1. The funniest thing of the concert actually happened around Just Breathe. Eddie said there was a woman with a nice enough smile, with a sign asking him to sign her shoe. "You used the wrong noun" he said. The crowd disagreed though, we started chanting "Sign her shoe! Sign her shoe! Sign her shoe...". Eventually he agreed, it seemed, and a shoe was thrown on stage. Ed picked it up and threw it to the back of the stage. He said he wanted to sign the other shoe. The other shoe was thrown on stage, only to be thrown away again by Ed. He said she shouldn't have trusted him so easily. After some more chatting he told her to "Just Breathe" and a certain song was played. Then Ed's tech went around to have everyone in the band sign on of the shoes with Ed eventually doing so too. The shoe was thrown back into the crowd. It seemed he wanted to keep the other one though... so that he could drink some wine from it. Then the lucky woman had one shoe signed by all of Pearl Jam and one shoe from which Mister Eddie Vedder had drunk wine.


  2. (not sure if I'd actually drink directly from a stranger's shoe tho)

  3. Eddie wasn't either, just before he did he said "I'm trusting you".

  4. There are still five more shows - they like to spread songs like "Breath" out amongst all the shows. I'd be shocked if it didn't get played before they leave Europe.

    Same goes for Garden and Present Tense.

    Great story.

    Vitalogy - Faithfull (!), In Hiding, No Way, PMPM
    Binaural - Nothing as it Seems - plus so many more!
    Riot Act - Save You, I Am Mine - plus so many more
    Avocado - World Wide Suicide, Inside Job, and others I don't care that much about
