he dedicated it to mt. pleasant back in 06 if im correct. I think he knows some people there, and i think he has stayed there a couple times when the band has been here.

Anyone have a clue as to why Vedder dedicated "Elderly Woman..." to Mt. Pleasant? Do we think it's the only cool neighborhood he knows the name of and was an attempt to sound like he knows the 202? That aint a bad thing. I recall back in the day he had some friends in DC who may have lived there. Guesses?

I'm glad someone else finally sees the Desmond (Lost) look-alike thing! I'm seeing PJ on Friday in Connectiut, can't wait.

I'm glad you're joking, but plagiarism ain't no joke.

"Way to plagiarize the beginning of your review." Do you have proof? Thought not. This is not plagerism. They used the same verse of a song to illustrate a point. It would be perfectly conceivable to use this verse to compare Pearl Jam to itself circa 1994, when they were presumably more rockin'. Call it bad editing, but don't call it plagerism. No fool of a journalist would do this on purpose.

It was nice to hear Ed dedicate "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town" to Mount Pleasant. Last night's show was easily better than the 2006 one. The crowd was fantastic.

Way to plagiarize the beginning of your review Apparently the kid was just a random in the front row. Ed asked his mom at the beginning of the 2nd encore if the kid knew how to play guitar.

Does anyone know who that kid was that went on stage and played the guitar? Why was he up there?

Great synopsis. They played "Last Kiss" facing the back of the stage for the few hundred of us that were back there... great song... great show. All those songs, and they didnt play "Jeremy"... only complaint of the night.
