This show is the return of Pearl Jam as the headlining act, following six shows opening for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. After starting with songs like "Inside Job", "Given to Fly" and "Marker in the Sand", Ed mentions that "there's been a few songs already about 'faith' and this is yet another one", leading to "Faithfull". As the opening chords start, Ed adds that his voice is "a little scratchy tonight if anyone wants to help - join in any time - it's everybody's songs, yeah?"

Appropriately right before "Love Boat Captian," Eddie discusses how almost exactly six years to the day ago, nine fans died at the concert in Denmark (Roskilde) and among the first people to call and offer support were The Who's Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend. He went on to explain that it was at this very same Cincinnati venue (then called the Riverfront Coliseum) where several fans died in a similar crush trying to enter a Who concert (It was 12/3/1979 and 11 died). At another point in the night, Ed pulled out a flyer and discussed how a Pearl Jam fan named Brian Shaffer from Columbus, Ohio had been missing since April, and since the band feels like the fans are in some way "part of the family," they wanted to call attention to him in hopes that someone is able to help find him. Ed mentioned that , and described Brian's Pearl Jam tattoo and the reward for information along with a website to visit if you know anything, findbrianshaffer.com.

Before "Don't Gimme No Lip", Stone addresses the crowd on this last night of the first Leg of the tour, "I know you've all been waiting for it, and I just wanna say thank you very much. myself and everyone else has had a great tour and I wanna thank Ed Ved personally cause he's put in so many hours to this record, and the video we made, and every night's setlist, and he just does an amazing job with an incredible amount of energy, and we're so lucky to have him. LADIES AND GENTLEMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN, ROUND OF APPLAUSE! (crowd cheers) Thank you, alright, 'Don't Gimme No Lip'". With a few weeks break before Leg Two starts, "Why Go" and "Leaving Here" are played back to back. During "Leaving Here", Jeff takes the first three solos and Matt the last.

Towards the end of the show Ed remarked that Dick Cheney had called his hotel room and requested that they play his favorite song, one he listens to every morning, and the band played "Fuckin' Up". Ed said that some of the band had traveled down to D.C. earlier and spent the previous night in the Mount Pleasant district of D.C. which he said, "I heard that area wasn't 'pleasant' anymore, but last night it couldn't have been more so pleasant."

Ed talks about how it was such a beautiful day in Boston and a beatiful day for them and his daughter whose "back home in another city." He then mentions that their thoughts turn toward those put in a dire situation overseas and plays a hardened version of "Garden," mentioning its the worst case scenario for those troops. Before "Elderly Woman...", Ed says the song used to be so easy to play but they kept "fucking it up." Ed seems pleased with the crowd's vocals and lets them finish pieces of the tune, much like he did with "Black," "Alive," and "Smile." Ed says Boston has been so good to them that he'd like to try playing a song they've yet to play live and they premiere "Parachutes". The crowd goes bananas after years of fans begging the band to play "Leash", it's played to a huge roar, with the crowd signing loudly along.

The band is playing Cleveland and Detroit consecutively, coinciding with the NBA Playoffs pitting the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. the Detroit Pistons. "That last song is called 'Unemployable' which I'm sure the state of Ohio knows plenty about. It's a beautiful place, but we'll always make room for you in Seattle if you ever want to come out.

2006-05-19 Grand Rapids, MI

Ed mentions the last time they played Grand Rapids was the "Vote For Change" tour and says the name of that tour was supposed to "make the point" and that "Vote for Change" was maybe "not explanatory enough because some people didn't figure out you were voting to change things for the better." He continues, "So a lot of us voted, but things have changed just for the worse and something hopeful, apparently there's a couple of veterans in the crowd and we have their support so we're very proud of that.", leading to "Army Reserve".

Ed mentions drummer Matt Cameron being from the great Seattle band Soundgarden to much cheering, and that his former guitarist Kim Thayil is from Park Forest, and band and crowd applaud. Without prompting, the crowd sings "We got a thousand points of light For the homeless man we got a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand", making Ed smile before he took over singing. Prior to "Ledbetter", Jeff pulls on his shirt, talking to a guy in the front row that had on the rare "Dirty Frank" T-shirt, saying "nice shirt". Mike plays his "Ledbetter" solo sitting on the stage in front of his monitors.

