Notes (from 5H):
Ed is in a chatty mood, proposing a toast to Dublin, mentioning that the crowd
had waited two albums for them to come to The Point again. He adds, "That's
what we did ... how 'bout you? What did you do? You all grew up. You all became
a bunch of thieves. You broke out of prison just so you could come here (a note
about a local news story about early release of political prisoners under the
terms of the Good Friday agreement). Now you have a taste of freedom ... here's
to your new found freedom."
Ed dedicates a wonderful version of 'Off He Goes' to the fair people of
Donegal, noting "all six of 'em are right over there." After 'Alive,' Ed
blesses the crowd with liquid from his wine bottle and Stone comments, "I
think tonight was one of those nights where we probably shouldn't have played
that song."
Before 'Go,' Ed tells the crowd a lengthy story (full of Irish wit and wisdom)
about a farmer, his son and his horses, which is a big crowd pleaser. 'Go'
finishes with Mike making Hendrix/Townshend type contortions with his guitar
while Ed does some sort of rambling apparently improvised lyrics.
At the beginning of the encore Ed tells the crowd, "If you're not goin' we're
not goin'." After 'DTE,' Ed mentions that Monkeywrench opened up for them in
London and some of the members of that band used to be in Mudhoney and that the
next song was written about one of their members, leading to 'Lukin.' After
'Better Man,' Ed says that if the crowd's up for it they'll play a song they
haven't played in a long time (and that the band would remember the fact that
they tried it out in Dublin), leading to 'Garden' - definitely a treat. (He
asks the front row for help with the second verse.) 'Black' is introduced as a
tragic little song. At the end of 'Black,' Ed covers himself with black tape,
climbs up on the speaker at the right hand side of the stage and jumps into the
crowd, where heis treated with superhero respect. A fantastic finish to a great
concert.
Other highlights: a huge, magnificent Better Man (Ed made it disco!), dancing
on the intro of 'DTE', 'RVM' - as good as it's meant to be, while
'Insignificance' and 'Lukin' are powerful. Mike ON FIRE and the solos on 'NAIS'
and 'Alive' were stand outs. Songs from Binaural are received like old
favorites (although not particularly 'Insignificance') throughout and the
Yield tracks never performed in Europe before especially (particularly 'Given
To Fly').
