From the pit; very rowdy crowd apparently:
Throw Your Arms Around Me Sometimes Long Road Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town (“This is the first thrash metal ukulele song..”) Can’t Keep Sleeping By Myself Without You Light Today I Am Mine (Ed thanks the audience for their enthusiastic response. Ed says the next song is about a woman. “But it could go both ways. Like some women and some men. I wish I had homosexual tendencies so I could come down to Florida and really piss some people off when I came out.” A guy in the crowd asks Ed to marry him. Ed ask what he looks like because he sounds a little rough. It goes on from there.) Betterman Setting Forth Far Behind Guaranteed (Ed talks about the preferred way to hold a guitar which means covering up his balls not up under his chin. Ed says he has “a couple of friends from Chicago. One new and old. So happy birthday to George and Christina.”) Rise (Ed invites Glen to come play. He asks Glen how is mom is doing (she is at the show) and introduces Glen and the Audience to Mark Richards, a famous surfer. The tape machine and drum box have MR stickers on them. He says, “Mark doesn’t normally get such good seats but since he paddle-boarded from Melbourne we thought we would put him up front.) Long Nights w/ Glen Hansard (Ed tells the audience that jelly fish are immortal. He explains that when they are starving they shrink up and return to an earlier, younger shape until they no longer need to. He says scientists are studying it learn how to make people live longer. He says being immortal might take away some of the precious moments we treasure as mortal beings..”I’m gonna live forever so fuck it..., So, there needs to be a balance...”) Immortality (Ed talks about the first time Pearl Jam played Miami at the Cameo Theater. He got a terrible sunburn. When he was climbing around the building, which he contemplates doing tonight, and went into the audience, all of the people clawing at his sunburned back was one of the most physically painful things he ever experienced.) Porch
Encore Break 1 Loud Uke You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away (“This next song is a request. I don’t really do it but I am gonna try.”) Reason To Believe (Springsteen) Just Breathe (Ed says the next song is very important to him. The song helped him get through some things in his life and hearing that someone else could go through something so difficult gave him hope knowing that if they got through the situation, maybe he could too.) Good Woman Ed notes that he got to sing on “Good Woman” when Chan was recording in Seattle and she sang on his version of “Tonight You Belong To Me.” Ed hadn’t even really seen Chan since then although they are friends. “I am very happy she is here tonight and please treat her with respect - the great Chan Marshall.”) Tonight You Belong To Me w/ Chan Marshall [Cat Power] Society w/ Glen Hansard Sleepless Nights w/Glen Hansard (no PA or mics) (Crowd is very noisy for this song. A drunk shouts “Let’s go Patriots.” This causes Ed and Glen to stop playing and say “f you” to the idiot. It also causes more drunken shouting for other teams and requests and general shushing. They quickly finish the song and move back to the mics. After Ed and Glen get back to the carpet Ed admonishes the first person that yelled, saying, “I don’t care who you root for, it is more your timing.”) Falling Slowly w/ Glen Hansard (During the first quiet verse some other person shouts “Patriots Suck”) Unthought Known Rockin’ In The Free World
Encore Break 2 Hard Sun w/ Glen Hansard & Chan Marshall Tomorrow Night

If Ed had any balls, he would end the show when people interrupt him like that. That way he makes a point, and the "yeller" gets the shit beaten out of him by angry audience members. I've seen several artists do it under lesser circumstances.

When Ed talks about the sun burn, he says he was at miami beach with Jeff. Some topless chicks came up to him and asked if he was in that band. He said he had a hat on and denied being in the band. He said something along the lines of being a faithful guy who didnt cheat. He said he got the sunburn from falling asleep on the beach while reading Bukowski's Post Office, possibly for the second time.
