Eddie Vedder - Lyric Opera House - Baltimore, MD

Uncle Eddie is in town again! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh! I feel like a little kid and he is going to play us our favorite songs on a stool and tell us a few jokes and stories. Always a great time when Uncle Ed comes over. Eating, drinking, and merrying! The wifebot and I met the brobot in Baltimore at the Lyric Opera House. Nice venue, simple, semi-modern exterior, old, great sounding interior.

Liam Finn opened again for the solo tour and if you havent seen him yet, go, he is good. We didnt see him this time since we have seen many times before and wanted to explore Baltimore's sights and sounds (and beer, food, and parking lots).

So we go there right when Eddie was going on and there was a good vibe in the house. Turns out right cux Uncle Eddie kicked ass with amazing energy and emotion. The sound was really good at the venue, in my tiny opinion. Ed mumbled some jokes and quips and rolled out great song after great song along with some surprises like Santa Cruz, Golden State, and Gone.
