Show Notes: Tiny venue, poor sound, GREAT crowd, very ON performance with a few rough spots. 'Corduroy' features a completely different intro, starting out with just guitar and then the drums build in. Ed skips the first verse of 'RVM' and repeats the second twice, and the second go round is excellent and the jam goes way out and comes back hard! Not a lot of chat, until before 'Immortality' Ed says, "hometown boy, Matt Cameron." 'Wishlist' lyric changes: Ed sings "as fortunate as YOU" and instead of "I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds," he says "sound." At the end, he sings, "I wish I was a mountain, wishes can come true, I wish I wish I wish I wish ... if you ever want to, do ..." (San Diego WAS where the original PJ lyrics were written.) 'Even Flow' is humorously flubbed--he goes into the chorus too soon but catches himself, and Mike's wicked solo is reeled back eventually by Stone, with Ed noting, "that's Mike over there." 'Roam' is a B52s cover, with Ed noting is as "... one of the deepest secrets they've hidden in their songs besides 'tin roof, rusted'") . 'MFC' is introduced with, "If you gotta get out, get a small car." During 'RitFW,' he goes off on a sarcastic political rant about how he's glad our politicians are out there protecting us from flag burning ... no need to focus on problems like sewage being poured into the oceans because we've got flag burners to deal with. Classic Ed intensity. Mike dedicates 'Yellow Ledbetter' to his dad.
