TFT Notes: This show is the return of Pearl Jam as the headlining act, following six shows opening for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. After starting with songs like "Inside Job", "Given to Fly" and "Marker in the Sand", Ed mentions that "there's been a few songs already about 'faith' and this is yet another one", leading to "Faithfull". As the opening chords start, Ed adds that his voice is "a little scratchy tonight if anyone wants to help - join in any time - it's everybody's songs, yeah?" Admiring the diverse crowd, Ed looks around and sees "a Brazilian flag over here, I saw a Texas shirt over here. If New York's the melting pot, Vegas is the fucking boiling pot." "Daughter" contains an unidentified tag "Like a whisper, I hear her name (3x) / Like a whisper..." In "Green Disease" the rich are asked to "act with your heart and not your wallet." Still nursing a sore throat, Ed introduces "Parachutes" saying "this next song on the list, we've kinda been waiting 'til the singer gets his shit together before we tried it, or at least my throat wasn't ravaged. Even though it's a bit of a rough night for me, rather than take it off, what you're gonna hear might not be the best throat but it'll be all heart." In "Do the Evolution", Ed is the first man to wear a "worn Cubs hat." During the first encore break, Ed comes out in a silver-sequined jacket, remarking "what's a Las Vegas show without an Elvis song (cheers). I'm going to dedicate this to the Frogs who made me this jacket about 12 years ago and also to my little sister named Gina who's here tonight from Texas." With the spotlight on him and some cheers from the audience about his outfit, Ed puts on a macho voice and says "the clothes make the man." During "Elderly Woman...", Mike sees a "Jon Tester for Senate" poster and points it out to a smiling Jeff. "Better Man" includes an improvised "Save It For Later" tag, with the lines "T-R-U-S-T (3x) / I wanna trust you, I wanna love you / Forever (13x) / Don't let me down!!". At the end of "Black", Ed tags "Come Back", singing "Come back / I'll be here" repeated. The crowd sings the last half of the first verse of "Porch" over just Ed's guitar and Matt and the rest of the band come in right on time. A fan is holding up a "Dirty Frank" sign and Ed tags it during "Porch", reverting back to the style of tag last seen in 1994 with the lines "Cook em! Just to see the look on their face, cook 'em just to see the look on their face". Ed thanks and names the various sections of the arena and then the "lucky motherfuckers down in front." Before the second encore, Ed - almost apologetically - says that "as far as playing Las Vegas, we've had some good shows here. We're up lifetime. Personally I lost a couple of rounds tonight, I've been having some health issues. The game ain't over yet. We're staying at the (gaming) table - let's win this thing." Pearl Jam thanks the crowd following "Porch", with Ed adding "even the losers get lucky sometimes."
