TFT Notes: "Severed Hand" starts "SNL-style" rather than the with the pre-recorded backing track. Ed references the cavernous Continental Airlines Arena in "Hail, Hail" with "Ah, looks like there's room for both of us". During "Animal", Ed's mic cuts out before he begins to sing, so the song is aborted abrubtly. On the bootleg, the band's techs are heard saying they "lost all of the vocals". This day was a hot and humid day with many thunderstorms, a possible cause for the power problem. The five-minute break keeps the crowd thirsty as Matt plays a beat similiar to what you'd hear at a baseball game "1, 2, 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4, 'Let's Go!'" with the crowd clapping along. Applause as Ed's mic comes back on, "Can you hear me now? So whose job was it... here in New Jersey to pay the electric bill for this building tonight, that's what we wanna know? Is it uh, I know Bruce Springsteen is on tour right now, do you think maybe he didn't pay the bill before he left? Well I'm, personally I'm more ready than I ever was, so if you guys are still in ..." leading right back into "Animal". Always a crowd-pleaser, Ed mentions after "In Hiding" that this crowd is much better singers than Thursday night's show. Community Food Bank of New Jersey will receive one dollar from every ticket from this show, and "they served half a million people since 1982, over a half a billion of food and groceries". Ed mentions how playing "Gone" in New Jersey is appropriate - being written in Atlantic City - and how he wanted to play "Atlantic City" for the Borgata shows, but couldn't remember the chords, but "my fingers found their way and turned out to be this song". Mike inserts a very quick lick from Mad Season's "River of Deceit" just after the "I choose to feel" line during "Inside Job", an song by "Mike McCready, words and all". Ed comes out after the encore break and says there was a little argument backstage about what to play. One song Ed mentions they have to play, and that June 3rd is "West Memphis Three Day" and talks about their plight, his involvement and his collaboration with Damien Echols on "Army Reserve". Ed introduces Damien's wife, Lori Davis, who steps up to the mic to thank Pearl Jam and everyone else's support. "Last Kiss" is played to the crowd behind the stage (so the rest of the night is "guilt free"), including Matt on a bass drum snare and hi-hat set up for him. "Leash" is introduced as another "sing-along" and - just as recent versions - Ed sings "Take my lucky hand..." (see the Vs. lyric sheet) and "Delight in the truth". Before "Don't Gimme No Lip", Stone addresses the crowd on this last night of the first Leg of the tour, "I know you've all been waiting for it, and I just wanna say thank you very much. myself and everyone else has had a great tour and I wanna thank Ed Ved personally cause he's put in so many hours to this record, and the video we made, and every night's setlist, and he just does an amazing job with an incredible amount of energy, and we're so lucky to have him. LADIES AND GENTLEMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN, ROUND OF APPLAUSE! (crowd cheers) Thank you, alright, 'Don't Gimme No Lip'". With a few weeks break before Leg Two starts, "Why Go" and "Leaving Here" are played back to back. During "Leaving Here", Jeff takes the first three solos and Matt the last. "Yellow Ledbetter" is introduced as "we don't know what else to say, so Mike McCready's gonna say it for us".