Amazing show with many guests at this special benefit billed as "An Evening With Pearl Jam Acoustic and Then Some" at a small, outdoor venue (with a 10 pm curfew). Ed introduces the a guest saying "... personally I still don't believe he's still gonna be here until he actually walks out after we say his name ..." and Chris Cornell takes the stage, expressing some apprehension about performing alone, without any of the members of PJ, during the middle of the encore. He offers two acoustic songs, 'Can't Change Me' (from his solo album) followed by 'Like A Stone' (Audioslave). The Temple of the Dog reunion lusted after by fans for ages finally takes place when he brings the band back and they announce, "OK, now were gonna do something that we haven't done in at least 11 years ... now I'm old enough to be able to say that there was something that I did as an adult that I haven't done for 11 years ... I'm really glad that you guys are here to hear this; this is great!" and the crowd is treated to 'Hunger Strike,' followed by 'Reach Down' (very long version with an extended jam).

Ed uses a neck-mounted harmonica, saying that "Uncle Neil" had just taught him how to use it. 'Better Man' is dedicated to Maricor. ("I hate to embarrass her in front of everybody, but, you know, she's been putting the moves on me pretty hardcore for about six years now ... and it's workin'! ... we're so proud of her and we love you, Mari. So we're not going to play her favorite song tonight 'cause we did it last night. ... if this one was called 'Can't Find a Better Girl,' we'd play it for her but we're gonna change it. This one's for you Mari.") 'Old MacDonald' is requested by Bridge School student, Harold, but Ed notes that they have their own version and it is an improv about Dick Cheney, sung to the tune of 'Old MacDonald' ("old Dick Cheney had a plan - E I E I O...") Neil Young accompanies PJ on organ during 'Long Road,' with Ed noting that Neil helped them record and write the song.

'Wishlist' brings out the lighters in the crowd (turning them on and off rhythmically) and has an extended jam plus a call and respond ("hey ho, let's go") session. The crowd just dominates 'Better Man,' leading Ed to invite them to sing along with a spirited 'Lukin' as well. Ed introduces the band en Español upon returning for the encore.

Ed prefaces 'Growin' Up' by saying this was a song he used to play sitting on his bed (when he was first learning how to play) and also said Bruce wanted to play here but the place wasn't available for 167 nights in a row. He acknowledges the fan support and other stuff that's been on his mind the past few months. He says that anything that they've said or done throughout the tour came from opinion and that opinion is about caring ... caring for their country. That makes them feel like patriots. 'Growin' Up' is a tender, heartfelt solo version. 'Hunger Strike' is performed as a big surprise (except for those following soundchecks and setlist scans) and is performed admirably with Corin from Sleater-Kinney singing Chris Cornell's part.

After the 'LBC' opener, Ed yells, "Let's go! Fuck this fuckin' chocolate factory!" Ed's voice is a bit hoarse from the previous night's marathon and makes up for it by having quite a bit to drink. Ed says everyone has fairly good complexions so they can't be from around there. He jokes about a guy with a sign that reads "8 1/2 months pregnant" and suggests various band members' names as names for the baby and wishes him good luck. 'Elderly Woman' is for people from small towns.

This show is part III of the plan for PJ to play their catalog over the three Mansfield shows with no repeats. The unique full band preset starts early with a nearly full house with Ed thanking the crowd for participating in "the experiment." After 'Of The Girl,' Ed asks the crowd to sit down saying, "We haven't played to a seated crowd in a long, long time ... there's not gonna be an acoustic version of 'Blood' or anything like that ..." The preset begins acoustic with Jeff playing electric on some of the early songs and Mike going electric on some of the later songs. Splendid song selection and very well executed.

Unusual rip roaring 'Crazy Mary' starts off the set to a packed house at MSG for the second night in a row. Strong Ed voice on 'Hail Hail.' He addresses the crowd after a great version of 'Whipping,' telling them how special the previous night was for the band but that they "... have their work cut out for them because you guys always wanna make it better than the last." This spins into a strong 'Corduroy,' with the crowd loving it.

Jeff, Ed and Mike join the Buzzcocks for 'Why Can't I Touch It?' during their set. Very emotional performance of 'I Am Mine' with Ed mentioning it was the band's first time in NYC since that thing that happened about a year and a half ago and he applauds NY for being so strong. 'STBC' is dedicated to the record stores in New York City. Ben Harper joins PJ in singing the tag on 'Daughter,' saying, "This is the best band in the world!" Ed mentions that the staff at the Garden told him that they have only seen the stage rumble that hard in three shows: Grateful Dead, Iron Maiden (at which point Mike plays a quick riff from 'Number Of The Beast') and Bruce Springsteen (which elicits a major cheer). Ben Harper joins the band again to sing 'Indifference.' Ed says it will cost them $14,000, but that they will break curfew and keep playing (nearly three hours), going until almost midnight. Stellar show with the crowd wild (HUGE fan club turnout) and the band on fire.

