I posted this over on the Pit first, but thought people here might want to read it too. This is transcribed from official boot after Evenflow (to the best of my ability):

Eddie: ...This is the last night that we're, uh, we're on the Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker train. And uh, we've barnstormed a few of your cities and, uh, we've...we've had a great, great time doing it. And it's been great to be around a band that's been together for thirty years and sounds as good as ever, if not better. And a little bit of wisdom, in the late night hours, and uh, I think that's gonna keep us going for the next 15 years.

I was talking to a guy, uh, before the show tonight and, uh, he works with another group that's been around almost that many years, I think. And uh, and I, he said something that I totally agree in. You can't be a band and do this and keep continuing this long unless you're absolutely best mates. And uh, I just want to toast my best mates up here. I don't know how we've done it, but we've done it so far. Some people are harder to put up with than others. (points hand over head and downward toward himself) So I'm really proud to be part of this group, and this crew and this family and everything. I just wanted to say it openly. There it is. Thank you...

That's really cool! Thanks for posting it!

Stand up guy, that Vedder

thats so cool

Cool, thanks for sharing

Fixed.

you escaped from the trading forum?

i caught him on the run, he is back in his cage now

That took some humility and honesty for him to admit that he is the one in the group that is the hardest to put up with.

Cool...That's just Eddie

That Eddie, uh, he's not uh, he doesn't, uh, his articulation could use some work huh?

cool little speech.

I love it when people include the uhs and ums

I can't believed that soulfire bothered to type out the uh's.

Makes it more realistic though.

true. I thought he was right there mumbling in my living room.

i was there and thought it was a very cool moment...

also thought he was specifically looking at stone when he talked about some people being hard to deal with than others
but then he pointed to himself

that's, uh, awesome - good to hear that type of sentiment in public every once in a while.
