This was a "secret" show for the band's Facebook group, The Cold Manor. Only
33 tickets were sold -- yes 33! It was extremely hard to get in. Some fans
had to sit outside near the bar just to hear! Having not gotten a ticket, I
arrived early and Scott let me in with my gear. I set up off to the side of
the room. I found a wooden box to sit on, made friends with the owner, promoter,
venue staff & was allowed to stay. The entire show was acoustic except for
the final 3 songs, "Smothered", "Hand To Mouth" & "Watchtower". During the
first hour of the performance we had a very obnoxious older gentleman who was
seated behind me. He clearly had way too much to drink before the show and
decided to talk to his party whenever he felt like it. He also disrespected
Scott more than once (on stage). At the end of "Simple Pleas", Scott had had
enough, took a twenty out of his wallet, handed it to him and told him to
leave. Turns out, he wasnt even a member of the FB group, he was a last minute
extra ticket when someone had backed out. If you can tune him out during the
first half (thank god, he doesnt talk during the incredible rendition of
"Buffalo Trace"), its not a bad listen. Most of the songs are crowd requests
and some great ones were picked. When was the last time you saw some of these
songs in a setlist? Not to mention, outside of "Eddie Vedder", not one radio
single was played. Truly a show for the hardcores. You might be looking at
that setlist and wondering what "Creature Comforted" sounds like acoustic,
well wonder no more. Thanks to the band for letting me in and HUGE thanks to
Kelly Wey and Joe Shanahan for making this show possible! There are 4 more
planned for June, hopefully a couple will get recorded, as I cannot attend.

Ryan Harding played bass off and on throughout the set and Gabe Rodriguez
guested on drums. Ryan did get behind the kit for a couple songs - most 
notably, "Another February" and "Creature Comforted". Scott performed quite
a bit solo. Blake Smith (Caviar, Fig Dish) guested on "All Along The
Watchtower" to close out the evening playing bass.
