April 10, 1992 Trocadero Club – Philadelphia, PA

Ed sings two lines of ‘Release’ a capella before ‘Alive,’ and during Mike’s solo at the end he strips off his shirt and dives into the crowd. Ed says the band was thinking about moving to Philadelphia, sick of all the Seattle hype, and Jeff adds, “That’s only because [Charles] Barkley lives here.” Ed starts asking for Sir Charles, saying he’s on the list that night. The fans shout out, “1, 2, 3, 4!” for the start of ‘Porch.’ Ed scales a wall during the jam and edges his way along the balcony. He makes his way to the other side, where he falls backwards (a la the ‘Even Flow’ video) into the waiting crowd’s hands, who carry him back to the stage just in time for the end of the jam section. During ‘Leash,’ Ed scales a crew member wearing a cape and hat and sings second half of the song from atop his shoulders. Fantastic show.
