*siiiiigh*.... no mention of tasting 13 tonight... but still a good one, nonetheless /images/wink.gif...
04/03/01 - St. James Theatre: Auckland, New Zealand (Ed appearing with Neil Finn and others)
attendance: 1,500
soundcheck: Better Man (x2)
set: [only songs that included Ed] Take a Walk, Better Man, Stuff and Nonsense, Not For You, History Never Repeats, I Got You, World Where You Live, Paradise
notes: Ed joins the band much earlier tonight, singing 'Take a Walk' five songs into the first set. He strolls out carrying a notebook and a beer. Both Ed and Neil sing in this song. The call from Neil for Ed to come out seems to catch him off guard, as he comes out with a freshly lit cigarette. He gives it to someone in the front row. 'Better Man' closes the set with Neil on piano/backup vocals and played "by request." Before the song, Ed mentions that "since the election last year, (he) hasn't played, so it's all been brewing up inside. I'd like to dedicate this next song to little Damien, Omen 2. But then I'd have to change the lyrics to 'can't find a bigger asshole.'" 'Stuff and Nonsense' is played 'for a friend,' and is as beautiful as the previous night. 'Not For You' has a MUCH tighter bridge, but Phil Selway messes up the end by not stopping where he obviously should have. Neil's son Liam and his band join Ed once again for 'History' and 'I Got You,' once again playing superb versions. Seeing him front Liam's band is amazing - these guys are only about 16 or 17 and Ed is just totally rocking out with them. 'World Where You Live' rounds off the three crowd pleasers. Ed once again plays ukulele for 'Paradise,' and has a lot of fun playing it. Neil calls everyone on stage after the last song for a group hug and they receive a standing ovation. For the time that Ed wasn't on stage singing, he was behind the speakers drinking (Stella beer), smoking and having a blast. He picks up a tambourine for 'Weather With You' and bangs along to a HUGE crowd clap-along. he really enjoyed himself tonight. Tonight's crowd was MUCH better than the night before, and there were rarely any 'EDDIE' calls from the crowd, obviously due to him coming out so early in the set. Full house again tonight.
Can you imagine those kids in Liam Finn's band? Rockin with Eddie Vedder as their front man?!!! They ain't never gonna quit smilin'!!!
