10/21/01 - Shoreline Amphitheater: Mountain View, CA (Bridge School
Benefit) (acoustic)
set : The Kids are Alright, Wishlist, I Am Mine (new song), Low
Light, Nothing As It Seems, Last Soldier, Black, Gimme Some Truth, Indifference
(with Ben Harper), Soldier of Love
notes : Pearl Jam play considerably earlier tonight, allowing time
to travel to the Groundwork Benefit the following night. Ben Harper had brought
his mother out during his performance to sing a song with him. Ed takes note of
this, saying that Ben had created a "difficult situation" as his
mother was also in attendance and he knew she'd want to sing. [Karen Vedder was
indeed in attendance.] 'Wishlist' lyrics are modified to "I wish I was the
neutron bomb, the one that didn't go off." Another new song debuts tonight,
this one seemingly an Ed song and with him playing guitar. He gives a long
speech before 'Last Soldier' about the Bridge kids (particularly noting Alan and
Maricor), noting that since their last appearance, Maricor had graduated from
the Bridge School and was now a sophomore at Berkeley. Ed polls the band members
as to how many years they attended college, and how difficult it is. "What
I'm trying to say is that, Maricor, you're fucking amazing!"
