Let's talk about the 1999 tour

This was such a weird tour. Having the DJ and the rapper felt like they were trying to cash in on the nu-metal craze. It's funny looking back seeing Eddie rocking the Ed Hardy t shirts and baggy jeans. Also who's bright idea was it to have Limp Bizkit as a support act?

That run in the summer was especially intense. Remember Eddie's rants about Jar Jar Binks and how disappointed he was in the Phantom Menace?

I went to every show in Europe on that tour. What a time to be alive.

Where can I find that SB audio of Ed and C-average at the TFC? Also Love building on fire was best too.

What was that other show they did together?

They did this, the house of blues (2 nights), and then some other benefit. Something that mike watt put on? Or some drug benefit show?

That was a pretty great recording. I lost that years ago....

They did four other shows besides TFC and HoB.

Besides this, the 99 HOB shows are probably the best quality Ed and C-Average. Man 99 was weird, pearl jam had such a comeback year in 98, then oddly they take 99 off and Ed goes off and plays with some friends all summer. Strange but cool.

Yea, this one:

06/25/99 - Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles, CA (Ed with C Average)
attendance: 3,500
set: Last Kiss, Watch Outside, Driven To Tears, Running Out Of Time, Diamonds In The Rough, Love -> Building On Fire, I Am A Patriot
notes: This was supposed to be a surprise appearance at a benefit hosted by the Red Hot Chili Peppers (also on the bill: Mike Watt & the Black Gang Crew and Perry Farrell). Ed performs 'Against The 70's' with Mike Watt prior to his set. Ed is wearing an unusual Buddy Holly-style jacket with vertical blue and maroon stripes of different widths. Ed continues the TFC shtick by introducing Brad and Jon from C Average as these guys he pulled out of the crowd at the TFC, and that it worked so well they were going to do it again! Brad (C-Avg, drums) tries to say something, and Ed says, "Brad, you speak when I tell you." Ed introduces 'Running Out Of Time' by saying, "This is, these are, a couple of songs by a band you might not have heard of called Dead Moon ... after you hear these, you can say that you have." The band charges into 'Diamonds In The Rough' right after 'Running Out Of Time' with no break. Ed then reads a list of random words around "LA" much like the "MW" incantation at the start of Self-Pollution Radio (and also like he did with "BS" at the 2/8/95 show). There was also a bit of a (justified) anti-drug tirade (tying into the theme behind the evening) that got the crowd going a bit. The same thrash punk version of 'Patriot' as the TFC, accompanied by the same frantic Townshend windmilling, closes the set.

There was a good recording of this one.
