Recorded from the front fucking row, right in front of Mike McCready. Amazing, amazing sound, almost like your head is in his amp, but all the other stuff still loud enough.

This show is more tight and solid than a full out, let loose show. The crowd seems somewhat non-responsive to the newer songs. ‘Rival’ is unbelievable and Ed speaks afterward, saying it is nice to be in New Orleans and strums a bit of the ‘Release’ intro on his guitar. He thanks Sonic Youth and talks of how wishes sometimes come true, leading to ‘Wishlist.’ During the “50 million upraised hands” the crowd slowly raises their hands and Ed laughs and comments, “Right.” ‘Elderly Woman’ is introduced as a little song with a long title. Jeff has a new, big standup bass for ‘Daughter.’ No tag, but Ed is holding notes for an incredibly long time. At the top of the encore, Ed comes out talking about how they are sorry for taking so long, but they had a fight (about what songs to play). “The good news is that was the first fight I’ve gotten into while I was here this time.” After “DTE,” he mentions the Democratic convention: “I think Clinton was gonna speak tonight, and he was gonna say: ‘My fellow Americans. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit …’” and urges people to study the issues and to vote. ‘Jeremy’ is powerful and includes a great crowd sing along. ‘Porch’ is slowish and has a bluesy feel. Ed speaks of Bukowski and quotes, “What matters most is how you walk through the fire …” and thanks the crowd for their support, leading to ‘Last Kiss.’ ‘Sonic Reducer’ is a nice surprise.
