thank Matt for playing tonight.
Before the encore, there were no "Eddie" chants ... rather "Pearl Jam" chants! :)
After 'Insignificance,' there's another mid-stage pow-wow and Ed comments on how he hasn't had a drink for a while (since 1:30 that morning) and he's getting a buzz from the wine. Jeff is having bass trouble after Ed announces 'Go' and they go into a fairly involved improv, similar in feel to 'Roadhouse Blues' by the Doors; it falls apart after Mike takes an appropriate solo but then cracks up at the end.
Ed returns to the stage alone for the final encore, holding a wireless ukulele behind his back. He tell us he is going to play one of the greatest songs in rock and roll history, and then revises (realizing some folks might not have gotten the sarcasm) and says, no, actually, it sucks. He asks the crowd to be quiet -- "I know you're gonna wanna yell out during this one" -- as he doesn't want to "make a mistake," and then pauses to ask the crowd if the ukulele doesn't make him look taller. He plays a lovely, intricate song - "Soon Forget" (which VERY much reminds us of 'Blue, Red and Grey' by the Who). 'Ledbetter' is a wonderful version. The flying V is back for Mike, as well as a brand new baby blue SG.
