notes : Not a very talkative show. Show starts off a little slow, crowd is a little quiet. At the end of 'Wishlist' Ed sings, "I wish I was a singer ... that remembered all the words." The "Hold On" tag in 'Daughter' is an audience participation thing orchistrated by Ed; he tells the crowd to sing "hold on" after him. It continues for about five reptitions, and then he continued, making it more difficult for the crowd to keep up with his high notes until they quit singing. Ed talks about reasons he's excited to be in New York, that it's nice to be back in a "big city" and that it's also a great year for an election. That he wouldn't tell us who to vote for (Ralph Nader), or that he'd in any way influence our decision (Green Party), but that we should vote. That he's talked to Ralph Nader and he doesn't know if he likes Pearl Jam's music, but he thinks he'd like the next song, which is 'Soon Forget.' During 'State,' Ed brings the mic to the crowd and lets a fan sing a refrain. Mike's solo in 'Black' amazes everyone, including Ed. During 'Fuckin' Up,' Mike is playing the guitar behind his head. Celebrities fans are in attendance in Ten Club seats (Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Pete Sampras).
