Notes (from 5H):
Great show, great crowd and Ed is obviously very pleased. Two-thirds of the people were in their seats for Supergrass! Mike is doing some serious flirting and mugging for the people in the front during 'Last Exit.' At one point, he gives a mischievous grin, takes a running leap on top of his monitor and falls back immediately. This is followed by another grin and he did a great butt-rock jump-kick, then falling back, laughing.
Ed addresses the crowd for the first time after 'Tremor Christ.' "Good evening, Boise, Idaho ... it's funny because you go around meeting other bands and you know other bands, and you're part of this musical community and they say 'well it really great you guys have been playing 10 years, congratulations and all that and then they say, 'God, you must have played Boise" and you go "Uh" (Ed looks off, rubbing his chin) I don't think we did. I think we skipped them a couple of times, we cancelled (boos from the crowd). Ed continues, "That was when Mike McCready was doing the bookings, so blame him. So now they find out that you've never played here and they say 'you're not even a band' so thanks for hanging in there with us."
Ed introduces 'Elderly Woman' as being about Moscow, Idaho. He draws half a heart on his chest with his finger. 'Better Man' is intro'ed as "a sad song to make you feel better." Ed breaks a string and gets really into the song, jumping around until the string breaks off completely. The tag has "I know" repeated and something about being lonely or alone in the lyrics. The 'Daughter' tag is a echo-song; Ed sings "ooohhhh" and the crowd responds immediately and loudly. After a few oohh's and awww's he sings, "You're beautiful" with the crowd responding several times and Ed smiling. Then he sings "I feel beautiful" with the crowd singing back. Very moving! 'Light Years' features the incredible Stone solo (and his groovy plaid pants). At one point, a guy named Ben makes it on stage and walks up to Ed. Ed asks him what his name is and how he got up there. He says he's from Utah and promptly gets escorted off by security.
To start the encore, Jeff sits with his stand-up bass, Ed sits down with his acoustic and says, "It's uh, you just don't know what it's like to be at the end of this, well you probably do know what it's like to take up a challenge and accomplish it. We're almost home and I just hope that, after this kind of intense year it would be great to end on a great show, so I just that Seattle is at least as good as this." He introduces 'Don't Be Shy' as a song they found to help them get through hard-core depression. The wine bottle is passed to the crowd during 'Crazy Mary.' 'Parting Ways' is beautiful with Matt really shining. Ed and Mike are leaning against each other, playfully pushing during 'RITFW.' Ed says that they would never not play Boise again.
