For all you Vedder heads out there who missed the first show in his first ever solo tour last night* in Vancouver (uh, Vancouver? That isn’t Seattle, Eddie), you can read Ann Powers’ review here and peruse the set list below. We recommend you do so while drinking coffee or at least directing your darkest thoughts toward Ticketmaster.

*The first version of this post stated that it was Vedder’s first solo show ever. We should have written that it was the first show of his first solo tour ever. Guess we need to take our own advice and drink more coffee.
Not quite the first-ever solo show: Eddie played at All Tomorrows Parties, right here in LA, a few years ago (when Sonic Youth curated.) If memory served, he played mostly ukelele and was accompanied by a young surfer he’d met earlier in the week.
Are you guys gonna keep publishing setlists? That’s great, but I think what this column needs is some guitar tabs.
Ed also played a solo show at the RIAA show back in 2001 and the 2004 Tsunami benefit with Tenacious D back in 2005. Though neither of these shows were “solo” tours
Pure beauty! Thanks for the article. I’m headed to LA in 8 days for Ed’s show at the Wiltern. Cannot wait - he is a musical genius.
