DigiNoise during Release
Notes (from 5H):
An amazing show with Ed's emotions all over the place. Ed takes the stage prior
to Ben Harper's set, plays the riff to 'Wishlist' saying, "I wish I was Ben
Harper" before playing 'Throw Your Arms Around Me.'
'GTF' and Dissident are extremely emotional; it appears as though Ed is crying,
and as a result, he flubs a few words. Before 'MFC' he says he had to compose
himself before going on. Before 'Even Flow,' he comments, "It's take no
prisoners time;" he gets the words right and laughs about it.
The 'Habit' saying is "Speaking as a someone who pahked the cah at the Gahden,"
(a reference to the Boston Garden) delivered with an exaggerated Boston accent.
During 'Porch' Ed comes into the crowd, telling people not to pull on him. Right
before 'Go' he says, "It's coming to a close ... if this was my summer, this is
what I'd be thinking." Some idiot is throwing quarters at Ed and he launches
into a huge tirade (rightfully so) and then catches himself ("Ahh, that felt
good.") The show is closed with, "Have a nice millenium; until next time."
This is one of the finest shows of 1998, with excellent versions of songs and
the band in great spirits. As is often typical, the second show at the same
venue is the best!
