Pasted from the Pit: Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town Can’t Keep Sleeping By Myself Without You (Ed greets the audience. A man and a women shout that they love Eddie. Ed thinks the man sounds more drunk than the woman. A person in the audience makes an odd braying sound. Ed asks if you are allowed to bring in diseased Emu’s into the building. Ed talks about the meaning of the song “Soon Forget” and says it reminds him of a Porno For Pyros song called “Cursed Male”, which he plays a couple of bars from.) Soon Forget Around The Bend You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away-(Lennon, McCartney) (instrumental intro only) Driftin’ Wishlist Better Man (Ed forgets the lyrics pretty early on. He laughs and says “This is a new song and I’ve never played it before.” He messes up again but eventually gets back on track. seems to be some new improvisational lyrics during the outro) Millworker (instrumental middle section jam no lyrics) Far Behind No Ceiling (Ed introduces the next song by talking about Chris McCandless and his travels. Ed hopes that even if it hadn’t ended tragically that someone would have written a book about him. “this next song is about life, love, hope and the pursuit of happiness.”) Guaranteed (Ed says, “this is a mandolin..” and audience member screams “Lukin!”. Ed replies, “yeah, I am gonna play Lukin on a mandolin...he strums the chords for it a little bit then plays the main riff from “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath. Ed, “I will play anything you want if you just stop taking pictures. Save it for the end. I don’t want it distracting the rest of the audience.” Rise Long Nights w/ Glen Hansard (Ed repeats an audience members shout of “my name is Jeremy.” Ed laughs and says, “I owe you an apology don’t I? in mocking tone “hey Jeremy, you speak in class today? Sorry man....” He goes on to talk about Ken Burn’s documentary on the Dust Bowl this leads to a series of digressions and stories including his part time job working at the club “Bacchanal” and getting to work a Ray Charles show. As Ray passes Ed he says, “That is a fine haircut son” referring to Ed’s mohawk. Ed is stunned and thinks “Ray Charles can see, all this time, he has been playing us.” Ed then sees Ray’s handlers laughing and realizes he has been set up. “It was an honor to get pranked by the great Ray Charles.”) Immortality (dedicated to Ray Charles) Ed says this next one is a sing along and starts to strum the chords for “Slow Lukin” an audience member says he wants to come up and sing Hunger Strike. Ed says, “oh, you are gonna sing Chris’s part? I like it when audience members tell jokes.” While Ed has been talking he continued strumming the “Slow” version of Lukin after a few more strums he plays the regular version) Lukin Porch Encore Break Just Breathe Pump Organ (same version as previously. Lyrics rather than wordless singing) Ed wonders what to play next. He says, “I just got an interesting request...I have never played this by myself before, when I get to the chorus I may have to stop for a bit...” Education (on acoustic guitar. plays it pretty well. Little hesitations on the bridge section) Ed describes the next song as being sort of like Better Man but from the man’s perspective. “Maybe every terrible, awful, tragic story has two sides.” Fourth Of July Society w/ Glen Sleepless Nights w/ Glen- [ no mics or PA) Can’t Help Falling In Love w/ Glen- {Dedicated to newlywed Eric and his wife} This Land Is Your Land {Glen plays ukulele and vocals, Ed vocals-They rehearsed it just a few minutes before Ed went on stage. Dedicated to Woody Guthrie} (Ed talks about the owner of Papa’ John’s not wanting to give his employees health care. Despite posting huge profits he claims that health care will cost him too much. A belligerent audience member shouts at Ed to stop talking about politics and just sing his songs. Ed tells the guy to put his leash back on and settle down. Maybe smoke some pot, which is legal in Seattle. Ed, “I can’t wait to get back home.” Ed says the next song is beautiful and that there is someone special in the audience he wants to play it for. “This is for Michelle, Thanks for letting us take Jesse out with us. We need him. This is a beautiful song and I can say that because I didn’t write it”) Falling Slowly w/ Glen-Dedicated to Michelle Loud Uke I Won’t Back Down {crowd sings outro chorus. Ed says “it sounds like church”} So You Want To Be A Rock And Roll Star Dedicated to Wayne Coyne of “The Flaming Lips” an Oklahoma native The End Encore Break (Ed invites a girl onstage to start the tape machine for Hard Sun) Hard Sun w/ Glen |

This was most hollering loud obnoxious crowd of the tour so far according to those doing the tour. People just don't get it. Sit sown and shut the fuck up. And then the same people wonder why Ed doesn't release the boots. |

The only thing I do not like about seeing Ed solo but it's a big complaint. Sucks for the audience too have when there are jerks in a crowd deteremined to ruin the experience. Got my fingers crossed for the Jax shows this weekend will be more southern polite than yahoo redneck. |

First time seeing Ed solo, and aside from all the assholes shouting out requests, it was really good show. Long Nights w/Glen was really good, as was Sleepless Nights. There were several instances where the crowd just wasn't into it, and wanted him to play "the hits." Someone shouted out "YELLOW LEDBETTER!" Really? Even though I live in Oklahoma, I really don't know how big of a fan base PJ/EV has here. It seemed most of the crowd was from bordering states. |

I would think most of the A-holes would be from places other than Tulsa. Tulsa is a surprising cool, friendly city and not a bad place to watch a show, generally. |
