Just got this email:
Eddie Vedder is playing two Toronto shows, happening Tuesday, August 12th and Wednesday, August 13th at Massey Hall. You can buy tickets through the 102.1 Inside Edge presale on Thursday, July 10th from 10am to 10pm. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday morning at 10am.
I heard about this, I may have to check it out. Did anybody go to any of the shows on his recent "east coast tour"?

I did not attend a show yet - but this is by far my favorite recording in awhile:

What are ticket prices like? I heard the show in Vancouver was around $70 and not all that great.
Anybody going? I got tickets to night two; won't be in town for night one, but I rearranged my flights to make the second show.
i'm still deciding :| i got black keys and radiohead that month and trips down the 401 are starting to get costly these days with gas prices and all...
edge 102 presale sucked. I hate those stupid countdown timer waiting room things...nothing!
That was tough...no pairs to be had it seemed. I managed a 2nd row balcony single though.
Managed a couple in the gallery on the 13th, Row F, after TicketBastard tried to set me up with two 'obstructed view' beauties. This will be my first time at Massey since the June 2000 Hip show...bout time.
Damn this looks like it was incredible. I had to sell my ticket....I hate work!

Wow. Totally speechless. Got a new song from apparently way back, some great conversations between Eddie and the audience, FOURTH ROW CENTER SEATS COURTESY OF TEN CLUB, and the acoustics only Massey Hall can offer. About two and a half hours long.
Songs I can remember off-hand in no particular order:
Parting Ways with Liam
Hard Sun with Liam
Arc (GREAT loops)
Walking the Cow
Sometimes
Drifting
Believe You Me/Wishlist
Long May You Run
Trouble
I Am Mine
Dead Man
Man of the Hour
Setting Forth
Guaranteed
No Ceiling
Far Behind
Rise
Goodbye
Broken Hearted
Here's to the State
No More
Hide Your Love Away
Porch
Society with Liam
Last Kiss
The Seeker
Long May You Run
Picture in a Frame
Quite hilarious conversations:
"Will you play at my wedding?" "Truthfully, I'm surprised you're getting married"
"Play without the speakers!" "Why don't I play without the speakers, you can leave, and if it's loud enough you can come back in"
A whole story about peeing behind Massey Hall
Another story about a one-legged bicycle rider
Looks like night 2 was the best of his tour...4 Neil songs and a Dylan song ta boot
