2002-12-06 Seattle, WA

True to form, the band is more relaxed and has a much better energy the second night. Unusual opening with 'Elderly Woman.' 'Daughter' is tagged with Edwin Star's 'War,'' which turns into a crowd chant ("War! What's it good for? Absolutely nothing! Say it again ...") Ed dons a Bush mask upon returning for the encore, leading to 'Bushleaguer.' A Bill Gates mask is evidenced during 'DTE.' A uke in a telecaster shape comes out for 'Soon Forget' and lyrics are a struggle (for many of the songs). 'Don't Believe in Christmas' is a cover, originally by the old Tacoma punk band, The Sonics. This show was captured on film and released as the Live at The Showbox DVD

Set: Save You

A PJ first, doing a two-night appearance on The Late Show. However, both performances were taped on 11/14, with 'Save You' airing on 11/15. Dave jokes about "Hope you slept well last night." 'Save You' is a more lively showing that the previous night's airing, with Ed substituting "cuff" for the "fuck" lyrics.

During the encore of Bruce's Chicago show (after 'Dancing in the Dark'), Bruce introduces a "hometown boy." Much to the surprise of most of the crowd, Ed takes the stage, joining Bruce for 'My Hometown.' They trade verses and a visibly nervous Ed struggles with lyrics, but Bruce helps out.They exchange a hug and Ed takes off.

2002-09-23 Chicago, IL

Originally this benefit was to feature Ed plus C-Average opening for The Who, but PJ (minus Stone, who had a prior commitment with Conservation International) opened. In a funny twist, a near life-sized cardboard cutout of Stone wearing a gold glittery jacket and holding Pete's Gibson is brought out on the stage. (Ed quips about Stone being very "one dimensional" tonight.) Boom, a native Hawaiian friend of Ed's (who plays on some of the forthcoming Riot Act tracks), fills in on keyboards. Jeff, in an obvious nod to the late John Entwistle, wears a skeleton t-shirt. Ed notes at one point during the show that Boom flew in from the islands just for this show.

Radio interview with the entire band (first time in 10-12 years) with cuts from Riot Act played. (No live, in studio performance.) They say the tour will start in the spring (nothing confirmed yet), with plans to play some benefits before the end of the year in Seattle, and opening for The Who in Chicago next week. They discussed the collaborative songwriting/recording process for the album and confirmed that no contract decisions had been made yet. Said the rarieties album would be released sometime next year, that it would be a double album and would include the fan club singles and a whole variety of things (they had been "cleaning house"). Response to the single's initial release via AOL's First Listen: Ed said, "What the F IS that?" and Stone clarified, "We knew about that; someone told us." Ed said they played last week and it was filmed to send to Europe since they wouldn't be playing there on this outing (sorry).

2002-03-15 Los Angeles, CA

This is the first Ed solo concert (that I know of). Someone throws a joint onstage as Ed enters; he catches it, proffers it and says, "I'll get busted at the border going back to Seattle." After 'Soon Forget,' someone screams "It's my cousin's birthday!" and Ed says, "Point well taken," and asks for the birthday boy's name. The answer was unintelligible, but Ed then sings 'Happy Birthday' with the uke. Ed mentions that this is an experimental festival, and as such the next number is representative of a very small genre of music: "Speed thrash ukulele... a genre so small I think this is the only song," leading to 'Can't Keep.' After the song's end, Ed says something about promising to not say anything political tonight: "My political statement is to play love songs all night ... apparently Lydia Lunch spoke here last night and she apparently said it all." He also relates a conversation with Mike Watt where they both talked about how in order to grow something good, you need a lot of manure, and there would be a lot of good art coming out of the recent period.

Pearl Jam play considerably earlier tonight, allowing time to travel to the Groundwork Benefit the following night.

A new song/improv ('The Price of Everything' ?) is dedicated to Riz Rollins, a Seattle record store clerk and occasional funk DJ. Ed explains 'Whipping' as a song "... about getting hit in the face, turning your cheek and getting hit again. Come to think of it, all the songs are about that." 'The Kids Are Alright' is solo by Ed, accompanying himself on guitar. Neil Young joins PJ in a surprise 'Act of Love' encore.

Tickets to this show were available via a postcard mail-in lottery system. (More than 175,000 postcards were received!) Jack Irons is now officially PJ's new drummer. When Jack is thanked by Gloria Steinem, some members of the audience react by booing. Ed addresses this later: "... you miss Dave and I think that is really nice. But you should all thank Jack Irons because this band wouldn't be together today if it wasn't for him. He saved the life of this band, so thank him." 'Go' is dedicated to Dave. 'Act of Love' is played with Neil Young, sans Ed. Several of the performers (including Ed) attended a press conference earlier to discuss reproductive freedom.

("Styrofoam and garbage for the ozone layer" changed to "if it's made in China, it could be prison labor." Ed interrupts 'RitFW' in the middle with a request for $5, which is met with a $20 donation.

This show was a political fundraiser for Montana politician Jon Tester's U.S. Senate Election Bid. Jeff Ament takes the stage first and thanks many people but "mostly, I want to thank the band - I want to thank Ed, Stone, Matt and Mike for coming over." Continuing he introduces the "next senator of Montana", Jon Tester. Jon Tester briefly and enthusiastically introduces Pearl Jam, alluding to his experience with fellow Montanan Jeff Ament, "this is what happens when a dirt farmer from Big Sandy runs for the U.S Senate teamed up with a bass player from Big Sandy and a world-class band. We're just a couple of Montana boys trying to have a good time."

The best concert experience of my life and I didn't have to travel further than ten blocks to be there. The sold out Ft. William Gardens (seating capacity 4,690) has been host to many great moments in hockey and curling since 1952. But, more recently the Gardens has been host to some decent concerts from the likes of Our Lady Peace, R.E.M., The Tragically Hip, and of course Pearl Jam. Just listen to this bootleg and you'll agree that 4,000 people have never sounded quite this loud.

Set: Present Tense, Corduroy, Save You, Animal, Given To Fly, Cropduster, Even Flow, Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town, Light Years, Lukin, State of Love and Trust, Down, Driven To Tears, Jeremy, Breakerfall, Porch

Encore 1: Nothingman, I Am Mine, Black, Alive

From the Makers of 5 Horizons Thick

As you all know I love Pearl Jam. So I decided to make a shrine to PJ with this site where I'll be posting every live show they've ever done (that I have, at least). Stay tuned in the coming weeks and months as I go online with my massive Pearl Jam Archive.
