Amazing setlist - highlights for me included Long Road, Immortality, Open All Night, Rockin in the Free World, and Falling Slowly. Didn't sounds like RITFW was on the setlist, but Ed was impressed with the crowd (they had ditched their seats and pushed up to the front of the stage sometime around Wishlist) and decided 'it needed to be added'. Betterman was the lullaby version which was awesome. Falling Slowly with Glen was also amazing as their voices meld together nicely - I believe Ed was singing the upper register stuff. Great set, great performance. I remember seeing him in 2008 and he was a little more reactive to fans on stage, sometimes bothered by them - he was more vocal about people shouting at him. Now when people shout at him he says 'I can't hear anything up here' and blows it off, and that seems to work better. He started to tell a story about smoking pot and learning how to tie knots which, of course, got a huge rise out of the crowd. Some dude in the back yells 'WE LOVE KNOTS' and Ed sorta stops and laughs and goes 'did he just say fuck knots? I can't hear anything up here'. Not too much random shouting after that, thankfully.

I gotta mention the Tenclub seating was a joke - I was in row J of the balcony all the way to the left side against the wall. There were fans seated ever further behind us 5 rows from the back of the place, I was sorta of blown away. I'm sure some tenclubbers were down front on the floor somewhere too, but this is some of the worst tenclub seats I've seen at a show. You win some, you lose some, I guess. I'll take the killer setlist and bad seats over a regular setlist and awesome seats any day.

setlists still werent as unique as the shows i saw. lol kinda muddling through the motions atm...eh?

damn... would have loved to be there, big big fan of Densmore used to post on his message board all the time back in the day, (even got a few msgs from him) lol

yeah i wish at least there was a different taping policy for the solo shows

that would have been cool to see John Densmore...and hear the Tibetian Bells

yeah I really want to hear that Long Road

lol... me too



I just pop on the version I posted here...I like that one




I listened to it on repeat this morning.
