YouthCare Benefit: All acoustic benefit show. Encores are solely from the Sony TRV22 source, main set is two camera mix. True multichannel audio. 

notes: 
This show is an acoustic benefit for YouthCare, a Seattle nonprofit providing services for homeless youth. Notably, this show is the 13th anniversary of PJ's first show (at the Off Ramp). The crowd is extremely loud, much louder than you'd expect from 2,500 people. Matt is wearing a shirt and skinny tie. Boom is there on keyboards. 'Thin Air' is obviously baubled when Stone flubs the solo after the second verse. He just stops playing and sort of grins at himself. Ed makes a comment, "We heard about this room and, if you make the slightest mistake, that everyone would catch on to it. There's no chance of getting away with that one" (but the crowd is very forgiving). 'Fatal' is a lovely Binaural outtake appearing on the Lost Dogs release. Mike plays electric on 'NAIS.' 'Man Of The Hour' is introduced as new song, recently written by Pearl Jam and recorded two days before for Tim Burton's upcoming movie, Big Fish. After 'Around the Bend,' Ed tells a little story. He explains that before the show started, an older guy in an overcoat approached him and asked if he was indeed Ed Vedder. Ed thought, "No, I'm not probably." Apparently the guy tried to serve him legal papers. Ed notes on the irony of playing a benefit show and having someone try to serve him papers, seeing it as a test of will. "You come to play a benefit and somebody tries to serve you legal papers. It's the most punk ass motherfuckin' move I've ever known. Just fucking ridiculous." During 'Sleight of Hand,' of all songs, an audience member makes it on stage. He raises his arms a little and jogs in place, clearly pumped up. However, with the band ignoring him and crowdsurfing obviously not an option, he is frozen to the spot and is swiftly escorted off. After the song ended, Ed jokes, "Sorry about that. That's the manager of the group; his name is Kelly Curtis." After 'All or None,' Ed acknowledges Mike, who receives a standing ovation. Stone then speaks a bit about YouthCare and how the acoustic setting is ideal to showcase strongly lyrical songs, which sometimes get lost in an electric show. Then they proceed to go into a full speed, acoustic 'Lukin.' After the song ends, Ed sarcastically comments, "that young gentleman earlier; he just mis-timed it." 'Can't Keep' and 'Dead Man' are performed solo by Ed, with the uke helping out on 'Can't Keep.' '25 Minutes To Go' is a song penned by Shel Silverstein that Johnny Cash recorded and popularized. The brief 'Daughter' tags are 'You Know My Name' (The Beatles) and 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away (John Lennon). 'YL' closes with the band plugged in and standing, pushing aside the seats they'd used throughout the show. 'Masters Of War' is Ed, Stone and Mike playing some heavy riffs. The audience sings the last verse of 'Black' loudly after Ed points at the crowd.
