Notes (from 5H):
'Oceans' hasn't opened a show since the final show of 1995. 'Rats' is started,
paused (Ed notes, "OK, we haven't done this one for a while and we're gonna do
it right") and the song is picked up again. Lyrical changes to 'Rats' include
"drag the bones of the Grateful Dead." After a lyric flub at the start of 'Off
He Goes,' Ed modifies the lyrics to "... I should relax."
By request, 'Footsteps' is played for the first time this tour. A climactic
'Immortality' makes the smooth transition into 'Alive.' After a problematic
'Porch,' the song is restarted ... with Ed apologizing and saying he has a lot
on his mind with the elections and all. During the 'Porch' jam, Ed pulls a kid
up on stage who is wearing an old Who shirt and swaps shirts with him. The kid
stage dives into the crowd but the shirt is instantly ripped off him by the
audience.
PJ immediately return after 'Porch,' with Ed commenting about a sign in the
crowd reading "Don't delay" and launching into a version of 'Even Flow' with a
cool jam. 'Blood' includes a handful of lines from 'Heaven' by the Talking
Heads prior to the 'Fame' reference. A request that the crowd "listen to the
words" is the lead in to a lovely 'Present Tense.' Great connection between PJ
and the audience at this show.
