New Year's Eve and three great bands! Ed comments, "If I wasn't in this band, I would still make sure I was here tonight." Ed sings part of Fugazi's 'Waiting Room' as an intro to 'Even Flow.' A driven performance, with a particularly intense version of 'Alive.' Flea of RHCP assists with vocals during 'Leash.' The 'Teen Spirit' teaser (actually the longest teaser I've heard) is followed by Stone's quip, "Just remember, we played it first."

During 'Porch,' Ed climbs the scaffolding and hangs upside down by his knees, singing the outtro chorus. The place is electrified as he jumps down, the crowd fearful someone might die. Lots of chat from Ed and during Nirvana's set, he repeatedly comes from the wings of the stage, running top speed and diving far out into the crowd. He is carefully returned to the stage each time.

After 'Garden,' Ed notes, "We didn't put Jeremy on the list!" and asks the crowd if they want to hear 'Jeremy' or another song, leading to a quick, little "hey ho, let's go" (Ramones' 'Blitzkrieg Bop'). Then they go into a few 'Smell Like Teen Spirit' riffs, with Ed following up by singing, "I feel stupid" to the 'Teen Spirit' tune. Ed sings two lines from 'Outshined' as a lead-in to 'Leash.'

It takes a while for Ed to warm up to the crowd but then he gets chatty, talking about how they haven't been to Texas before, how they stole Dave from Dr. Tongue ("tough shit") and asks if Tom Landry is there.

A very chatty show. Ed greets the crowd with "Good evening. A really nice place you have here. I don't know if you've been waiting for this but we have so ..." 'Release' leads in with "heys" instead of "whoas" and lyrics are changed to "We're in Detroit, like you somehow." Then, "OK, let's get this distortion here. The rest of the night's fuckin balls to the wall." After 'Even Flow,' Ed notes, "I like the way this is set up: you got the hardcore fans right up front, the cool people are right after them - they're happy to go nuts with just their arms folded. And then in the back we got all these PEOPLE playing with themselves."

Ed remarks, "There's nothing better in the whole world than a sea of people ... it's just the tide has to go out a bit ... take a step back ... give a little breath and don't fuckin' get up here and jump unless you know what you're doing. Let's just enjoy the experience."

Setlist is likely incomplete. Ed leads into 'Alive' with: "So your parents can't give you no fucking shit for coming here and going crazy tonight 'cuz this is where they all lost their virginity. This building, this room might be the very reason you're alive."

After Even Flow, Ed sings a couple of lines from the Red Hot Chili Pepper's 'Funky Crime', from Uplift Mofo Party Plan. (The line "I do what I wanna do!" is repeated throughout that song.) Before 'Porch,' Ed jokes about his hand injury: "... if you're wondering about the cast, I saw the Michael Jackson video and I just wanted to be like him," (a reference to MJ's gloved hand).

Small stage is set up in record stores and band performs a short, informal, excellent acoustic set. Ed sings with no mic for half the show. He is hoarse form seven shows in seven days and he ad libs a line in 'Alive' that garners a laugh from the crowd: "Is something wrong she said ... of course there is yeah ... I have no voice he said ..." Someone in the crowd comments on Ed's bandaged hand and he tells them he hurt it Tuesday (two nights before in New York at the Roseland) bashing Dave's cymbals. The small audience calls out requests so PJ does 'Oceans.' They strum a bit of Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' before 'Porch.'

'Leash' is played for the first time, and seems to be used frequently in later shows when PJ "runs out of" songs.

After 'Why Go,' Ed says, "I have a gift for you. I know you guys get hungry up in front. No band's ever paid any attention to this. Don't ever tell 'em that PJ forgot about you. Some grapes for all my good friends and a banana for [unintelligible]."

A small riff from 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' is played during the short version of 'Window Paine,' leading into 'Once.' During 'Once,' Ed sings, I've got nothin' to say ... but I hope the Knicks win tonight."

1991-11-03 Springfield, MA

Ed greets the crowd: "Hello Springfield. I always knew if we played a room this big it would be half empty, but you know, to me, it just looks like a small club that's full. You guys are there. You're standing on an ice rink. We're gonna warm it up real slow. By the end of the night, it'll be melted away."
