| Notes | 09/23/02 - House of Blues, Chicago, IL (benefit for the Maryville Academy; opening for The Who) [47m] soundcheck (previous day): Better Man, Insignificance, Grievance, You Are, Save You, I Am Mine, Not For You, Leaving Here, Yellow Ledbetter, Can't Keep, Green Disease, Love Boat Captain, one other new song (9/22/02 soundcheck not in correct order) soundcheck: Last Kiss, Grievance (2X), Green Disease, Insignificance, Leaving Here set: Last Kiss, Insignificance, Grievance, I Am Mine, Love Boat Captain, Green Disease, Not For You, Better Man, Leaving Here, Yellow Ledbetter notes: Originally this benefit was to feature Ed plus C-Average opening for The Who, but PJ (minus Stone, who had a prior commitment with Conservation International) opened. In a funny twist, a near life-sized cardboard cutout of Stone wearing a gold glittery jacket and holding Pete's Gibson is brought out on the stage. (Ed quips about Stone being very "one dimensional" tonight.) Boom, a native Hawaiian friend of Ed's (who plays on some of the forthcoming Riot Act tracks), fills in on keyboards. Jeff, in an obvious nod to the late John Entwistle, wears a skeleton t-shirt. Ed notes at one point during the show that Boom flew in from the islands just for this show. 'Leaving Here' is nailed and a a hit with The Who fans. 'Yellow Ledbetter,' with modified lyrics (referencing Entwistle), closes the set with Ed noting it ?takes a lot of balls? to play on the stage that The Who are about to come out on. A quick set with the band cheerful and a mix of songs to play to that particular crowd, de-emphasize Stone's absence and introduce a few new ones. |
