I'd probably go if somebody gave me free tickets. I can arrange some actual fun stuff to do around the show in Chicago at least...

Are you seriously expecting a member of Pearl Jam to rehearse something?

Eddie just sang the 7th inning stretch, in what looked to be his 1st communion suit coat

i heard he claimed there'll be other surprises thursday night and "not just who songs"

I admit, I'm pretty looking forward to going to this night after tomorrow.

This showed up in my google news feed. This guy really has gone from being one of my favorite vocalists to being a guy who can make "take me out to the ballgame "actually seem 10 times more annoying then it normally is.

When you use the same emotional affectations for a bullshit baseball song that you do for your own music, it's sort of like breaking the fourth wall.

I admit, I'm pretty looking forward to going to this night after tomorrow.

Imagine a man
Warbling heartlessly at a crowd
Who all have too much money to spend
And you will see the end.

My money is on Betterman and/or Elderly Woman. We may get a couple Ed solo songs too.

I'm an admitted fanboy but have seen Ed give enough 'meh' performances to know when he's phoning it in. I can't compare singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame to singing in tomorrow's setting. I'll be shocked if he disappoints.

Ed was at the cubs games, they showed it during the mets game. Man, 50 has not been kind to him the first few months. He looked like all the shows and tours have really caught up to him physically.

I guess the guy who is the 3rd man on the cubs radio team is a huge pearl jam fan. He was on the sports am station this morning talking to the morning show about how giddy he was to talk to ed and that he was really hoping to impress him. I was really embarassed for the guy.

I hope that dude lurks here or something and has gained some self awareness.

Last Night at the Simon Townsend show. I have yet to listen:

He sounds pretty good on the first one.

There are pics of rehearsal floating about.

Take me out to the ballgame was a giant turd.

The other two vids: meh. He sounds okay in them. But, meh to the songs anyway. Where's the thumb sideways emoticon?

At least the Just For Men treatments in his beard and hair both match. So:

I now feel dirty for making this TMZesque observation.
