1. I agree..He cant blame Bush now Matt..His guy,Obama is in..so..now who does he bitch about ? The gas prices are way high now as well. Notice Ed doesnt say a word,like he did during the Bonarro Festival 2008.I dont get his "anger" issues....Was Iraq a mistake ?..Yes,of course....but like I said,one has nothing to do with the other..not to mention the victims is a slap in their face,and to continue to bash the country on that day ?..Vedder shows zero class .....and,not for nothing Matt, to be clearly drunk,while fans are paying big money to see you perform, doesnt say much either...

    You never hear him mention Bin Laden....ever.... why is that ???? And to say I hope Cheney dies?.Beyond classless...What about Bin Laden ?...Does he hope Bin Laden lives maybe ??..I dont know,I guess to mention a terrorist muderer isnt "cool"..and to say I hope a sitting Vice President dies is ok to EV...he was offbase,as he was when the whole band was booed off the stage in Nassau 04.30.03..and I was there booing the shit out of him Matt....I was livid.....a great show, ruined by his left wing, misguided, inappropriate political opinions....

    If it wasnt on the 09.11 anniversary,I wouldnt have been as upset with his nonsense,at the Kitchener gig...I still would have ripped him..no question,but why on that day,the 4th anniversary ?......he obviously has no respect.
  2. Certainly interesting to compare how EV and Bono handle these types of situations. Although Bono can come across as preachy (and even go off on somewhat misguided tangents) he rarely, if ever, lacks class/tact.
  3. To the music, if I may:

    Possible future mix: Montreal vs Toronto (using songs from all four shows from 2000 and 2003).

    This keeps it "controlled" but allows for a wide range of songs (about 70 to choose from) and most of the essentials included.

    Unfortunately, Nothingman, Faithfull, or Breath (amongst a bunch from Ten) were not played at any of these shows.
  4. ...but I still must not lose sight of these 2005 shows. I am relistening to London and Kitchener again - and then to Thunder Bay.
  5. Nice...I have the London,Ontario on tap for tomorrow...endless rain here in NYC...

    Bono had always showed class....and was clearly moved at my 2001 MSG gigs....
  7. Eddie Vedder will be featured on Jimmy Fallon new comedy album
    "Balls In Your Mouth" (feat. Eddie Vedder)
    among others like The Boss for example

  8. do you guys know the "AWASH" bootleg? .. it's of Pittsburgh '00 and contains the PJ set taken from the official bootleg and, before, the Eddie preset (if your "hatred" vs him is not too much in these days hehe ) with a nice recording pretty well balanced with the soundboard of the official
    nice artwork too
  9. Not surprisingly, I have never heard of AWASH (remember, I am only a little over a year into this) but thanks for the info.

    I will definitely look it up.
  10. Originally posted by Mr_Trek:Matt, how do you like the Washington show from the pre-2000 remasters? I am downloading it, I want something to listen to.

    Setlist is made up of the songs that weren't the biggest hits on those albums. Interesting.


    I finally got around to listening to this morning (in between Candain 2005 shows). It sounds great and I don't really mind the absence of Alive, Even Flow, and Jeremy (and Porch, too). It's nice to have a show that focuses on Vs and Vitalogy - although the omission of Animal creates a bit of a gap.

    Just realized that Better Man wasn't played either. Definitely a show that may have left some "posers" dissappointed.
