Unusual opening with "Daughter". A smoking "Sonic Reducer". Dave collapses after "Alive" so the pace slows down and Pearl Jam performs "Yellow Ledbetter" and "Footsteps" sans drums. Chuck Treece, Urge Overkill's drummer, joins Pearl Jam for "Rockin' In The Free World".

incomplete setlist: Release, Rearviewmirror, Even Flow, Alive, Once, Why Go, Black, Jeremy, Garden, Deep, Go, Animal, Daughter, Glorified G, Leash, Porch, Indifference
Originally this show was scheduled for Pine Bluff, AR. Eddie expounds, "Is Little Rock pretty? Is it fucked? Is it pretty fucked?" The crowd roars with approval. He is relatively non-chatty, staying near center stage most of the night. Eddie passes his wine bottle to the audience and later walks to sidestage, climbs on top of a monitor, standing with his arms crossed, almost threatening to jump into the crowd. Toward the end of the show, Eddie says, "This next song was written specifically for this show, and it's called "Treat Me Like the Devil". (May have been an improv or an early version of "Satan's Bed".) Later he says, "This next song is called "Treat Me Like an Angel" leading to "Porch". Mike reads the band names and sports team names off the various clothing items tossed onto the stage throughout the show. Eventually, Pearl Jam throws most of their own clothing back to the crowd, leaving the stage wearing only their shorts and shoes.

setlist: Go, Animal, Even Flow, Glorified G, Daughter/(I'm One), Jeremy, Deep, Oceans, State Of Love And Trust, Dissident, Alive, Porch/(Tearing)
encore 1: The Kids Are Alright (Eddie solo), Rearviewmirror, Black, Rockin' In The Free World
encore 2: Indifference
Good show with Eddie fairly chatty and lots of little guitar riffs and fills are heard between songs. "Oceans" pops up oddly in mid-set. "Porch" is intense with a cool strobe light effect. Eddie stops "Black" about a minute into it asking people to quiet down, saying they haven't played it lately and that "... it's kind of a heavy thing" and asks the crowd surfers to "just cool it for one song, all right?" "If you come up, we're gonna spit on you and we're gonna kick you and the whole thing. Just mellow for one song. These people up front–they just wanna watch some music, OK? Deal!". The song is restarted from the beginning. Eddie starts off the encore with a solo performance of "The Kids Are Alright", leading directly into "Rearviewmirror". The band is on and Eddie's voice is flawless.

setlist: Go, Animal, Why Go, Deep, Jeremy, Dissident, Daughter/(Fuck Me In The Brain), Even Flow, Blood, Garden, State Of Love And Trust, Once
encore: Rearviewmirror, Whipping, Indifference, Porch
The first of two shows in Boulder, CO. The third show got canceled. All three shows got sold out within an hour. Someone down front throws a t-shirt to the stage, hitting Eddie in the face. He leaves the t-shirt on his face, takes the microphone off the stand and wraps the cord around his neck, giving the appearance of hanging himself with his face cloaked. A very intense moment in an amazing show.