After the mellow opener, they rip through the next songs with no chat until after 'Save You,' when Ed refers to the crowd as "people of mass construction" and says the only fireworks will be the ones on the stage. 'Even Flow' is very long and avoids some of the sound quality problems that seemed to plague Mike's solo during Saturday's show. Ed speaks of freedom and how playing guitar like Mike is freedom. 'Porch' is excellent with Mike tearing it up. At the start of the encore, Ed asks how people are holding up and comments that the encore will be "all request," and the first two songs are played with dedications - 'Jeremy' is for Peter. The crowd waving their arms up and screaming the "hello!" part are so loud that Ed steps back in surprise, saying "Jesus Christ" softly.

A hot night on the waterfront with the band breezing through 'Can't Keep' to open, then full throttle with the Stone Gossard show. He is on fire, tearing through 'Brain of J,' 'Save You,' 'DTE' and 'STBC,' serving up solos and excellent guitar work. Ed banters about whether they are in Philly or New Jersey (eliciting cheers and boos from the crowd) and says where ever we are, it's hot! The City of Philadelphia's fireworks display is visible during 'Faithfull' and 'Wishlist.' The band doesn't seem to notice immediately, but Jeff says something to Ed, Ed notices and asks if the people on the lawn can see them. Suddenly, they deviate from the setlist and tear through 'RITFW' ("let's give you a little music for the fireworks") in the middle of the set while the fireworks are still continuing. The crowd loves this and Ed jokes at the end of the song that they would normally say "Thanks and good night" at this point.

Really nice 'Release,' Ed's voice soaring. Ed asks how many people had been at the show the previous night and how many had seen the sun rise that morning. He continues that he did and testifies testifies to the truth in the advice to live for the moment, but that after one moment comes another, and another, and before you know it the sun's coming up, "... that's why I'm so damn grumpy ... so live for the moment, but then go to sleep ..."

'Oceans' is gorgeous, taking many by surprise and Ed's voice is strong. Ed states that the band has a plan: "... we've worked up about 70 songs for this tour. We thought we would play three nights without repeating a song and get to every song ... we're actually playing about 105 ... this would put it at about 35 songs a night."

They start out playing some "quieter stuff" due to traffic clogs and people getting to the venue late as a result. Early on, Ed pauses and glances up at himself on the jumbotron screens. He starts making faces and then jams his finger up his nose like a kid watching himself on video camera. He laughs, as well as the crowd. Ed introduces Stone and Jeff as "one of the longest lasting couples in rock and roll music." He says there is no one he's ever met who would rather just play guitar than Mike ... "see how happy he is right now ... cause he's playing guitar. When he's not playing guitar, he's a fuckin' prick ... kind of."

Mike and Stone take the stage first, standing to the side for a good two minutes, waiting for the house lights to go down. 'Long Road' is started in partial light, with the crowd cheering when the lights finally go down. Jeff is playing stand-up bass for 'Long Road.' Matt goes off on 'Even Flow' ... a great, great Matt night.

Ed first addresses the crowd after 'GTF,' asking if the crowd would like to participate in a survey. He realizes he hasn't said hello, says hello and is greeted with a huge ovation of uninterrupted cheers and says it's "really" good to be here. He wants to continue with the survey which consists of (a) not believing in the killing of innocent people and that the threat of weapons of mass destruction was distorted in order to get Americans to support the war or (b) "Yes, I'm an idiot."

A setlist heavy on Vitalogy and No Code songs, including the unusual opening songs. Crowd is better than the previous night, but still a lot of casual fans in the pavilion area tonight, not knowing a lot of the new material but more respectful. Ed notes, "I hope you're better than those assholes that were here last night ... I'm referring to the first 10 rows last night." He says they will be experimenting and playing things a little differently and making it a show to remember.

Ed thanks the folks in the back "where the real people are." (Many of the close seats in the front did not go to fan club members due to season ticket holders at this venue.) He speaks of how they almost didn't play because of all the ads in the venue. "I ain't playing for Pepsi ... Miller Lite, now that's a beer ... I could piss in a cup and give it to this guy and he'd like it better ..."
