Notes (from 5H):
Ed greets the crowd after 'Can't Keep,' talking about how it is the first night out of the second leg of the longest tour they've done since they were in their early 20s and they thought Missoula would be a good pick where it "would go well" for the first night and that it is Jeff's hometown. After 'Ghost,' Ed speaks about a crew member (lighting guy, Sarge) who is in the reserves who got called to duty but was back on the tour again. Everyone throws their hands upward at the appropriate spot in 'Wishlist' and Ed laughs and backs away from the mic briefly. The keys are shining off your 'GTOs hood" tonight and he tags the ending with, "I wish I was 21 again; I wish I could go to school again ... I'll go back when I'm 41; and I'll learn what I want ... and the required courses that I will take will be only the courses that I require and I'll raise my hand up in the front of the room and I'll tell my government what I want ... dreams, dreams, dreams ..." 'Not For You' includes, "small my table, seats all of you ..." 'Porch' is dedicated to "a young man named Sam."
Returning for the encore, Ed mentions that last time they played outside and he remembers all the "freeloaders" on the hill. "Now since you can get the music for free, you gotta pay to get in." 'Elderly Woman' is dedicated to anyone from Big Sandy (Jeff's original hometown). At one point, Jeff is so into playing that he nearly takes a header off the stage. After 'Down,' Ed talks about how high the fan is blowing on him and it makes it feel like being in an Aerosmith video, Mike tossing out a "Walk This Way' riff. "We'll try something that we don't usually do ... it just never felt right in some of the bigger places that we've played ..." leads to 'All Or None.' 'Last Kiss' is for those in the back and the band turn around, playing to the seats behind them. Ed spits wine into the air and the lights, spraying himself and the crowd going nuts! He speaks to a "local issue" and how Jeff earmarked some of the proceeds from the Seattle benefit show for a skateboard park and how the approval was getting intermingled with the city council's initiative to ban skateboarding on the sidewalks. He suggests a letter writing campaign and mentions the "skateboarding is not a crime" bumperstickers from years ago and how skateboards are "... not weapons of mass wheel revolution ... they're just skateboards," leading to 'Know Your Rights.' Ed's solo performance of Tom Petty's 'I Won't Back Down' seems a spur of the moment idea. Very high energy show in a small venue with a receptive, fantastic audience.
